Battle Skill provides Heat application. Ultimate gives team-wide buffs. Combo Skill triggers easily on Final Strike.
Best Team Compositions
Premier AoE burst DPS with infinite scaling. Her Ultimate provides sustained Heat damage that can cross waves. P0 viable - works well even without promotion. Weakness: Damage is weak when Ultimate is down.
Heat DMG, Arts Intensity, Basic Attack DMG, Ultimate uptime, Ultimate Gain Efficiency
Ultimate > Battle Skill > Combo Skill > Normal Attack
Build Melting Flame stacks (max 4) using Battle Skill and Combo Skill procs. Use Ultimate when ready for massive sustained damage with enhanced basic attacks.

Final Build Optimization
Battle Skill (Smouldering Fire) → Build Melting Flame stacks (4 max) → Ultimate (Twilight) when ready → Spam enhanced Basic Attacks during Ultimate → Repeat
Time Ultimate with team buffs and when enemies are grouped. Laevatain's Ultimate has infinite scaling - the longer it lasts, the more damage it deals. Prioritize killing enemies during Ultimate to extend its duration (up to +7s at max potential).
Laevatain + Ardelia + Wulfgard + Antal
Laevatain + Akekuri + Wulfgard + Antal
Laevatain + Ardelia + Wulfgard + Akekuri
Always reach 4 Melting Flame stacks before using Ultimate - this ignores enemy Heat Resistance
During Ultimate, prioritize basic attacks over skills - the enhanced BATK multipliers are massive
Laevatain's Ultimate can cross waves - position to hit multiple enemy groups
Time your Combo Skill (Seethe) when enemies have Combustion for bonus damage and Ultimate Energy
Keep Melting Flame stacks active - they last 20s and provide significant Heat Resistance ignore
P0 Laevatain is completely viable - her core mechanics work without any promotions
P4 reduces Ultimate cost by 15% - significant for more frequent burst windows
P5 extends Ultimate duration when killing enemies during it - aim for high mob density areas
