Flames Afar is a great Light Cone for Destruction characters that consume HP like Blade. This provides them with a Max HP heal and a hefty DMG boost for 2 turns upon consuming their HP or after getting hit.

Is Flames Afar Worth It?

Great F2P Light Cone for Blade

Flames Afar gives a big DMG boost for 2 turns if the wearer consumes 25% of their Max HP. This is great for Destruction characters with abilities that consume their HP such as Blade. The Max HP heal is nice to have as well and can help restore some of the HP lost.

\while indelible promise is better for firefly, this is worth mentioning as her hp consummation is just right to use the buff, and it being a grindable light cone makes it her most readily accessible 4 star option.
