Even at rest, it is as dangerous as a sleeping volcano. Its magma-flowing body requires frequent fuel, and it occasionally tosses uneaten food into the volcano on its head to burn away.

Summary
Flame Ape is a Fire-type physical attacker with extremely high Physical Attack (162) and decent dual defense, but slow Speed (60). Its trait [Heat Dissipation] restores energy when allies use Fire-type skills, suitable for late-game cleanup or paired with Fire-type teammates. Core mechanics revolve around [Burn] marks and skill power growth, featuring powerful skills like [Fire Bellow] for permanent damage increase, [Warm-up] for burst doubling, and [Flash Ignition] for 4x status suppression.
Burn Burst Build
Playstyle
Late startup, use teammate or self's 【Scorching Brand】 to inflict Burn, 【Warm-up】 + 【Flash Burn】 for 4x or even 8x burst, 【Fire Blowing】 to clean up and grow infinitely
Why this set works
Start Burn with [Searing Brand], [Flash Burn] for 4x burst against Burned state, [Warm-up] further doubles power, [Fire Blow] as sustainable growth cleanup and sustain damage. Covers startup, burst, and growth functions.
Fire Blow
Why pick this skill
Core damage skill. Power permanently +20 each use. Infinite growth. Combined with trait energy recovery, can sustain stacking.
Burning Brand
Why pick this skill
0 Energy startup technique, dispels both sides' marks and stacks Burn on enemy, creating status conditions for [Flash Ignition][Full Combustion]
Flash Ignition
Why pick this skill
4× power against status-afflicted targets. Combined with Burn from [Scorching Brand] can deal extremely high burst, flexible 40 energy cost.
Warm-up
Why pick this skill
0 Energy: Burst amplification, next attack power doubled (4x when countering Defense), combined with [Flash Burn] or [Fire Blow] to deal extreme damage.
Speed Attack Buff Build
Playstyle
Open with [Rage] for enhancement, choose [First Strike] for speed contest or [Fire Breath] for direct damage based on speed, use [Full Combustion] with teammates' Burn to supplement damage, extreme offensive suppression.
Why this set works
【Rage】maximizes Physical Attack, 【Fire Breath】and 【Preemptive Strike】serve as dual offensive skills for different Speed tiers, while 【Full Combustion】works with Burn teammates to quickly generate damage. Forgoes setup skills, relying on teammates to apply Burn or pure stat advantage.
Fire Blow
Why pick this skill
Core scaling damage skill. Infinitely stacking power, extremely high damage in the late game.
First Strike
Why pick this skill
+1 priority compensates for Speed disadvantage, 55 Energy cost is controllable, used for HP race or cleanup.
Rage
Why pick this skill
0 Energy massively boosts both ATK by 120%. Though sacrificing 40% both DEF, combined with high base Physical ATK to quickly crush opponents.
Complete Combustion
Why pick this skill
Doubles Burn and triggers damage. Combined with teammate or self Burn to quickly lower health. 0 energy cost, highly efficient.
Notes
- The trait [Heat Dissipation] requires teammate coordination; energy management is tight when alone.
- Speed 60 is somewhat slow, relying on [First Strike] to seize initiative or counterattack on the back foot
- 【Burning Brand】is core Burn setup skill, but will dispel both sides' marks, need to pay attention to timing
- 【Rage】double-edged effect, suitable for fast attack but survival decreases
- 【Fire Blowing】can stack infinitely, growing stronger in later stages.
