Spreading Flames DPS

Overview

The Spreading Flames build leverages fire’s unique burning mechanic to deal massive AoE damage over time. Burning stacks spread to all enemies, creating exponential damage scaling in multi-enemy fights. This is one of the most beginner-friendly builds while still being competitive at high levels.

Core Skills (Priority Order)

1. Blaze (Common) - Unlocks fire attacks that apply burning stacks.
2. Spreading Flames (Legendary, S) - THE build-defining skill. Burns spread to other enemies.
3. Burning Expert (Legendary, A) - Increases burning damage significantly.
4. Flashfire (Mythic, S) - Enhanced burning damage scaling.
5. Wildfire (Mythic, S) - Burns never expire! Permanent stacking damage.
6. Fire Expertise (Mythic, S+) - +15% fire damage. Requires 5 fire tags.
7. Flame Magic (Legendary) - Fire magic synergy for extra damage.

Supporting Skills

• Boost ATK (Common) - Increases base damage which scales burning.
• Boost Damage to Burning (Common) - Direct multiplier on burning enemies.
• Pyric Arcflare (Legendary) - If you have arcflare, this adds fire synergy.

Strategy Tips

• This build ramps up over time. The longer the fight, the stronger you get.
• Spreading Flames is the #1 priority after basic fire. Without it, fire is a single-target build.
• Wildfire (burns never expire) is what makes this build truly top-tier. It turns every fight into a ticking time bomb.
• In boss fights, burning stacks accumulate rapidly for massive damage.

Tier Rating: S

Extremely strong in all AoE content. Slightly below S+ only because single-target DPS can be outpaced by Bolt builds in short fights.
