An Attacker Enhanced by Their Ultimate
Laevatain is an attacker who mows down enemies with her Basic Attacks after using her Ultimate.Managing her unique "Melting Flame" stack is the core of her mechanic, so be sure to deploy her with characters who can inflict Heat Infliction, Combustion, and Corrosion.
Laevatain Strategy Guide
Core Combat Strategy
- Stack Melting Flame using Final Strikes and Combo Skills.
- Trigger her Battle Skill the moment Melting Flame hits 4 stacks.
- Unleash her Ultimate to gain massive attack range and damage.
Stack Melting Flame via Final Strikes and Combo Skills
Laevatain's exclusive resource, Melting Flame, is generated whenever you land a Final Strike on an enemy suffering from Heat Infliction, or whenever you trigger a Combo Skill. Your first priority in any fight? Build up 4 stacks of Melting Flame as quickly as possible.
Pair Her with Heat Infliction Specialists
The higher an enemy's Heat Infliction, the faster Laevatain absorbs it to build her stacks. You'll want to run her alongside teammates who can reliably dish out Heat status such as Wulfgard or Akekuri, to turbocharge her Melting Flame generation.
Unleash Her Battle Skill at 4 Stacks
Once you hit that 4-stack threshold, unleash her Battle Skill. Doing so triggers a devastating bonus attack, generates Ultimate Energy, shreds the target's Heat Resistance, and immediately inflicts Combustion. Because Combustion fulfills the trigger condition for her Combo Skill, this move is an absolute game-changer packed with value.
Capitalize on Her Ultimate's Massive Range and Damage
Popping Laevatain's Ultimate throws her into an Enhanced state. For the next 15 seconds, her Basic Attacks get a hefty boost to both their reach and overall damage output. While this buff is active, aggressively spam your Basic Attacks and Final Strikes to melt through the enemy's health bar. The moment you cap out at 4 Melting Flame stacks again, drop another Battle Skill to keep the pressure on.
Laevatain Best Teams
Laevatain-Centered Team
This squad is entirely built around maximizing Laevatain's damage potential. The core strategy is to aggressively charge Laevatain's Ultimate gauge while keeping enemies debuffed with Combustion and Corrosion. Once she's fully charged, unleash her Ultimate to wipe out the field in one devastating burst.
Combo to Build Melting Flame
| 1 | Akekuri Battle Skill |
| 2 | Wulfgard Combo Skill |
| 3 | Active Character's Final Strike |
| 4 | Ardelia Combo Skill |
| 5 | Ardelia Battle Skill |
| 7 | Laevatain Combo Skill |
| 8 | Akekuri Battle Skill |
| 9 | Active Character's Final Strike |
Use this specific rotation to rapidly stack Laevatain's exclusive resource, Melting Flame. If you hit 4 stacks of Melting Flame at any point during this combo, immediately interrupt the sequence and fire off her Battle Skill.

Laevatain Best Weapons
Forgeborn Scathe is Recommended
| Weapon | Features |
|---|---|
| Forgeborn Scathe | - Increases Intellect, Attack, and Heat DMG - Provides a bonus to Basic Attacks after using an Ultimate |
Laevatain's recommended weapon is Forgeborn Scathe. It increases all the stats she wants, and its weapon skill synergizes well with Laevatain's playstyle of dealing damage with Basic Attacks after using her Ultimate.
Other Recommended Weapons
| Weapon | Features |
|---|---|
| Umbral Torch | - Increases Intellect, Heat DMG, and Attack - Increases damage dealt for each enemy with Combustion or Corrosion - Obtainable via Weapon Supply: Awakening |
| Fortmaker | - Increases Ultimate Energy Recharge - The most recommended among 5-Star weapons |
Laevatain Best Gear Build
- For Blue Gear, use "Mordvolt Insulation" to increase Intellect
- For Purple Gear, use "Aburrey's Legacy" for increased attack performance
- For Gold Gear, use "Hot Work"
Laevatain's recommended Gear are the "Mordvolt Insulation" and "Aburrey's Legacy" sets.
For Blue Gear, the Mordvolt Insulation Set Increases Intellect
| Armor | Mordvolt Insulation Vest ATK+16 |
|---|---|
| Gloves | Mordvolt Insulation Gloves Arts DMG UP+9.2% |
| Kit 1 | Mordvolt Insulation Wrench ATK+10.5% |
| Kit 2 | Mordvolt Insulation Wrench ATK+10.5% |
| ▼ Set Effect | |
| [Mordvolt Insulation] - Wearer's Intellect +50 - When the wearer's HP is above 80%, Arts DMG +20%. | |
The recommended Gear after obtaining Ferrium Ore is the Mordvolt Insulation set. The Set Effect greatly increases Intellect, and if the HP condition is met, your clearing power will significantly increase. Be mindful of keeping your HP high during battle.
For Purple Gear, Increase Attack with Aburrey's Legacy Set
| Armor | Aburrey Light Armor Ultimate Gain Efficiency+8.8% |
|---|---|
| Gloves | Miner Gloves T2 ATK+13.0% |
| Kit 1 | Aburrey Flashlight Ultimate Gain Efficiency+17.5% |
| Kit 2 | Aburrey Flashlight Ultimate Gain Efficiency+17.5% |
| ▼ Set Effect | |
| [Aburrey's Echo] - Wearer's Skill DMG +24% - When the wearer casts a battle skill, combo skill, or ultimate, gain ATK +5% for 15s. The buff from each of the three skill types is unique and does not stack with itself | |
After unlocking Purple Gear, you should craft the Aburrey's Legacy set. It significantly increases Ultimate Gain Efficiency, making it easier to enter an enhanced state. The long ATK buff from the Set Effect after using an Ultimate also has good synergy.
For Gold Gear, use the Hot Work Set
| Armor | Tide Fall Light Armor Ultimate Gain Efficiency+0.123 |
|---|---|
| Gloves | Hot Work Gauntlets Heat & Nature DMG UP+19.2% |
| Kit 1 | Hot Work Pyrometer Battle Skill DMG UP+0.414 |
| Kit 2 | Hot Work Pyrometer Battle Skill DMG UP+0.414 |
| ▼ Set Effect | |
| [Hot Work] - Wearer's Arts Intensity +30 - After the wearer applies Combustion, Heat DMG +50% for 10s. After the wearer applies Corrosion, Nature DMG +50% for 10s. The aforementioned effects cannot stack. | |
The Hot Work set is recommended for Gold Gear. It significantly increases the Intellect and Strength that Laevatain needs. Additionally, the Set Effect that increases Heat DMG when inflicting Combustion on an enemy also has great synergy with Laevatain's performance and is highly recommended.
Laevatain Recommended Potential Phases
P1 is Recommended
At P1, the damage of the additional attack from Laevatain's Battle Skill at Stage 4 Melting Flame increases, and she can recover SP on hit. Since the original multiplier is very high and its activation chances also increase, you'll likely feel the benefits more than the numbers suggest.
Max Potential Makes Her Unmatched in Multi-Target Battles
Her Max Potential effect extends the duration by 1 second for each enemy defeated during her Ultimate. It can be activated up to 7 times for a total duration of 22 seconds, making it a very powerful effect in multi-target battles. Be aware that it does not function against single-target bosses.
