GUIDEMechanics and How to Use

At a Glance

A multi-target Lust Slash E.G.O used on enemies with built-up Burn to inflict Defense Level Down and raise physical damage (assumes Threadspin Ⅴ).

Core Mechanics

  • Defense Level Down: On hit, inflicts 5 Defense Level Down and converts every 2 Burn on the target into 1 Defense Level Down, up to 5. The total reaches up to 10 (5+5). The conversion cannot reduce the target's Burn below 1.
  • Damage from Burn: Before attacking, +5% damage for every 1 total Burn Potency on all targets and herself, up to 100%. It also inflicts 3 Burn on hit.
  • Multi-target: +1 Attack Weight at a highest Resonance of 4 or more, and +1 more at 6 or more. At Threadspin Ⅴ, it checks the highest Resonance of any affinity, not just Lust.
  • Passive — Flamebrand: Inflicts 1 Burn on Heads Hit with a Wrath or Lust skill, up to 6 times per turn. If the target's Burn is at maximum, it becomes 1 Defense Level Down instead. Using a Gluttony basic skill also adds 1 Gluttony resource.
  • Light requirements: 1 Lust, 2 Gluttony, and 1 Pride, and the Gluttony required on use is reduced by 1.

How to Use

  • In Burn teams, use it on an enemy with plenty of Burn. Using it before Burn builds up likely lowers the damage of the Burn-dependent attacks that follow.
  • Defense Level Down likely only affects allies' attacks on the turn it is used, so fire it before allies attack.
  • Its power is a fairly high 18–26, so it can also be used for Clashing without regard to Burn.

A practical guide based on the skill and passive descriptions below.(Updated: 2026-10-18)

ANALYSISThreadspin

  • Ⅱ: Unlocks the passive.
  • Ⅲ: +1 Attack Weight at a highest Lust Absolute Resonance of 4 or more. Adds Burn infliction to Awakening and Bind to Corrosion.
  • Ⅳ: Another +1 Attack Weight at 6 or more Lust Absolute Resonance. Burn infliction no longer requires Heads.
  • Ⅴ: Reduces the Gluttony requirement, removes the Lust condition from the Resonance check, and eases the Burn consumption. The passive also inflicts Defense Level Down. Threadspin Ⅴ is likely essential to use its effects.

  • Dawn Office Fixer: Her Pride S1 inflicts Burn, and her Wrath S3 triggers Flamebrand, while also supplying the required Pride.
  • LCE E.G.O:: Ardor Blossom Star: A Burn Identity with Wrath S3 and Pride S2, so she triggers Flamebrand and supplies Pride.
