Blaze Kick For Critical Hits

Blaze Kick packs quite a punch as it always lands a critical hit, shoves opponents aside, and leaves them burned. This move is particularly great for high-pressure situations or attacking from a distance because you won't need to measure your movements to make sure that your attack hits.

Feint For Invincibility

Invincibility moves are critical in Pokemon Unite, and Cinderace has a particularly useful one that can either aid in winning a close fight, or help in escaping one if necessary. This move also grants a speed buff, so it's great to utilize whenever you're in a pinch.

Battle Item
Full Heal	・Removes all status conditions from your Pokemon and makes it immune to hindrances for a short time. (Cooldown: 40s)

Pyro Ball For Ranged Damage

Pyro Ball is a long-range yet potent damaging shot that can damage all Pokemon in its line of trajectory. This is particularly great mid-game as it both deals a powerful hit and also gives you enough space between you and your enemies - ensuring your survival in case the battle gets too heated.

Flame Charge For Max Mobility

Flame Charge is a highly mobile attack as it charges you forward in a certain direction - enabling you to jump in or out of the fray depending on your needs. This gives you the option of going for X-Attack instead of Full Heal as your Battle Item so you can crank out more damage in a shorter window.

Full-On Attack Build

This Zeraora build ignores safety and survivability by equipping Held Items that increase Zeraora's attack. It can be pretty challenging if you're not careful as Zeraora is a melee Pokemon. But if you can get in and out of clashes fast, you'll definitely have fun with this high-power build!

Hunt Lone Enemy Pokemon

As this build is incredibly fragile, look for lone Pokemon to hunt. Do not try to engage Defenders as you will surely lose due to their incredible staying power. During the latter stages of the game, go around and flank to hunt enemy Attackers to win clashes.

Don't Be Afraid To Get Close

If your opponents ever get close to you, don't fret, as your Held Items will provide you enough of a boost to counter-attack. Blaze Kick can deal critical hits while Flame Charge is a highly mobile attack which you can capitalize on.

Cinderace Strategy Guide

Cinderace Strengths & Weaknesses

Recommended Lanes

The number of ★ shows the level on a particular route area.

Lane	Route Details
Top	Recommendation level: ★★ ・ Scorbunny is a great Attacker Pokemon, so you can head straight into battle with your allies via the Top Lane. Since Drednaw fights don't occur here, you can focus on getting the last hits while playing safely from a distance in your early levels.
Middle	Recommendation level: ★★★ It is the easiest area to farm experience safely, wherein Scorbunny can even reach level 7 by the first battle with Drednaw. You can use the center area to maximise your level progression and as a tactical position when roaming.
Bottom	Recommendation level: ★ ・ ・ Since Drednaw is in the lower route, the battle is more likely to be intense compared to the other lanes. It is not recommended that Scorbunny take charge in this lane since it has low performance during the early stages.

Scorbunny (Lv 1~) Strategy

Pick Ember First

Although Low Sweep is an equally great offensive move, Ember is the more certain choice as it deals a sure hit. Aside from this, it also triggers additional damage for the next 3 attacks you deal. You may choose to then follow up with Low Sweep which would both deal damage and slows your opponent's movements, but pay attention to your positioning!

Generally Best To Attack From A Distance

Although you can deal with powerful hits even at the beginning of the game, you will find that your endurance is on the lower end. Avoid close fights and generally try to keep your distance as you inflict continuous damage on your opponents. Be careful when closing the distance with Low Sweep, as it can put you in a very dangerous situation.

Raboot (Lv 7~) Strategy

Moves Get More Powerful From Lv5 Onward

Your initial 2 offensive moves will get upgraded to their more powerful versions once you reach level 7. Your second move will come one short level after, at 8. This is your main power spike, so you'll want to try to reach this level as fast as possible and be of use to your team.

Adapt Your Build To Your Attack Style

At level 7 you'll get a choice between Pyro Ball & Blaze Kick. Blaze Kick will let you jump in onto enemies, providing Cinderace with better chase potential. Pyro Ball is a safer alternative, as it simply does damage at a long range. Consider adjusting your 2nd move depending on which one you pick here.

If You Chose Blaze Kick
Lv 8: FeintBuff Increases the user's movement speed for a short time and makes the user invincible
If You Chose Pyro Ball
Lv 8: Flame ChargeDash Has the user charge forward cloaked in flame, dealing damage to any opposing Pokemon it hits

Cinderace (Lv 9~) Strategy

Blaze Kick + Feint Build

With this build, you'll be able to deal with a powerful close-ranged critical attack, knock back your opponent, and become invincible for a short period of time. Being invincible for both moves in this build gives you ample opportunities to deal a few more attacks without taking in damage, and eventually flee the battle if necessary.

Pyro Ball + Flame Charge Build

This build maximizes damage potential by using two damage-dealing moves. Attack from afar with Pyro Ball, and quickly follow up with Flame Charge to both deal more damage and also increase the range & damage of your next basic attack. Then, deal with successive basic attacks until you eventually KO your opponent.

Pyro Ball + Feint Build

A build that utilizes Cinderace's invincibility granting Feint & power-packed Pyro Ball. Pick away at enemies from a safe distance with auto attacks and Pyro Ball, saving your Feint from when you anticipate a key enemy attack to land.

Blaze Kick + Flame Charge Build

Dash towards your enemies with Flame Charge while dealing damage to the receiving end of this move. Follow this up with Blaze Kick to critically hit targets and shove them, leaving burn effects for a short time. Cinderace also becomes immune to hindrance while using this move, sustaining its momentum in battle.

Unite Move: Blazing Bicycle Kick

This move can be quite useful in group battles as it inflicts damage on all enemy Pokemon in range while still keeping a safe distance between you and the opposing team.

This is also one of the best moves in the game for stealing the last hit on objectives. If you're struggling in a fight, consider saving this to try to get the last hit on Zapdos. Doing so can likely win you the game, making Cinderace one of the most impactful champions in the game.
