Student Maribelle

Maribelle has been doing a lot of studying, and it seems to have resulted in her learning how to wield Flame Magic instead of Wind. In most regards, this version of Maribelle is a near identical copy of her Wind Element original. So why not summon for her? A large part of that is that she swapped her 100% Skill prep for 30% Broken Punisher. Now, Broken Punisher is a great ability, but that 100% Skill Prep allowed Maribelle to open up strong and burst down enemies quickly. Without it, she’s somewhat lacking in the initial phase of the fight. For long fights Broken Punisher will prove more powerful if you can break the boss multiple times, but most Wind content at the moment is a breeze.

Additionally, we’ve had so many powerful Flame Adventurers released that Maribelle really lacks for a home. The only people who should pull for her are either new players who have no strong Flame Adventurers with Stun Resistance, or longtime fans. Otherwise, you’re better off not taking one step closer to this tempting banner.

Mikoto

Sharing this banner with Maribelle is longtime favorite Mikoto. He has proven himself time and again as one of the top Flame DPS, and has one of the best kits in the game with his attack speed buffs and focus on Critical hits. Still, Mikoto is a launch Adventurer. He’s been out for a long time, and people have had plenty of opportunities to acquire him. Unless you have missed Mikoto up until now and have no good Flame Adventurers, it would be wise to save your Wyrmite instead of pulling for Mikoto here.

Nurse Aeleen

Perhaps the valedictorian of this class, Nurse Aeleen comes in to fulfill the much-needed role of a quality Water Staff. Her first Skill is a potent team-wide heal that comes packaged with two powerful buffs, the first being a Defense buff, and the second being a Strength buff. It takes three heals to cycle through both buffs, but it’s a powerful active. Her S2 can restore health to nearby allies and removes Stun. This one is a bit more situational, as you have to actually be near to your teammates in a similar manner to Odetta’s S2. She also is the first Adventurer to boast United Haste 1, which causes your skill gage to fill faster the more active allies you have.

There is, sadly, one problem with Nurse Aeleen. That is that she has Stun resistance, instead of Burn. While she’s still got a niche in the meta, that also means she competes with Verica, who while off element, has proven to be one of the most potent healers in the game for Void Agni and Flame IO. With that plus the fact that she’s going into the permanent pool, players should probably say Goodnight Everybody! Instead of Hello Nurse.

Serena

Serena joins the rather oversaturated stable of Flame Sword Adventurers, and has to compete with the likes of Marth for a place in your roster. Still, she has a few unique qualities, namely her heavy focus on crits. Her S1 increases her Crit rate for 10 seconds, and her passives increase her critical damage multiplier and her critical rate when reaching combo thresholds. Still, they have a slow build up, and there are a plethora of other options. Unless Euden is your only Flame Sword, you should probably pass on summoning just for Serena.
