Flare Affinity is a Combat Flourish, updated in August 2024. It boosts the effectiveness of weapons with ability slot 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.
