Meet Lilina who is super squeaky, cute and deadly. Last time I compared her to Linde, who has a lot of attack and speed, and while Lilina has the highest red attack of all red mages tied with Sanaki she struggles with speed. Though I shouldn’t really say tied with Sanaki, as her new weapon, Forblaze lets her decimate foes by burning their skin off and then cranking the temperature up even more. Is this enough to make up for her speed? Sometimes is thebest answer, basically most of those veggie coloured units won’t live, but anything blue with moderate resistance will put up a fight.
I’m going to skip over bolganone, its an outdated pasta dish thanks to Forblaze, which comes with a built in chill res, which inflicts -7 res on the foe with the highest res, and incredibily amazing weapon passive especially considering when refine it gets DEATH BLOW 3 This means with her weapon alone she can hit 57 with no +atk iv, thats 60 with a +atk iv and you’re removing 7 res on a high res ally? You see why this is slightly overkill. Growing flame is well too long and not that good of a special to begin with. Atk+3 is a lovely budget skill all things considered, finally keeping the attack theme spur attack is a nice skill to support the team.
If looking for budget B slots, desperation with a brash assault seal can be used, while breaker skills like sword breaker are the next best bet.
+Attack on attack on attack action
+Pretty budget friendly thanks to desperation brash assault combo
+Decent res as well gives her 66 magical bulk at base.
-Literally just stopped appearing a s a 5 star
-Her speed and defence leave a lot to be desired
-Chills are unpredictable
Green mages. Like Lilina maybe a nuke but she struggles vs blues and her magic bulk won’t save her from Reinhardt. She really needs that support, but the green mages will enjoy her chill res passive. Sonya, Julia, Deirdre ad Nino are all examples of Mages good at this.
Lilina’s thoroughly cooked, home made, chicken
Suggested ivs: +atk -def/spd
Forblaze, ardent sacrifice, glimmer
Slot C = Ploy skills or any c slot
Sacred seals: Brash assault
Weapon refinery: death blow, we got a dad to roast
Pretty standard set here, basically you rely on the massive attack stat to bypass enemy defences. Glimmer is used because to be frank unless they are blue you will be doing about 20-30 damage at least probably a lot more but you can massively multiply your damage. Death blow maximises your attack stat while Fury offers an easy way into desperation/brash assault range. But also if you wanted to use a ploy puts you at 34 res. Oh I should mention, you want to get into brash assault rather quickly, as that’s when she can fire off multiple massive damage fireballs of doom.
Suggested ivs: +Atk/spd -def
Forblaze, reposition, Glimmer/Draconic aura
Slot B = Chill speed/sword breaker
Slot C = speed ploy/Any C skill
Sacred seals: heavy blade
Weapon refinery = Death blow
This is a slightly more supportive set but better if you can afford it, like Soren, she can run two chills at anyone time. This combined with chill speed and her weapon means she can remove her bad speed somewhat but also increase her damage output. However you can use speed ploy and in conjunction with sword breaker kills every neutral non blue unit in the game. Glimmer is the best special as with heavy blade it procs in two hits and Lilina won’t normally want to take a hit back but if you find you use her more for baiting draconic aura offers the same results at the end of the day.
