Burnice Best Teams and Bangboo

Burnice Disorder Team

Burnice Disorder Team			Bangboo
Burnice Anomaly	Yanagi Anomaly	Caesar Defense	Red Moccus
Bangboo Alternatives		• Magnetiboo • Baddieboo

Burnice can work superbly with another Anomaly unit of a different element. Burnice can inflict Burn on an enemy while the other Anomaly unit inflicts their own Attribute Anomaly to deal Disorder DMG.

Burnice Mono-Fire Team

Burnice Mono-Fire Team			Bangboo
Burnice Anomaly	Soldier 11 Attack	Lucy Support	Rocketboo
Bangboo Alternatives		• Cryboo • Red Moccus

Burnice can also be used on a Mono-Fire team if Lucy is on the team. Most of Burnice's DMG remain off-field, so her attacks can coincide with your Main DPS unit.

Burnice's easy Burn application can increase the CRIT Rate buff uptime of DPS units with the Inferno Metal equipped.

Burnice Best W-Engines

Recommended W-Engines

These W-Engines are rated based on their performance at Update Level 0.

	W-Engine	Effect
1	Flamemaker Shaker	Fuel on the Rocks While off-field, the equipper's Energy Regen increases by 0.6/s. Hitting an enemy with an EX Special Attack or Assist Attack, the equipper's DMG increases by 3.5%, max 10 stacks lasting for 6s, triggering once every 0.3s. While off-field, the stack effect is doubled and repeated triggers reset the duration. Once DMG increase is in effect, if current stacks are greater than or equal to 5, Anomaly Proficiency increases by 50. This does not stack and lasts for 6s.
2	Electro-Lip Gloss	Kiss of Death When there are enemies inflicted with Attribute Anomaly on the field, the equipper's ATK increases by 10% and they deal an additional 15% more DMG to the target.
3	Roaring Ride	Collision Potential When EX Special Attack hits an enemy, one of three possible effects is randomly triggered for 5 seconds. This effect can trigger once every 0.3s. The same types of effects cannot stack. Repeated triggers reset the duration, allowing several effects to be active at once: increases the equipper's ATK by 8%, increases the equipper's Anomaly Proficiency by 40, or increases the equipper's Anomaly Buildup Rate by 25%.
4	Rainforest Gourmet	Dinner's Ready! For every 10 energy consumed, the equipper gains a buff that increases ATK by 2.5% for 10s, stacking up to 10 times. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.
5	Weeping Gemini	Lingering Cries Whenever a squad member inflicts an Attribute Anomaly on an enemy, the equipper gains a buff that increases Anomaly Proficiency by 30, stacking up to 4 times. This effect expires when the target recovers from Stun or is defeated. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.

All W-Engine (Weapon) Guides

Flamemaker Shaker is the Best for Burnice

Flamemaker Shaker is Burnice's best W-Engine since it increases her Energy Regen and DMG when she's off the field. You can also use any W-Engine that provides ATK or Anomaly Proficiency.

Burnice Best Drive Discs

Best Drive Discs and Set Bonuses

Drive Disc	Rating and Merits
Chaos Jazz (4-pc) Inferno Metal (2-pc)	★★★ - Best Set! Chaos Jazz is the best Drive Disc for Burnice since it increases her DMG dealt when she's off-field. Inferno Metal is Burnice's best 2-piece to increase her Fire DMG!
Chaos Jazz (4-pc) Swing Jazz (2-pc)	★★☆ - 2nd Best A 2-piece Swing Jazz is a great choice for Burnice because she needs the Energy Regen for consistent EX Special Attack usage.
Chaos Jazz (4-pc) Freedom Blues (2-pc)	★☆☆ - 3rd Best A 2-piece Freedom Blues will be a good two-piece since it provides Anomaly Proficiency, increasing Burnice's Burn DMG.

Burnice Skill Priority

Skill	Priority	Explanation
Core Skill	★★★★★	It's important to upgrade the Core Skill first since it increases Burnice's Anomaly Buildup and Afterburn DMG.
Basic Attack	★★★★☆	Upgrade Burnice's Basic Attack after her Core Skill since you will use it to consume Heat.
Dodge	★★☆☆☆	Burnice won't be on the field for the most part. This means you can save her Dodge for last.
Assist	★★★★☆	Burnice's Assist Follow-up will be used often in tandem with her Special Attack.
Special Attack	★★★★★	Prioritize Burnice's Special Attack along with the Core Skill since you will use this the most when she is on the field.
Chain Attack	★★★★☆	Burnice's Ultimate can be prioritized especially if the enemy you're up against is weak to Fire.

Burnice's Core Skill is a top priority since this will increase her Anomaly Buildup and Afterburn DMG. Afterwards, focus on the rest of her kit and save her Dodge for last.

How to Play Burnice

How to Play Burnice

1. Trigger Nitro-Fuel Cocktail State
2. Apply Burning Effect onto Target

Trigger Nitro-Fuel Cocktail State

When starting a fight, use Burnice on-field to damage enemies and apply Fire Anomaly on them to trigger Burn and build up Heat.

Burnice's bread and butter is her Nitro-Fuel Cocktail Core Passive, and is important to Burnice's off-field Burn application, so focus on stacking up this passive first.

▲ Return to All Abilities ▲

Apply Scorched Effect onto Target

When Burnice reaches enough Heat, it triggers her Core Passive, letting her enter the Nitro-Fuel Cocktail state and allowing her attacks to inflict Scorched onto enemies.

In the Scorched state, enemies can be hit by any character to trigger Afterburn, dealing extra Fire damage to them.

Deals Damage Off-Field

When enough enemies are Scorched, they are then free to swap off of Burnice onto another on-field character to continue the fight.

Since Afterburn will be continuously triggered by your on-field character, Burnice can still contribute to the fight even off-field.
