Elysian Realm Guide - Herrscher of Flamescion
Hello, this is my first non-beta Elysian Realm guide on the Herrscher of Flamescion, who I'll just refer to as Flamescion. I'll only be looking at Elysian Realm and related features in this guide, so this won't apply to other game systems.

Basic Summary
Flamescion is a PSY type fire damage dealer, who specializes in staying at low health while having a barrier for protection. Because of this, Kalpas' signets are some of the best for her. Her exclusive signets focus on her evasion and aerial combos which create black holes, and so Sakura is also a good choice.
Special Adjustments
Every character has certain special adjustments in Elysian Realm to make it both easier for newer players to use them and to allow them to fight solo in the realm.
Herrscher of Flamescion's Special Adjustments are:
- Valkyrie stats and skill level are adjusted to Lv. 80 equivalent
This is the same for all Elysian Realm valkyries, to put them on a level playing field.
- My Body, A Beacon's HP regen is not limited by stage effects
This skill of Flamescion's is the one that heals her after casting her ult. This basically means that her HP can go up and down quite easily, allowing you to use Kalpas' signets effectively.
- When the barrier breaks, Valkyrie restores 60% max HP and becomes invincible for 3s. CD: 30s
This adjustment is quite helpful in keeping you alive, though afterward your DPS will be lower (due to higher HP) and you'll be a bit more vulnerable (due to no barrier).
Exclusive Signets
Flamscion's exclusive signets are focused around her aerial combo ATKs, which create black holes, and evasions.
I only have pictures of the upgraded blessings, so to find the base buffs, just remove the upgrade bonus.
Blessing of Reburn
Upgrade bonus: Extra evasion charge given
Blessing of Tempered Warrior
Upgrade bonus: Total DMG taken in midair is reduced by 30%
Blessing of Heatflow
Upgrade bonus: Black holes deal 100% bonus fire damage instead of 75%
Blessing of Flamescion
Upgrade bonus: Barrier HP increases by 25%
Blessing of Starfire
Upgrade bonus: The smaller black hole deals 400% fire DMG instead of 300%
Recommended Signets
(These recommendations are just what I personally found fun, feel free to experiment and put your own recommendations in the comments below!)
- Exclusive Signets -
Most important:
Blessing of Reburn > Blessing of Tempered Warrior
Reburn basically lets you skip the CD on Flamescion's Herrscher mode, which is incredibly helpful. If you have enough evasion charges, you can also skip the CDs between combo attacks. Altogether, this is a massive DPS boost, and even enables some of the other signets, and so should definitely be first pick.
Second pick, if you have the option, should definitely be Tempered Warrior. Reducing the evasion skill CD, paired together with Reburn, will let you use so many more combo attacks, which will then continually reduce CDs. The upgrade to reduce damage taken while in the air is also good, because that's where you'll spend most of your time, between the black holes and the CD reduction.
Second choice:
Blessing of Heatflow
Heatflow gives even more DPS, and creates more black holes with evasions, which combines very well with Reburn and Tempered Warrior. This provides good gather with the extra black holes, and gives more DPS with the extra damage.
Last choice:
Blessing of Starfire = Blessing of Flamescion
These signets are both good, it just depends on what you need more.
Starfire gives even more DPS, with a high damage multiplier, but with a cooldown.
Flamescion gives more survivability if you're getting hit a lot, and can be good for newer players especially.
Generally, especially at higher difficulties, more DPS is better, but if you feel that you're more lacking in defense, Flamescion is also a good option.
- Flame Chaser Signets -
Kalpas
As Flamescion tends to have low HP and has a protective barrier, Kalpas' signets work great. Kalpas' core signet even does fire damage, suggesting that they were meant to work together. All of Kalpas' signets work well, but I tend to go for [+max HP] and [every 100HP lost increases DMG].
Kalpas' enhanced signets are also good, so you should take them if you can.
Sakura*
One of Sakura's signets actually has higher priority than Kalpas', and that's the extra evasion charge. It works well with Reburn and gives a DPS boost larger than any other single signet. I would also recommend that this is the first one to upgrade in the shop.
Sakura's other signets are also great, with the frequency that you'll be evading. Anything that increases your damage output is top priority.
Her enhanced signets are fine, but the best one resets the weapon and ult CD. If you get this, focus on SP regen so you can start to spam ults in between combo attacks.
Hua
Hua is always a good choice, even though you have the adjustment to restore HP after the barrier breaks, it's better to avoid having to use it as it means less effective Kalpas buffs. Focus these signets more at the end, as long as you get the core signet it doesn't really matter which 3 you get.
- Playstyle -
Always try to stay in the air to get the most out of all the enhanced signets.
Early on, with fewer evasion charges, try to evade only after Herrscher mode, when the bar goes grey.
Later, with more evasion charges and hopefully Tempered Warrior, you can evade in between charge attacks, but try not to evade after the first one, when entering Herrscher mode as it has the shortest CD.
- Support Valkyries -
Since Flamescion has her own gather with her black holes, VC is less important.
BR is good since you'll be at low HP anyways. BKE or VK are good for DPS, and AE is good for elemental support.
Just take the 2 you like the most.
- Remembrance Sigils -
Early Game: [Mad King's Mask] or [Shattered Shackles]
Late Game: [Forget-Me-Not] if needed, or [Shattered Shackles]
Final Boss: [Resolve] with Hua's core or [Shattered Shackles] without
I hope you found this guide helpful, I'll be making more non-beta guides in the future! (Especially since I didn't get into 5.3 beta ;-; ) My next few guides will probably take a while, because I actually have to unlock the valkyries, but expect one for HoS next!
Feel free to share your own experiences and recommendations in the comments below, and check out my other guides!
