Do note that the buff from Okinaga's flame vent lasts only about 6 seconds, while the buff from the lazulite sacred flame lasts almost 20 seconds and allows you to deal chip damage to blocking enemies (as of patch 1.03)

note that is you use the flame vent to coat your sword, it will replace the divine confetti you applied beforehand. Same is true with the Purple shield, it overrides the confetti's effects.

[@maximovenancio6523]

I use this every time my divine confetti runs out. Plus the malcontent headless won't stand a chance.

[@InSamniac777]

@@tibberstehpup7116 it's been two weeks so I don't know if you've already found out but it's through a skill called 'Living Force' it is at the end of the Prosthetic Arts tree. So it costs quite a bit to get to but by the time you do, you will most definitely have at least the first iteration of flame vent. Just press the attack button after using the flame vent to coat your blade.

[@mrorlov2706]

So basically lazulite flame + living force is a way to get divine confetti buff anytime you need for spirit emblems. Looks worth it to me.

[@ToutaxRathalos]

i do love putting my blade on fire tho xD

[@DGneoseeker1]

Flame vent in every video I see: Super effective. Flame vent when I use it: Does bugger all.

[@3DThird]

I just checked this and in fact the total damage of the lazu vent is higher than the okinaga vent even when you factor in the burning effect. Tested on Ministry soliders The only time both deal exactly the same damage is when you apply oil for the okinaga vent for the initial strike to become more powerful(still not as strong as lazu vent. The total damage for the initial strike plus the burning effect will deal the same damage dealt by lazu vent making it the best for general use. For enemiez who are afraid of fire you should still use the okinaga vent for the stun effect in which you can deal more total damage by doing extra hits

[@borischan5252]

maybe it's due to the patch. Any test of fire vs divine coding on R1?

[@Rhino1004]

Fascinating! However, the BIG question is, what about Living Force? Will using regular flames deal more damage than lazulite flames against Ministry Soldiers?

[@testone6588]

Have you tested it on other mobs? I have a feeling that ministry soldiers are resistant to fire

[@3DThird]

@@testone6588 So I did more tests: 1- Monk: Lazu - dies with one charged atk Okinaga - ~20% health remains 2- Purple ninja Lazu - 5 charged atk to kill Okinaga - 6 charged atk to kill 3- dual sword monkey Lazu - does 15% total health dmg Okiaga - does 25% total health dmg witb burning status effect So it turns out that some enemies are indeed weaker to fire. Will keep testing and share my findings Note: all of these tests were done in NG+1

[@davidpoulton8592]

I've also found that if you back a difficult enemy up to a ledge and hit them with a charged flame vent they can be thrown off the ledge.

[@belmontofastora3665]

It's interesting looking at the tools people like to use. I don't see many people say they use the shuriken most, which is my go to tool. I love that fact that you can follow the shuriken toss with an attack to quickly close gaps and keep pressure.

It's one of my favorites after flame vent too.

[@HalcaeonArt]

After the patch, the Living Flame buff on the Lazulite Sacred Flame upgrade lasts 20 seconds now instead of the previous 7 I'm too biased towards the purple fires that I didn't think to test the other flame vents if they got the same duration buff, but I read elsewhere that only the Lazulite Flame got the buff and the others still lasts the standard 7

[@ibraXimo2]

U joined KZbin at 2008 wow

[@Sotanaht01]

Worth noting that almost any enemy that is set on fire becomes stunned. Unlike with the Firecrackers, this stun will last more than one hit on human enemies, allowing you to do considerable followup damage. Using the flaming sword buff followup attack and then setting the enemy on fire with a sword swing instead of the flame vent itself allows you to do the most damage possible during this window. Note that even if your attacks are blocked or parried, they still do fire damage and inflict burning.

[@swift9415]

I abused the hell out of this tool on my first run and my first run without Kuro's charm. I've gotten better but I still love it. Such a satisfying weapon.

[@charchan3634]

Dammit fextra. The only boss that hasnt been (fully)ruined by thumbnails, Demon of Hatred, has now been ruined. Thanks

Living Force stacks with Sugars! If you want to decimate a Headless instantly stack the Sacred Flame with an Ako's or Yashiriku's Sugar. Nice tip on how Burn damage nulls Posture recovery!

[@bval6478]

You didn’t tell us what’s the best option out of the upgrades like you normally do tho

[@Oxtrooo]

Well with this one it's kinda clear that they all have a certian function to fill. Be smart and use them in diffrent situations to find what works best for you

[@gaaalavant]

Sounds like basically Okinaga's is the best for normal enemies since it causes burn, but lazulite is best if you're fighting ghosts.

[@MrAlbinoGhost]

@@gaaalavant Yeah, barring lazulite, each is a direct upgrade over the last at least in terms of options.

[@ronwisegamgee]

@@gaaalavant If you're going to be fighting apparitions, you're better off with Malcontent (vs. Headless), Phoenix Lilac's Umbrella (vs. Shichimen Warrior), or Penetrating Sabimaru (vs. O'Rin of the Water) and stick with Divine Confetti for the sword buff.

[@MatthewTheUntitled]

Flame vent is the best prosthetic in his opinion, each upgrade does great at what it's supposed to do

[@Tybear-qz4bx]

If you actually read the description of what the upgrade and tried it I'm sure you could of figured that out without this beautiful well done guide.

