Burnice's Strength

Continuous Damage & Burn Effect

Burnice is an Anomaly character that can accumulate additional damage in addition to inflicting Burn when other allies attack. Since there's no need for her to enter battle again when Disorder or Burn disappears, she is an excellent combination with attackers who excel at staying in battle for extended periods of time.

Tips!	Burn is an Attribute Anomaly that deals continuous damage for approximately 10 seconds after being applied. Once applied, it automatically continues to deal damage without further action.

Great for Applying Disorder

Since Burnice can inflict Burn when she isn't on the field, it's easy to inflict Disorder while other Anomaly attackers are fighting. Its ability to apply Burn and prepare for follow-up attacks in a short time makes it a good combination with characters like Jane, who prefer to stay on the field longer.

Ultimate Allows Attacking Together with the Next Agent

Burnice's Ultimate allows for a Quick Assist swap to the next character while it is active. Burnice will continue to attack for a while after being switched, so you can do a lot of damage with simultaneous attacks from 2 characters during the best opportunities to attack, such as when the enemy is Stunned.

Burnice's Weakness

Difficult to Deal High Burst Damage

Burnice's Burn deals continuous damage for 10-13 seconds after being applied. It is difficult to produce high burst damage and you cannot stack the Anomaly Proficiency increase, so it is difficult to use her as the main attacker.

Tips!	The combined damage is quite high, so you should be able to deal significant damage when you arrange a team focusing on Disorder.

Difficult to Use Damage Buffs from Allies

Burnice's additional damage references Burnice's own stats, making it hard to utilize ATK Buffs from characters like Caesar. If you want to focus on Burn damage, it would be better to use debuffs against enemies or buffs for the whole team.

Burnice - Strategy and Combo

Recover Heat & Apply Scorched

Burnice generates damage while other Agents are fighting, so use Energy to accumulate Heat and use various attacks to inflict "Scorched" on enemies. Additional damage can only be activated by other allies, so it is recommended that you switch characters after "Scorching" them.

Switch Just Before Heat Runs Out

To build up Heat, using the second hit of the EX Special Attack is recommended. It's best to hold the Basic Attack and consume Heat to activate it, but as long as you have even a little Heat, you can fully execute the Basic Attack so try to switch characters just before using it all up.

Tips!	If you run out of Heat and the buff runs out, use the EX Special Attack's first hit.

Burnice's Best Combo

Stun Enemy, Use Ultimate & Quick Assist

If you have Decibels accumulated when the enemy is Stunned, use Burnice's Ultimate then switch to the Attacker using Quick Assist. By switching, the Ultimate's attack time will also be extended, so you can aim for massive damage and Disorder at the same time.

Burnice - Best Build (W-Engine/Disc Drive)

Recommended Drive Disc

Versatile Build

Drive Disc	Set Effect
Chaos Jazz x4	2-Pieces: Anomaly Proficiency +30 4-Pieces: Fire DMG and Electric DMG increases by 15%. While off-field, EX Special Attack and Assist Attack DMG increases by 20%. When switching on-field, this buff continues for 5s, and continuation effect can trigger once every 7.5s.
Freedom Blues x2	2-Pieces: Increases Anomaly Proficiency by 30.
Recommended Base Stat
[4]	Anomaly Proficiency
[5]	Fire DMG
[6]	Anomaly Mastery / ATK
Recommended Random Stats
Anomaly Proficiency / ATK (%)

This is a versatile build that enhances both the additional damage from the Afterburn effect and the damage from Burn. If you have a Inferno Metal with excellent Random Stats, feel free to equip it as a 2-piece set.

Recommended W-engine

W-Engine	Recommendation
Flamemaker Shaker	Recommendation: - Burnice's Signature W-Engine - Increases damage output and maintains Anomaly Proficiency buff even while off-field - Can replenish the often insufficient energy supply
Fusion Compiler	Recommendation: - The combination of three offensive buffs is powerful - High base ATK enables strong damage output - Fully activating Anomaly Proficiency can be a challenge
Electro-Lip Gloss	Recommendation: - Increases the wielder’s stats when enemies are under an anomaly - Deals high damage through Burn effects - Easy to use without needing to pay attention to activation conditions, which is a key advantage
Weeping Gemini	Recommendation: - When team members inflict an anomaly on enemies, Anomaly Proficiency increases - The effect is extremely strong when fully activated - Although it lacks stability, the burst damage potential is impressive
Rainforest Gourmet	Recommendation: - ATK increases based on energy consumption - Constantly raises Anomaly Proficiency, which is a great asset - A downside is that the effect can wear off quickly while off-field
[Magnetic Storm] Bravo	Recommendation: - W-Engine specialized in boosting Anomaly Proficiency - Its B-rarity makes it easy to obtain and upgrade - Since its firepower is modest, it’s a good temporary option until you acquire a better W-Engine

Burnice - Best Team Comp

Jane Disorder Team

			Bangboo
Jane	Caesar	Burnice	Red Moccus

Deal DMG while Jane Fights

This is a setup that allows Jane to continue dealing damage while on the field for a long time, using the "Afterburn" effect for follow-up attacks from behind. You can inflict Disorder multiple times with Burn while Jane is in play, and with Caesar's Shield you can provide buffs and reduce damage while Burnice is in battle.

