Burnice Skill Kit & Playstyle Analysis
General Introduction
Burnice is a S Rank Fire Anomaly character that wants to spend her energy as much as possible using her EX Special Attack to inflict enemies with the Burn Attribute Anomaly Effect, dealing gradual and powerful Fire damage to enemies and enabling other characters to trigger Disorder on enemies for instant damage from Burn and trigger her Abloom effect.
Skill Analysis & Leveling Priority
 | Basic Attack: Deal 5 instances of Physical and Fire Damage to enemies. Enhanced Basic Attack: While in Nitro-Fuel Cocktail state, Hold Basic Attack to continuously fire at the enemies, dealing fire damage, the longer the hold, the longer the duration. Ending the hold will deal an instance of Fire damage to enemies and trigger an additional Afterburns instance without consuming Heat. Upon activation, this cost 20 Heat. This attack can be followed up with EX Special Attack to immediately trigger EX Special Attack. |
| Leveling Priority: High | |
| Basic Attack | |
| Reason: Burnice will use her basic attack a lot while she is on field to chain to her Special Attack combo, so players should level this up to optimize her damage output. | |
 | Special Attack: Deal Fire Damage to enemies. EX Special Attack: With enough energy, press Special Attack to continuously spray enemies with fire, dealing Fire Damage. Holding the button extends the skill’s duration while consuming energy. Enhanced EX Special Attack: If Burnice has Emberflow, activates this skill when she switches on field. After allies trigger 12 Afterburns, Burnice gains 1 Emberflow and consumes 1 Emberflow when switching on field to activate this skill and is considered a Quick Assist. While possessing Emberflow, the counter no longer increases. Consuming Emberflow clears the counter.Burnice plunges forwards and deals Physical and Fire damage to enemies, if the enemies are inflicted with Attribute Anomalies, Burnice triggers Abloom on the enemies, dealing extra damage.This skill gains the Fire Anomaly Buildup Increase buff from Burnice’s Additional Ability. |

 | Chain Attack: Deal Fire Damage to enemies. Can immediately follow up with EX Special Attack. Ultimate: Continuously Spray the enemies with fire, dealing Fire damage, recovering 50 Heat and trigger a Quick Assist. If another character switches in using Quick Assist, Burnice continues to spray fire. |

 | Core Skill: When Burnice expends Energy, she gains Heat based on how much Energy is consumed. When Burnice’s Heat is 50 and above, she enters the Nitro-Fuel Cocktail state.While in Nitro-Fuel Cocktail state, Burnice’s attacks inflict Scourged on enemies until she exits the state. When allies hit enemies inflicted with Scourged, triggers the Afterburn effect, expending 8 Heat from Burnice to deal Fire Damage to the enemy and increase Fire Anomaly Build Up. Afterburns damage is considered Quick Assist Damage and its damage is increased proportional to Burnice’s Anomaly Proficiency. Additional Ability: When another character in your squad is an Anomaly character or shares the same Faction:When Burnice’s Basic Attack EX Special Attack hits an enemy, or when the Afterburn effect is triggered, the move’s accumulated Fire Anomaly Buildup increases by 65%. When any squad member applies the Burn effect to an enemy, the duration of that effect is extended by 3s. Potential: When Burnice’s initial Energy Regen is greater than or equal to 1.8, every extra 0.1 points of initial Energy Regen increases Anomaly Mastery by 2.5 and DMG by 2%, up to a maximum increase of 25 Anomaly Mastery and 20% DMG. Core Passive: Nitro-Fuel Cocktail’s Afterburn interval is reduced to 1.35s. |

| Reason: Leveling this ability maximizes Burnice’s damage output, so players should prioritize leveling this up as soon as possible | |
Playstyle Guide & Rotation
Burnice’s playstyle revolves around her main gimmick: Heat, Afterburns and Abloom.
Burnice’s main gameplay revolves around her using her EX Special Attack to quickly expend her energy to gain Heat and inflicts Fire Attribute Anomaly effect on the enemies. The more Energy she uses, the more Heat Burnice will gain. Once she gains more than 50 Heat, she will enter the Nitro-Fuel Cocktail state, which allows her to apply the special Scourged effect on enemies.
When allies attack enemies with the Scourged effect, they will trigger the Afterburns effect on enemies, dealing Fire damage and increasing the enemies’ Fire Attribute Anomaly gauge, allowing Burnice to trigger the Burn Anomaly effect even when she is off field, helping to facilitate Disorder. Once 12 afterburns have been triggered, Burnice can instantly be switched onto the battlefield to deal more Fire Damage to enemies with her Enhanced EX Special Attack and trigger her Abloom effect, dealing more damage to enemies if they are currently under the Attribute Anomaly effect of any element.

Burnice Best Main Stats & Sub Stats
As an Anomaly character that wants to trigger Attribute Anomaly as frequently as possible, players should focus on Anomaly stats and Offensive Stats for Burnice. Additionally, due to how much Burnice wants Energy and how her new Potential effect works, players should also use an Energy Regen main stat disc for her.
Her preferred stats are as followed:
| Drive Disc | Main Stats |
| #4 | Anomaly Proficiency |
| #5 | Fire Damage Bonus% |
| #6 | Energy Regen% |
| Priority | Sub Stats |
| 1st | Anomaly Proficiency |
| 2nd | Attack% |
| 3rd | Pen Ratio |
Important Stat Threshold:
– As Burnice’s main gimmick revolves around attribute anomaly, players Do Not Need to invest in her critical stats.
– Invest in Burnice’s Attack stat as high as possible to boost her overall damage output and the Assault damage output as Attribute Anomalies scales off attack stats.
– Invest in Burnice’s Anomaly stats as much as possible for her to quickly trigger Burn and deal strong Anomaly damage.
– Since Burnice uses a lot of Energy while she is on field and with her Potential increasing her attack and Anomaly Mastery proportional to her Energy Regen, players should use an Energy Regen main stat #6 disc instead of Anomaly Mastery.
Burnice Best Teams

Burnice Disorder Team
