Data-based analysis
Based on official game data including stats, roles, skills, traits, and elemental matchups. Actual performance may vary depending on team composition, playstyle, and game updates.
Overview
A DPS in the Gamma Stage. Its total stat value is Below average overall. Judging by what its skills and trait actually do, it is a front-line attacker that opens up and pushes damage.
You can evolve into it, but it also appears in the wild, so you can skip the evolution conditions and catch one directly. Evolving into Scorchhowl needs Lv. 20 plus one more condition, so set up a situation where you can meet it before evolving. Put its Potential development into ATK — an already strong area, so it sharpens the role it plays. Of the four Personality letters, S (DMG +4%) does the most here, since it boosts Damage.
Performance
- Its dual element widens the enemies it counters to 3 elements, but widens its weaknesses to 1
- It has 2 area attacks, so it trades up when several enemies are grouped
- Some of its skills include a dodge, so it can stay glued to a target while avoiding hits
- It strips fire resistance, so lining it up with fire attackers makes their damage land
- Its mobility skill “Hustle” makes it worth bringing along for field traversal
Strengths
- Its damage is High, so it produces numbers even without a buffer alongside
- It deals 1.6x to grass, fire, ice, so you can pick it specifically for those fights
- It cuts fire, ice attacks to 0.391x, so it can afford to tank those enemies
- It has 3 Home abilities, giving you options for where to assign it
Watch out for
- Its durability is Below average, so pair it with an ally that heals or shields
- Its energy regen is Below average, so it is not built for firing skills back to back
- It takes 2.56x from water attacks, so keep it off the field against those enemies
