Flame-Forged Insight Best Characters

Who is Flame-Forged Insight Good For?

Recommended Characters
Aino ImageAino Gaming ImageGaming Kaveh ImageKaveh
Dehya ImageDehya Dori ImageDori Sayu ImageSayu

Flame-Forged Insight is a best suited for Kaveh and Sayu, as it provides a significant boost in Elemental Mastery which both characters highly rely on. On top of this, Kaveh also enjoys the bonus elemental energy to Bloom reactions from the weapon's passive to increase his ult instances!

Best-in-Slot for Aino

Flame-Forged Insight is Aino’s Best-in-Slot weapon, providing up to 285 Elemental Mastery and restoring 24 flat Energy each rotation.
This makes her Burst much easier to maintain while boosting her reaction damage and overall team support.

Good Option for Reaction-Reliant Characters

Flame-Forged Insight is a good alternative to reaction-reliant characters like Dehya and Gaming, despite favoring other, better weapon alternatives. In niche teams where both characters are actively involved in Pyro-related reactions, additive EM points contribute to bigger DMG for your team!

Unique Choice for Lunar-Charged Teams

If you have Ineffa in your team, you can use Flame-Forged Insight on either Sayu, Beidou, or Dori, as each and one of these characters can contribute to triggering Lunar-Charged to take advantage of the claymore's passive.

As of now, these characters are the most viable to equip Flame-Forged Insight in Lunar-Charged teams due to the reaction's elemental restrictions.

Is it too late to get this weapon? I know the island is open but was it a limited event? I had taken a hiatus from basically all of Natlan
