Flamestrike is a physical ability for Lightning in Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. It deals physical fire-elemental damage to a single target.

Obtained[]

Flamestrike can be obtained through several methods. A Flamestrike Lv. 2 can be found in a treasure chest in the Patron's Palace's Passageway.

The command also has a chance of being dropped from Neelas with a 7.5% chance, Zaltyses with a 10% chance, and Dreadnoughts with a 10% chance. The Zaltyses will have a 50% drop rate if players sever their tails, while Dreadnoughts will increase to 30% if their arms are destroyed. The enemies drop different levels of the ability on the following days and difficulties:

Enemy Lv. 1 Lv. 2 Lv. 3 Lv. 4 Lv. 5
Neela N/A N/A Day 13 (Easy/Normal) N/A Day 13 (Hard)
Zaltys Day 1 - 6 (Easy/Normal) Day 7 - 9 (Easy/Normal) Day 10 - 13 (Easy/Normal) Day 1 - 6 (Hard) Day 7 - 13 (Hard)
Dreadnought Day 1 - 6 (Easy/Normal) Day 7 - 9 (Easy/Normal) Day 10 - 13 (Easy/Normal) Day 1 - 6 (Hard) Day 7 - 13 (Hard)

Mechanics[]

Flamestrike deals physical fire-elemental damage to a single foe. It has an ATB cost of 15, an attack power of 0.40, Stagger Power of C, Stagger Time of E, and a Combo of 5. When fully upgraded, Flamestrike Lv.5 can have an ATB cost of 10, an attack power of 2.55, a Stagger Power of C, and a Stagger Time of E.

When under the effects of Enfire, Flamestrike's damage and stagger power will increase a bit, while also gaining a small area of effect to hit nearby targets. The attack shares the same animation as the Fira magic ability.

Fang uses Flamestrike to opponents weak against fire when she is a guest party member.
