Liu Assoc. South Section 4

At a Glance

An Identity for Burn teams that combines strong clashes with bonuses from Burn conditions. Her low Speed lets allies apply Burn before she attacks, enabling those bonuses from turn 1.

Core Mechanics

• Burn bonuses: S1 Red Kick gains +1 Coin Power if the target has at least 3 Burn, and S2 Frontal Assault at 6 or more (+1 per 3 and per 6 Burn respectively at higher Uptie, up to 2). S3 Inner Gate Elbow Strike deals +30%/50% damage if the target's Burn and Burn Count are both 6 or more.
• Slow Speed: Her Speed range is 3–6 at most. If faster allies apply Burn first, she can meet S2's condition (6 Burn) from her very first action.
• Burn Count: Coin Ⅲ of S2 inflicts 2 Burn Count if the target has at least 6 Burn. Coin Ⅲ of S3 increases Burn Count by 2 unconditionally, and the Defense skill Counter increases it by 1 on hit.
• Combat passive — Intense Blaze (3 Wrath Resonance; unlocked at Uptie Ⅱ): +10% Blunt damage per 3 Burn Count on the target, up to 30%. It grows with more allies who build Burn Count.
• S3's Coin Ⅳ: If the target is staggered or dead at the end of the attack, she gains 1 Plus Coin Boost next turn.

How to Use

Pair her with allies who can inflict Burn, and act after them to land S2. Add Burn Count with Coin Ⅲ of S2, increase it further with S3, and land S3 on enemies with 6 or more Burn and Burn Count to boost damage. Burn Count is hard to raise on her own, so build it across the whole team to aim for Intense Blaze's 30% cap.

• 
  Ardor Blossom Star: S1 (Lust), S2 (Wrath), and S3 (Envy) supply all required affinities, and all of her skills inflict Burn.
• 
  Capote: All of her skills inflict Burn, and she has a Wrath S2, making Wrath DMG Up easy to use.
