Should You Pull?YES

Burnice serves as an elite off-field Fire Anomaly enabler, providing consistent burn application and utility. Her ability to integrate into various anomaly teams makes her a high-value pull for accounts lacking reliable fire support.

Burnice specializes in deploying off-field Fire Anomaly damage through her signature Afterburn mechanic. She utilizes Heat resources to maintain continuous flame-spraying attacks, allowing her to stay active even when swapped out. Her kit focuses on augmenting squad-wide anomaly buildup and providing sustained fire damage via her EX Special Attack variations.

Energy Regen

While off-field, the equipper's Energy Regen increases by 0.6/0.75/0.9/1.05/1.2 per second. When hitting an enemy with an EX Special Attack or Assist Attack, the equipper's DMG increases by 3.5/4.4/5.2/6.1/7%, stacking up to 10 times and lasting for 6s. This effect can trigger once every 0.3s. While off-field, the stack effect is doubled. Repeated triggers reset the duration. Upon obtaining the DMG increase effect, if the number of current stacks is greater than or equal to 5, then the equipper's Anomaly Proficiency increases by 50/62/75/87/100. This Anomaly Proficiency increase does not stack and lasts for 6s.

Why it works —Best for providing off-field energy regen and stacking Anomaly Proficiency.

Anomaly Mastery

The equipper's Anomaly Mastery increases by 60/69/78/87/96. When inflicting Assault, the equipper's Physical DMG increases by 20/23/26/29/32% for 20s, stacking up to 2 times. Repeated triggers reset the duration. When the equipper enters combat, immediately gain 2 stacks.

Anomaly Proficiency

Whenever a squad member inflicts an Attribute Anomaly on an enemy, the equipper gains a buff that increases Anomaly Proficiency by 30/34/38/42/46, stacking up to 4 times. This effect expires when the target recovers from Stun or is defeated. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.

Why it works —Provides significant Anomaly Proficiency boosts based on squad-inflicted anomalies.