Attack with Jane until Heat runs out

Once you have have the Shield and inflicted Scorched, use Jane's attack and Burnice's additional damage to deal as much damage as possible and inflict Disorder. Keep an eye on Burnice's remaining Heat and switch to Burnice just before it runs out to accumulate Heat again.

Sons of Calydon Disorder Team

			Bangboo
Burnice	Piper	Lucy	Red Moccus

Burnice and Piper's Disorder & Team Buff

This is a composition that combines Burnice and Piper's Disorder with Lucy's buff for the whole team. Lucy's buff also affects Burnice's "Afterburn" damage output, so you can effectively increase Burn damage.

Tips!	If you have C6 Lucy, you can accumulate Fire Attribute Anomaly and extend the Buff by using the boars that rain down while holding Piper or Burnice's EX Special Attack button.

Use Piper's Buff and Scorch

After activating Lucy's Buff and Burnice's follow-up attack damage, you can inflict Disorder with Piper's EX Special attack. Piper is more likely to run out of energy than Burnice, so if you have the energy, you can also hold Burnice's Basic attack button to apply Burn.

Recommended Characters

Character	Recommendation/Rating
Jane	Recommended Level - Additional Ability activated for both with the same Specialty -High damage & high Attribute Anomaly to inflict Disorder - Can support each other when not in battle
Piper	Recommended Level - Same faction, Additional Ability activated for both - Activate Disorder by quickly inflicting Assault - High Stun is also a plus
Caesar	Recommended Level - Same faction, Additional Ability activated for both - Damage increase and the Shield when entering battle is useful - Note that the ATK Buff is only active when in battle
Lucy	Recommendation Level - Same faction, Additional Ability activated for both - ATK Buff is effective even when not in battle - At C6, continuous follow-up attack during EX Special Attack
Grace	Recommended Level - Anomaly character that can activate Burnice's Additional Ability - Can inflict Disorder with high Attribute Anomaly of both characters.
Seth	Recommended Level - Uses Shield & Anomaly Mastery buff - When applied to Burnice, buff stays active even when not in battle - Additional Ability activation is the problem

Burnice, who is powerful when focused on inflicting Disorder, is a great match with Anomaly characters sucn as Jane. For support, it's best to have characters that provide buffs for the whole squad or those skilled in supporting Anomaly characters, including Burnice.

Recommended Bangboo

Bangboo	Recommendation/Rating
Red Moccus	Recommended Level - Additional Ability activated with 2 Calydon Factions - High Physical damage - Can also gather enemies
Rocketboo	Recommendation Level - Additional Ability activation with 2 Fire Attributes - Assist with Fire Attribute Anomaly
Cryboo	Recommendation Level - Additional Ability activated with 2 Fire Attributes - Assist with Fire Attribute Anomaly - Low rarity version of Rocketboo
Magnetiboo	Recommended Level - Additional Ability automatically activated with 1 Anomaly - Can also gather enemies

If you have to use two Fire characters in the Burnice Team Comp, we recommend Fire Attribute Anomaly-type Bangboos to focus on applying Disorder. Other possible candidates are Cryboo/Magnetiboo, who can gather enemies, or an Attribute Anomaly Bangboo that matches the Anomaly character you are using.

Best Mindscape Cinema for Burnice

Effect and Recommended Mindscape Cinema

C1 is Highly Recommended

The recommended Cinema for Burnice is C1, which enhances utility by increasing the Heat cap and boosts the damage/Burn effect of the Afterburn ability. While C2's constant PEN rate increase is also powerful, it's best to aim for C1 first, as it provides significant benefits to any team composition.

C2's PEN buff is particularly strong when stacked, so Burnice's value may increase with the introduction of future PEN supporters.

Prioritise Signature W-Engine over Cinema

Burnice's signature W-Engine, Flamemaker Shaker, helps recover scarce energy and triggers a damage buff even off-field. It allows for consistent and effortless buff maintenance, making it a top priority over increasing Cinemas for Burnice.
