Lantern in hand, Flins is the on-field carry of Lunar-Charged. His Skill switches him to Manifest Flame, then his special Skill unlocks Thunderous Symphony, a 30-Energy mini-Burst that deals direct Lunar-Charged DMG, boosted when a Lunar-Charged thundercloud is nearby. He has a very high damage floor, great AoE and his best teammate, Ineffa, doubles as a shielder.

Normal Attack

Use an ATK% goblet, not Electro DMG: his damage is direct Lunar-Charged, which ignores standard DMG Bonus. EM sands and goblet are viable but almost always worse. Level 90 is worth it for base ATK.

Teams

Recommended teams

Premium Lunar-Charged

Guide

How to play

How he works

  • Moonsign Benediction: Old World Secrets converts every Electro-Charged in the party into Lunar-Charged (+0.7% base DMG per 100 ATK, up to +14% at 2,000 ATK) and raises the party's Moonsign by one level. Lunar-Charged summons thunderclouds that strike enemies every 2s.
  • Ancient Rite: Arcane Light (Skill) enters Manifest Flame for 10s: his Normal and Charged Attacks deal Electro DMG (1 Electro particle every 2s on hit) and his Skill becomes Northland Spearstorm (6s cooldown).
  • Northland Spearstorm turns his Burst into Thunderous Symphony for 6s: it costs only 30 Energy and deals Lunar-Charged DMG, with an extra, stronger hit under Ascendant Gleam if a thundercloud is nearby. This is where most of his damage comes from.
  • His regular Burst, Ancient Ritual: Cometh the Night (80 Energy), is rarely worth using outside Energy-rich fights.
  • Symphony of Winter gives +20% Lunar-Charged DMG under Ascendant Gleam; Whispering Flame converts 8% of his ATK into EM (up to 160).

Rotation

  1. Set up Columbina (E → Q), Ineffa (E, Q when ready) and Sucrose.
  2. Flins E → N1 → E → Q (Thunderous Symphony).
  3. N4 × 2 while Spearstorm is on cooldown, then E → Q again.
  4. Finish with a few Normal Attacks to bank Energy, then swap out.

Keep the delay between his special Skill and Burst short, especially with 10s buffs like Viridescent Venerer.

Strengths

  • Very high damage floor and great AoE
  • His best teammate (Ineffa) is also a shielder, so his team is comfortable
  • Less reliant on a specific partner than other Lunar carries
  • Straightforward rotation built around two cheap mini-Bursts

Weaknesses

  • Lower ceiling than other Lunar teams
  • Notably weaker without Ascendant Gleam and a thundercloud nearby
  • Rotations cannot go much below 17s because of his Skill cooldown
