Flare Gameplay and Playstyle
Flare is a Fire-type ranged Destroyer who excels at filling enemy Stagger Gauges quickly while applying team debuffs, and can also act as a Sub DPS. Her gameplay revolves around creating Blaze Zones through her Basic Attacks, swapping in to break or stagger enemies, and can swap out and let her teammates fight while the enemies are debuffed.
Blaze Zones are created when Flare's attacks hits, dealing Fire DMG over time to enemies that stay inside the zone. Going inside her own Blaze Zones also activates her signature artifact's Inscribed Flamestone buff, boosting her Neutralization DMG and ATK.
Through her Ultimate Skill and Switch Skill, she applies Fire Affliction and DEF decrease to enemies, also reducing their Fire RES and making them take more damage from the team. Her Ultimate Skill also summons a Fire Dragon that enters Dragon's Ambush mode, continuously damaging enemies and applying Dragon's Mark, which further decreases enemy DEF.
What makes Flare so good is herflexibility. As a Destroyer, she fills the Stagger Gauge faster than most other destroyer character and she's also an AoE attacker which can handle many enemies that is normally left to the Main DPS. This flexibility opens up an extra team slot for a Support or even another DPS when used correctly, making her one of the most valuable characters to build.

Flare Skill Upgrade Priority
| Priority | Skills |
| 1st | Ultimate Skill |
| 2nd | Special Skill |
| 3rd | Switch Skill |
| 4th | Basic Attack |
The Ultimate Skill should be upgraded first since it's where Flare's debuff comes from, it applies Fire Affliction and DEF decrease to enemies. The stronger it gets, the more the team benefits on those debuffs. Next is the Special Skill, as it's her main source of personal damage and Stagger Gauge fill. After that is the Switch Skill since it plays a key role in the swap-out rotation that amplifies Fire-type teammates. Basic Attack can be left for last because even though it still creates Blaze Zones, it's damage scaling is still the weakest out of all four skills.
