Firefly leaked abilities

Thanks to beebom, we have information regarding Firefly’s abilities. However, like always, you should take any leaks with a grain of salt until they are officially confirmed.

Basic Attack

Deals Fire Damage to a single target.

Enhanced Basic Attack

Heals a percentage of her Max HP and deals Fire Damage to a single target.

Skill

Consumes Max HP and deals Fire damage to a single enemy. Regenerates some energy if the attack weakness breaks the targeted enemy.

Enhanced Skill

Restores a percentage of her Max HP and deals Blast Fire Damage. If the attack weakness breaks at least one of the targets, advances Firefly’s action and deals extra Fire damage to the targets. This damage is considered as Ultimate damage.

Ultimate

Dispels all debuffs placed on Firefly and enters the Primary Combustion State, which 100% advances her action and summons a Cooldown Kernal on the action bar. The Primary Combustion state ends when the Cooldown Kernal takes action.

Talent

Reduces damage taken by a percentage of lost HP (max 48%), which is increased in the Primary Combustion state. Her talent also increases her Speed by a fixed value in the Primary Combustion state, increases her damage by a percentage of her Break Effect and switches her Skill and Basic attack into the enhanced form.

When Firefly is not in the Primary Combustion state, she will regenerate energy every time her current HP changes, based on the ratio of the HP change to Max HP.

Technique

Transforms into Primary Combustion State. When Transformed, cannot be spotted by enemies and blocks all incoming attacks. Her move speed is also increased and she ignores all enemies while moving. After transforming, pressing the normal Attack or Technique buttons will attack all enemies in a large area, similar to Kafka and Argenti.

Traces

  • Increased resistance to Crowd Control Debuffs.
  • Increased Fire Damage when in Primary Combustion state.

Firefly leaked Eidolons

Some of Firefly’s alleged Eidolons have also appeared on the same website. You can check them out below:

  • Level One – Applies Fire Weakness to the main target when using Firefly’s Enhanced Skill. The effect ignores Resistances.
  • Level Two – Buff duration is increased by 1 turn.
  • Level Four – When in the Primary Combustion state, the Cooldown Kernal is delayed after defeating an enemy. This effect is triggered a limited number of times during each combustion.
  • Level Six – Increases damage dealt by Ultimate when in Primary Combustion state.
