The crazy lady of the "Sons of Calydon" faction holds not just one, but two flamethrowers. And she knows how to use them. But, while she does, we don't. So let's dive into her kit first!

Burnice's Kit

Burnice is the first Fire Anomaly character to be released in ZZZ, and she will take the role of an off-field DPS. No buffing or shielding from her, just pure, unadulterated burn damage.

She uses her EX Special Attack to enter the Nitro-Fuel Cocktail state. When in the Nitro-Fuel Cocktail state, her basic attacks deal fire DMG and all hit enemies gain the "scorched" effect.

When other party members hit enemies with the "scorched" effect, it triggers "afterburn" using 8 Heat and deals Fire DMG equal to 290% of Burnice's ATK and buildup.

W-Engines, drive set & party members

In terms of W-Engines, we expect Rainforest Gourmet, Roaring Ride and, of course, her signature weapon Flamemaker Shaker to be her best options.

The drive set that will work best is the one that released alongside Caesar: Chaos Jazz. As a 4-piece set, it will give the wearer +30 Anomaly Proficiency, +15% Fire DMG and +20% EX Special Attack and Assist Attack DMG. A perfect fit!

Party members that will likely work best for her are members of the "Sons of Calydon" faction or other Anomaly characters. This means that Caesar King, Lucy, Piper, Grace, and Jane Doe are great matches for her.

As for her banner: she will be released October 16, 2024. Keep your pulls ready!

So, will you be pulling for Burnice? Or would you rather save your Polychromes for someone else?
