Flamerion

Technology at its best: Flamerion consists of a molten lava core contained in a self-refrigerating capsule designed to hold the heat without melting. The fire in the core is managed and deployed through a system of weapons that make Flamerion a killing machine.

Role: Attacker

Overview
Arguably the BEST Artifact in the game, this machine will destroy almost everyone in his way. Though his Stamina costs and cooldowns make that really questionable... He specializes in making his foes weak to Fire and utterly destroying them with his heavy-hitting Fire-based skills.

Pros:
 * Has the Artifact trait, meaning he's immune to conventional deny tactics like Stun, Freeze and Possession.
 * Despite being a Metal monster, Flamerion has Fire-based attacks, meaning he's useful in Metal wars.
 * AoE 40 Fire dmg + Fire Weakness. The Fire Weakness basically makes his plentiful Fire-based skills hit like a ten-ton truck.
 * AoE 40 Special dmg + Burn, which may not seem much, but we'll get to that in the Cons.
 * Single 80 Fire dmg, which hits absurdly hard after Flamerion applies Fire Weakness.
 * Single Burn + Ignite + Bleed, which takes away 45% Health each turn! Though after the 2nd turn the Ignite will run out, making it drain 25% Health each turn instead. This makes him a nightmare to Tanks, as Torture effects deal percentage based damage, bypassing their high Health.
 * CDDA move + extra-turn. Though that doesn't patch up one of his Cons...
 * Well-rounded stats, though his Life stat is kinda lacking in the meta.

Cons:
 * 'Flamerion's best skills are Fire-based, meaning he's near useless against Fire monsters...' is what I would say if he didn't have access to Fire Weakness. With his plentiful Fire-based moves, he can abuse Fire Weakness to the fullest. But if the Fire Weakness misses, then it's a Con.
 * His only Special-based skill that's worth using is Max Burn, which nice, but not excellent by any means.
 * Like all Legendary Artifacts, his best skills cost a lot of Stamina. The lowest being 40 Stamina (Cooldown Self-Reset) and the highest being 65 Stamina (Max Flamethrower).
 * Terrible cooldowns. All of his best skills have at least a 3-turn CD.
 * Cooldown Self-Reset, the skill that would've patched up that previous Con, has a whopping 6-turn CD. So say goodbye to that skill once you get hit by CDA.

Recommended Moveset
'''Cooldown Self-Reset? Nah. Don't Need It.''' * That's up to 45% of their health lost in a single turn!
 * Fire Hack (AoE 40 Fire dmg + Fire Weakness w/ 55s, 3-turn CD)
 * Max Burn (AoE 40 Special dmg + Burn w/ 45s, 3-turn CD)
 * Max Damage (Damage for 80 Fire dmg w/ 50s, 3-turn CD)
 * Max Flamethrower (Burn + Ignite + Bleed w/ 65s, 4-turn CD)

Recommended Runes: 2 Strength 1 Team Speed

Now before you start insulting this set, lemme explain myself. Since Flamerion will be recharging every other turn due to his absurd Stamina costs, I doubt there will be a turn in which you'll find yourself FORCED to recharge due to his cooldowns. Plus without Cooldown Self-Reset, you can fit all Flamerion's best attacking skills, so that's a plus. Fire Hack is a must-have. Who doesn't love applying Fire Weakness if it has tandem with your other skills? Max Burn is there for the sake of having a second AoE skill, plus AoE 40 Special dmg + Burn with 95% accuracy is nice all things considered. Max Damage is for maximum damage output, that's it. It hits like a meteor falling from space if Fire Hack is used beforehand, so keep that in mind. Max Flamethrower is there to burn some Jew- I mean to destroy Tanks with, as the sheer amount of Torture effects will quickly burn out their health.

Something Is Cooking... Recommended Runes : 2 Strength 1 Team Speed/Stamina
 * Cooldown Self-Reset (CDD + Extra turn w/ 40s, 6 CD)
 * High Temperature (30 Fire dmg + Bleed + Burn w/ 45s, 2 CD)
 * Fire Hack (AoE 40 Fire Dmg + Fire Weakness w/ 55s, 3 CD)
 * Max Dmg (80 Fire dmg w/ 50s, 3 CD)

Recommended Allies:

 * Fire Weakness users such as Remiel, Igneus and maybe Tephra to save Flamerion the hustle of using Fire Hack to setup.
 * If Cooldown Self-Reset is too trashy for you, you can always have CDDA users instead. The best choices for this are Captain Copperbeard, Dungeon Master and Qinling.
 * Stamina Regain users. It's almost obligatory as his Stamina costs are absurd. Some suggestions are Jassatur with The Crawling Chaos, Metallisha with Moth Into Flame and Frostbite with Artic Boost. Goldfield is also great thanks to him being able to heal while giving Stamina via Life Channeling, though the Stamina Regen will be blocked by Flamerion's trait.
