Fire Trailblazer's Strengths

Basic ATK Can Give A Shield

Fire Trailblazer can shield the team when activating Basic ATK, Skill, or Ultimate. The shield value produced is not high but this is an effective strategy to gain SP while increasing the team's durability.

Protect Allies With Taunt

Fire Trailblazer's Skill can taunt the enemies and force them to funnel all attacks to Fire Trailblazer. This can also reduce the damage of all incoming damage so use this if you need to protect other members of the team.

NoteThe taunt from Skill is less effective against AoE attacks as all hits cannot be funneled to attack Fire Trailblazer.

Enhanced Basic ATK Affects Adjacent Enemies

Magma Will stack accumulates when Fire Trailblazer gets hit and by consuming at least 4 stacks, Fire Trailblazer's Basic ATK becomes enhanced. Enhanced Basic ATK inflicts weakness, affects adjacent enemies, and recovers SP.

Fire Trailblazer's Weaknesses

Gives Low Shield Value

Gives Low Shield Value

Fire Trailblazer's Shield can only block a limited number of attacks. It is difficult to activate it in time to prevent damage from an enemy's powerful attack.

Prioritize On Increasing DEF

Fire Trailblazer is effective with DEF build so use a Light Cone that provides DEF bonus. The best 5-star Light Cone is Moment of Victory. However, Trend of the Universal Market or Day One of My New Life are decent 4-star Light Cone alternatives and relatively easy to Superimpose.

Nameless Glory BP Light Cone Is Also Recommended

This is Me! Light Cone is also a recommended Light Cone for Fire Trailblazer as it can simultaneously increase DEF & Ultimate DMG. It may take time to get a suitable Light Cone for Fire Trailblazer but BP Light Cone is a good option if you do not have any other choice.
