I can see that skill 3 being so useful. It's range is odd but unlimited high damage artillery from long range? Count me in. Just remember to wisely use your deployment order and she can push out some serious AoE. Best part is she isn't limited

[@slonik0002]

It’s super fun and I really want her, but that long range can also end up being a double edged sword. Ranged tiles aren’t as versatile as melee tiles are, and since hitting the bullseye increases dps more than being above 80%, there will be lots of stages where it’s hard to use her.

[@beafle2180]

From what i can tell she shines in stages where u can hold a choke point and she's able to land bullseyes

With how she shoots infinitely with her weapon, pretty sure she already dug a deep hole beneath the surface.

[@SeekGrace]

Honestly I can see her being really useful on annihilation stages specifically.

[@VW5318]

On the one hand, delicious spawn camping. On the other hand, I somehow feel like HG gave her to us as a warning that they'll implement even more annoying anti-spawn-camp mechanics than even the jet-pack weirdoes or the darkness mechanic from Near Light. Mark my words. They'll find something obnoxious. Leaving all that aside, her damage is genuinely impressive, and I can genuinely say that she'd be ridiculous in several old annihilation maps, and likely many future ones to come. Hell, with a few other ops, I think she'd do really well in the annihilation that's out now in CN. I'm not sure how long the boss stays in the same general area, but if it's long enough, even phase 2 won't really save her. There was also that prison-break anni too where the one dude with too many names and moonwalking stuck around in one spot for quite a while...

[@3takoyakis]

yeah, putting her together with chalter would at least cover 5x3 area FULL AOE im afraid they would put anti shockwave anytime soon that works like BC so 1 enemy absorb and tank all that AOE so it wont harm others i mean they put anti surtr on most stages by making it long path for boss, or high res or simply nullify her by stun or insta retreat

[@justinrazon7200]

TL;DR - Fiammetta is looking amazing in terms of pure consistent damage output. The new Thorns unit has arrived. Will she be useable literally everywhere like Thorns? No, Thorns still has that versatility of being deployable on 99.99% of the maps in the game but what she does have is the other thing that make Thorns broken, ultra consistent high damage that comes from an infinite duration skill which requires zero maintenance and/or baby sitting. Hers is even better than Thorns since you don't have to activate it twice and it only takes 15 attacks to charge, Thorns also takes 15 attacks but again you'd have to activate his S3 twice. Obviously one downside her S3 has is the range where some (I'm already guessing it would only be a very small number) of maps will make her unusable due to placement. But if you can place her and have her hit something, she will almost always be a Go-To pick. Yes even in non-crowd control or swarmy maps. Let's look at some numbers. Just raw numbers, E2 Max Level Pot 1 + Module 1009 Atk - Fiammetta 1066 Atk - W 987 Atk - Meteorite Put Meteorite in there for those who don't have W for comparison. She has average attack which is good, not great but not bad either. She also has +27 aspd from her Talent 2 while her skill isn't active so she still does beat W in terms of just regular pew pew damage and helps you get that S3 up faster. On top of having a Vigor effect (which should stack with Skadi's Inspire) if you choose to keep her at full hp for a whopping +50% atk putting her at 1513 Atk. But the real fun starts when her S3 is up. She loses the +27 aspd in exchange for quite frankly ludicrous damage. She becomes a sort of reverse caster in terms of range where she won't hit anything within caster range, but anything within that 3x3 box of her range will literally feel a rain of hell. She does 2.2x damage to targets in the center tile (and a very small aoe around that center tile) and 1.25x damage to everything else. With Vigor 1513x1.25 = 1891 | Min 1513x2.20 = 3329 | Max This is 652-1189 damage per second. Consistent damage per second. On a single target. Without Vigor she goes down to 450-793 dps. Thorns is at around 1379 dps already including poison. The fact that she can even come near Thorn's dps when she has vigor up (which shouldn't be hard to maintain) is honestly crazy given the fact that she has a 3x3 tile AOE. As seen on 777ucky's video, she destroys swam maps but against single target she still deals quite respectable damage. Her dps still needs to be tested out vs very high defense enemies where Thorns falls off a bit but in theory she should do better than Thorns against those even with Thorns' always active 125 dps poison. Again, needs testing. If you can keep something within the center tile of her range, that will put her to a fixed 1189 dps which is premium damage. (shouldn't be too hard, you can just position the center in front of a defender) It's a bit hard to get W's dps with S2 since it's very bursty and less consistent than Thorns and W but she should be around 656 dps. This is not low numbers for W. The DPS of the 2 are just that crazy. Oh and just to throw it out there, Blaze has 1375 dps just for the kicks. I'm not going to compare her to something like Sniper Chen as her skill is active and extremely bursty. Chen, Surtr, Eyja, Silverash, Schwarz all burst units that have insane dps in a small window. Fiammetta is not that. She is a unit that will deal consistent high damage for the entire duration of her deployment (not including charge time) which are the same strengths that make Thorns and Blaze extremely strong units. Her range honestly shouldn't be a problem. She's a unit that nukes choke points. You're not going to position her on a spot where she won't hit anything, trust me you guys are smarter than that I'm sure. She's the only unit imo that is worth chasing despite being a standard banner unit. As an endgame player and a partial dolphin spender, I purely pull on limited banners as standard banner units can always spook you in the long run but she is so good that she's worth breaking that rule. Disclaimer: All of these doesn't factor in enemy defense and other variables. Just raw numbers and calculated in damage per second not damage per hit, she does extremely high damage per hit. Use this information as you see fit.

[@slonik0002]

As much as I appreciate the analysis, I don't think she'll be as good as you say. The bullseye offers more dps than Vigor does, so if you're unable to place most of the enemies there the DPS does drop a large amount - and that might be a lot more than you realize, considering how limiting ranged tiles are to melee ones. She definitely can't solo maps like Big 4 as without a healer and/or bullseye her DPS is pretty bad like you've showed, but is a good source of additional laneholding damage in a large AOE like Mizuki (who offers similar DPS if you're not hitting the bullseye, and punches through armour better). Although even though Mizuki is more versatile I'd still rank Fiammetta higher than him thanks to her higher DPS potential, just somewhat below the average.

I was curious how Vigor would interact with her skill multipliers, like if they would come before or after since they're not Atk% but just Dmg multipliers. After seeing her damage on the Heavy Defender Leader, I can safely say that Vigor is applied first since 3,445.2 is the number I got mathing it out and she dealt 2,545, which would be their 1k Def - 100 from her Module.
