Flare Affinity is a Combat Flourish, updated in August 2024. It boosts the effectiveness of weapons with ability slot flares or bane flares. Weapons with flare affinity will have their flares fire more often with more potency.
- The increased frequency is the same as Item Superchargers.
- The flare rate increase of the Flare Affinity Combat Flourish also works in conjunction with the flare rate increase of the Supercharger items and BOOST SUPERCHARGE login reward.
- Flare Affinity increases flare damage by 4 critical ranks.
- The increased potency causes all the flares to be rank 5-9 (before padding, resistance, randomization, etc).
- Flare Affinity will also increase the frequency and potency of a bane flare.
- It does not increase script flares.
- It does not increase material flares.
