Wield Aleister's Flames

On May 8th, if you've completed the Flame of the Beyond Saga and are at least level 80, you'll be on the path towards obtaining the Scion of Flames class!

Scion of Flames

Scion of Flames is a late-game scaled version of the existing Pyromancer class that's been amplified by the four flames of the Magnum Opus forges. Each flame grants the class an effect that allows it to adapt to the combat situation, whether it's by enhancing damage or defense, providing support, or even increasing area-of-effect. You can even have multiple flames active at once, but not all at once!

How to Unlock the Class

Scion of Flames can be obtained from Aleister in the Flame of the Beyond Epilogue map. To unlock the class, you will need the following:

  • Completion of the Flame of the Beyond saga.
  • Level 80+
  • Rank 10 Yew Mountains Rep
  • Flame Sigil (requires Rank 10 Embersea and Pyromancer Class)
  • Flame of Maleno Armor* (requires Gold Voucher 100k x15, Steel Ingot x50, Black Flame of Maleno x75, and Yew Ember x20)
  • Flame of Albedo Armor* (requires Gold Voucher 100k x15, Aiwass Diamond x50, White Flame of Albedo x150, Yew Ember x20)
  • Flame of Citrinitas Armor* (requires Gold Voucher 100k x15, Yellow Flame of Citrinitas x100, Yew Ember x20)
  • Flame of Rubedo Armor* (requires Gold Voucher 100k x15, Red Flame of Rubedo x100, Yew Ember x20)
  • Aleister the Dawnseeker

*These armors will also be obtainable through defeating this week's challenge boss. The challenge boss is not required to be defeated in order to obtain the class.

Scion of Flames Details

Stat Model: Offensive Caster
Mana Regen: The Scion of Flames gains mana from all hits landed in combat, and especially on crits. The amount depends on damage relative to *their own* HP total.

Combat Skills

Fuel the Flames
Rank needed: 1 
Target: Enemy
Max Targets: 1
Range: Infinite
Cooldown: 16 seconds

Fuel the Flames of a Magnum Opus Forge, empowering the next skill you use for 20 seconds.

Notably, this class doesn't use a traditional Auto Attack, instead having five skills. Use this skill first, and then another one of your four skills to apply its Magnum Opus effect.

Flame of Maleno
Rank needed: 1
Target: Enemy
Max Targets: 1
Type: 40% Magical
Range: Infinite
Mana Cost: 10
Cooldown: 2.5 seconds

Scorch your target with putrefying flames. Applies Black Flames to your target, a 6 second fast DoT. Black Flames are consumed by your other damaging skills to deal double damage and apply Cremate, reducing DoT Resistance by 10% for 10 seconds, stacks to 10.

Fuel The Flame: Applies Decay to your target for 5 seconds. Also applies Decomposing Flames for 20 seconds, increasing Black Flames' stack limit to 3 and causing skills that consume it to deal 150% more damage for each additional stack. 

The putrefying Flames of Maleno increase the damage output of the class. Stack up your Black Flames then use another damaging skill for huge damage! This skill also provides a brief Decay effect, much like the entity you encountered in the city of Thelima.

Flame of Albedo
Rank needed: 2
Target: Enemy
Max Targets: 1
Type: 80% Magical
Range: Infinite
Mana Cost: 15

Fuel The Flame: Applies Purifying Flames for 20 seconds, increasing Crit Chance and Outgoing Damage by 30%. While Transcending Flames is active, Flame of Citrinitas spreads this effect to your allies for 12 seconds.

The purifying Flames of Albedo are focused on buffing your damage oriented stats. This effect can also be shared with your allies under the right conditions!

Flame of Citrinitas
Rank needed: 3
Target: Self
Max Targets: 1
Type: 75% Magical
Range: Infinite
Mana Cost: 30

Heals yourself with enlightening flames and applies Burning Ward for 6 seconds, increasing your Damage Resistance by 15%, healing you over time, and causing foes who strike you to take damage, up to 1,000 per hit. 

Fuel the Flame: Applies Enlightening Flames for 20 seconds. While active, Burning Ward's effects and duration are doubled.

The enlightening Flames of Citrinitas provide you with the familiar Burning Ward effect, in addition to healing and a defense buff. You can also heal and buff your allies under the right conditions!

Flame of Rubedo
Rank needed: 5
Target: Enemy
Max Targets: 1
Range: Infinite
Mana Cost: 20
Cooldown: 16 seconds

Unleash an onslaught of unavoidable fire. Applies Red Flames to your target, a 10 second slow DoT. 

Fuel The Flame: Applies Transcending Flames for 20 seconds, causing your damaging skills to target up to 3 foes and Flame of Citrinitas to target up to 6 allies.

The exalting Flames of Rubedo grant you the ability to hit multiple targets at once while also allowing you to share the effects of the previous two skills with your allies.

Conclusion

The goal when designing Scion of Flames was to preserve its playstyle of consuming Scorch for additional damage and its damage reflecting Burning Ward effect, as those were its defining characteristics. With the addition of the four Magnum Opus flames, the class has become quite versatile in what it's able to do, whether it's by usng the Flames of Maleno and Albedo to boost damage, the Flames of Citrinitas to heal and defend, or the Flames of Rubedo to spread your flames to your allies and enemies. The Flames were designed to have some synergy with one another (but not all at once), so you may come up with a few combinations as you use the class. 

The flames of the Magnum Opus Forges burn hot. Many flocked to the Yew Mountain Chain to forge weapons in them, but none have truly been able to wield their flames until now.