[@Yescek]

Ya'll planning on doing one of these for the skills as well? I'm pretty sure a lotta folk will probably ultimately only ever stick with Ichimonji and it's upgrade, but I'm finding One Mind to be pretty sick. If you can stun your enemy with the slash-orb, even if they block the follow up they'll take an absolutely chunk of vitality damage, and their posture will be filled nearly as much as with Ichimonji.

[@pendexion2995]

Bro I’m never leaving mortal blade, probably

[@lagideath]

Is there knowledge on the fire damage multiplier of oil? I presume it's something like 1,5 but I'm completely unsure.

[@RitsuCurisu]

Spring load flame vent is divine. The buildup and range is so much greater than the base version that you can charge it up safely and it immediately puts Burn on most enemies. If not, then just put some oil on them first. I found it especially effective against lone shadows and samurai bosses.

[@syckray]

Those are not bosses lmao get gud

[@falcedacciaio]

You forgot to mention that the effect of fire and divine confetti given to the sword apply to the sword skills and for example you can deal damage to the Guardian Ape with the dragon slash from afar or just multiple fire slash to a burning enemy

[@CowboyCookhouse]

I totally forgot about the bell lol. Much appreciated man

[@khalid4718]

my favorite tool in the game and its amazing with living force skill i use it all the time XD i just want them to make the buff last longer like the demo

[@LizdardKing86]

You can also combine the living force skill with the sabimaru and apply both burn and poison at the same time

[@Alopllop]

[@anoobis8674]

Very well explained! Thank you so much

[@Max-ii7dc]

Lazulite flame is amazing for the corrupted monk apparition.

[@martinhall9497]

Also worth noting is that the flame vent pairs really well with chaining a sword swing after the initial blast. If you have the Perk that allows you to coat your sword with the prosthetics element, you can get a ton of burn mileage out of the vent. Plus if you coat your sword with the blue flame, it has the exact same effect as divine confetti.

[@alixhuether8543]

huh didnt realize spring loaded flame vent was so much better. only ever used the base because i only needed that first blast didnt even realize 1 that it did more damage 2 how cool the charge attack is, it looks like it kicks ass

[@rickjohnson3171]

Living force SITUATIONAL?! Are you insane? Living force DESTROYS nearly ALL minibosses and can be a great help to some main bosses.

[@gabzdark07]

Prove it.

[@judoshrew]

@@gabzdark07 So living force is really broken. Okinaga flame vent does slightly more burn damage than other flame vents, and so when combined with oil there is a tendency to immediately get burn and then with living flame you can get a secondary burn out of enemies. This means you are dealing flamevent damage, burn damage, oil burn damage, plus room for several buffed sword hits with the two stuns you get. The result is that you can make a joke out of 3 phase genichiro by using like... 9 emblems. And this works on like every boss. Also, if you don't want to use oil, the living force can give you just enough pressure to get the burn status effect without any more spirit emblem cost, because flame attacks go through guard, so you get free damage, extra posture damage, and that fire status procts through guard. You pretty much always use living flame with normal dragons breath rather than the charged up flame. Charged flame blast pushes you too far away to get hits with your newly buffed sword, so you don't get as much out of it. The real strategic benefit is that it opens bosses up to high amounts of damage (up to like 50% or more on some bosses) at the beginning of a fight and prevents posture recovery, so posture damage done early doesn't recover and by the time you are done all your combo damage from relentlessly attacking, they are at low enough health that they don't have the ability to recover posture.

[@KittyPittyMeowmeow]

@@gabzdark07 Look online for Living Force posts. If you get it early (pre-Owl), you will find that it decimates almost every boss and mini-boss from that point on.

[@gabzdark07]

@@judoshrew I only just saw this, thanks for the detailed explanation.

I’m too lazy to go back through the video but I don’t think this was mentioned, the living force buff you get from the Lazulite Sacred Flame last a lot longer than the one for Okinagas Flame Vent, so when picking which one to use, keep in mind that Lazulite Sacred Flame gives a longer lasting buff

How about the damage of the red fire and the blue fire when you channel them to the sword? Are they the same to normal enemies (25% increase)? The duration of the flame seem to be buffed too so I think it is a good skill to use now.

[@Games4Days912]

Okignaga is super OP when you hit them with the flame blast R2 and follow up with a R1. Bc it usually will light them up as well. So you get the initial blast damage the R1 damage and follow up fire sword damage. It melts people. Pun not intended.

[@interconnectiveOM]

RIGHTEOUS!!! Sacred Flame time! great work Fextralife! I was always wondering if the sacred flame = divine confetti. I was hoping it would be so, but i didn't know for sure till now. This is great news (here i come NG+ headless). i didn't know enemies had a status effect bar but that makes so much sense, thanks for adding that in there, learned something new. :] If they continue to do changes/patches to the game, is there any way we could look forward to seeing a break down of patch notes on your channel?

[@okeowoaderemi]

[@Edgydreamerr]

When you get to that point in game for Lazulite upgrades almost or all the appertation type enemies were dead for me so its kinda point less. Also it costs too much spirit emblems and so divine conffeti isn’t that rare and there is a farming spot for it and at the end game you can buy it from merchants.
