Flame Blast

From The World Ends With You

Flame Blast is a negative psych found on only three pins. It is activated by pressing on an empty space. Unlike its relative Pyrokinesis, the flame cannot be moved during activation. All Flame Blast pins will sometimes afflict HP drain on an enemy, causing it to lose 5% of its max HP every five seconds until the effect wears off. In addition, the flame is able to stun-juggle smaller enemies. Regular Flame Blast pins are categorized under B class.

[edit] Analysis

Flame Blast is an outstanding general purpose psych. At 74% efficiency, it is the most powerful psych that fires rapidly and attacks multiple enemies. The high efficiency also makes it suitable as a puck passing psych, although some players prefer to combo into psychs with even higher efficiency.

[edit] Tin Pin Sunscorch vs. Blue Blood Burns Blue

Tin Pin Sunscorch is the earliest Flame Blast pin one can acquire without mingling or evolving, that being on week 2, day 6. It obsoletes many middle efficiency psychs such as Pyrokinesis and Thunderbolt. BBBB may be obtained as early as week 2, day 5, by evolving Fiery Spirit, Spirited Fire twice. Once it is available, feel free to retire Tin Pin Sunscorch and switch over to the more potent version. Note that Flame Blast is B class, so it is possible to have two BBBB pins in the deck. In addition, if there are already two BBBB pins in the deck, it is possible to trick the game and have a third BBBB pin in the deck by evolving Flames Afar, Foes Aflame into BBBB.

[edit] Blue Blood Burns Blue vs. Drake

Drake is obtained in the postgame and is one of the top Angel class pins. By having Drake and two BBBBs in the deck, the player is able to summon a pillar of neverending flame. Both have similar damage, but Drake lasts longer and has less reboot time. Therefore, the only reason Drake would be avoided is if the Angel class slot were needed for another pin, such as Her Royal Highness. Note that BBBB with Resonance will have a pin ATK of 133, which barely edges out Drake.
