Release5.3

The Pyro Archon rides into battle on her Flamestrider and remains one of the strongest carries in the game. Her Burst runs on Fighting Spirit instead of Energy, gathered whenever the party spends Nightsoul points or lands Normal Attacks, so she thrives with Natlan teammates. She shines in Melt and Vaporize teams, and can also sit off-field as a Pyro enabler.

Normal Attack

Her Burst level sets the ATK bonus per Fighting Spirit added to Sunfell Slice and to every Flamestrider attack during Crucible of Death and Life, which is why it comes first, just ahead of her Skill.

Guide

How to play

How she works

  • The Named Moment (Skill) fills her Nightsoul points and puts her in Nightsoul's Blessing. Tap for the Ring of Searing Radiance, which follows the active character and deals Pyro DMG; hold to ride the Flamestrider, which turns her Normal, Charged and Plunging Attacks into Pyro DMG.
  • Hour of Burning Skies (Burst) uses Fighting Spirit (castable from 50, best at 100). The party generates it by consuming Nightsoul points and by landing Normal Attacks (1.5 per hit). She then enters Crucible of Death and Life: her actions stop consuming Nightsoul, and her Sunfell Slice and Flamestrider attacks gain DMG based on the Fighting Spirit spent.
  • Gift of Flaming Flowers: +30% ATK for 10s when a teammate triggers a Nightsoul Burst. Kiongozi: after her Burst, the active character deals up to 40% more DMG, decaying over 20s.

Rotation (on-field Melt)

  1. Build Fighting Spirit with your supports: Citlali, Xilonen, then Bennett's Burst.
  2. E, then Q once she has 100 Fighting Spirit.
  3. Chain Flamestrider Charged Attacks, dash-cancelling them for more DPS.
  4. Refresh supports when Crucible ends.

She needs at least one other Natlan character (or a strong Normal Attack user) to charge her Burst in time.

Strengths

  • Among the highest damage ceilings in the game
  • No Energy Recharge needed
  • Flexible: on-field carry or off-field Pyro application
  • Her Flamestrider crosses any terrain, which makes exploring a joy

Weaknesses

  • Relies on another Natlan character to charge Fighting Spirit
  • Dash-cancelling Charged Attacks takes practice
  • Off-field Pyro application is slower than Xiangling's
