Brief Introduction
Lighter is an S-Rank agent, specializing in Fire Stun. Being part of the Sons of Calydon faction, Lighter's unique combat style allows him to build Morale. When his Morale is high enough, the fifth hit of his Basic Attack triggers an enhanced state, allowing him to unleash powerful strikes that stun foes and boost his impact. In this state, he also lowers enemies' Fire and Ice Resistance, making them vulnerable for longer. During combat, Lighter can recover Morale as his teammates face off against opponents. And if you switch him in with a Quick Assist, he can hammer enemies with a continuous flurry of punches while nimbly dodging attacks.This helps him Stun enemies quicker, setting up his team for DPS character's show-up. And as for his Ultimate, Lighter delivers a powerful punch that deals massive damage and dazes nearby enemies, making him a key player in any team.

Lighter Skill Priority
Lighter mainly deals damage and Stun enemies by Basic Attack and special attack. Chain attack provides some area of effect, while Ultimate deals break damage to enemies in a group. Assist skill can be used to knock back enemies and control them well, but the damage output remains limited. Therefore, the priority for improving Lighter's skills is as follows: Basic attack = Special attack ＞ Chain attack ＞ Assist > Dodge.

Lighter Best W-Engines
To make the most of Lighter's abilities, the most suitable W-Engine is his signature W-Engine, Blazing Laurel. If it is not available, Hellfire Gears, The Restrained, Precious Fossilized Core and Six Shooter are also good alternatives.
1. Best Choice: Blazing Laurel
Base ATK: 714 | Impact: 18%
R1: Upon launching a Quick Assist or Perfect Assist, the equipper's Impact increases by 25% for 6s. When the equipper launches and hits an enemy with a Basic Attack, apply Wilt to the target for 30s, stacking up to 20 times, repeated triggers reset the duration. When any squad member hits an enemy, for every stack of Wilt applied to the target, the CRIT DMG for the Ice DMG and Fire DMG dealt by that attack increases by 2%.
2. S-Rank Alternative: Hellfire Gears or The Restrained
Hellfire Gears
Base ATK: 684 | Impact: 18%
R1: While off-field, the equipper's Energy Regen increases by 0.6/s.
When using an EX Special Attack, the equipper's Impact is increased by 10% for 10s, stacking up to 2 times. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.
The Restrained
Base ATK: 684 | Impact: 18%
R1: When an attack hits an enemy, DMG and Daze from Basic Attacks increase by 6% for 8s, stacking up to 5 times. This effect can trigger at most once during each skill. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.
3. A-Rank Alternative: Precious Fossilized Core or Six Shooter
Precious Fossilized Core
Base ATK: 595 | Impact: 15%
R5: When the target's HP is no lower than 50%, the equipper inflicts 16% more Daze to the target. When the target's HP is no lower than 75%, this bonus is further increased by 16%.
Six Shooter
Base ATK: 595 | Impact: 15%
R5: The equipper gains 1 Charge stack every 3s, stacking up to 6 times. When launching an EX Special Attack, consumes all Charge stacks and each stack consumed increases the skill's Daze inflicted by 6.4%.
Lighter Best Drive Discs
1. Recommended Drive Discs
As for the best Drive Discs for Lighter, we recommend 4-Pc Shockstar Disco and 2-Pc Swing Jazz. Shockstar Disco can increase his ATK and Swing Jazz can help reduce Lighter's energy needs, as Lighter's ultimate uses a lot of energy.
Shockstar Disco
2-Pc: Impact +6%
4-Pc: Basic Attacks, Dash Attacks, and Dodge Counters inflict 20% more Daze to the main target.
Swing Jazz
2-Pc: Energy Regen +20%
4-Pc: Launching a Chain Attack or Ultimate increases all squad members' DMG by 15% for 12s. Passive effects of the same name do not stack.
2. Stat Prioritization
Main Stats
• (4) CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG
• (5) Fire DMG Bonus / PEN
• (6) Energy Regen / Impact
Lighter Best Teams
Overall, Lighter's gameplay and mechanics are quite novel, but he currently lacks perfectly matched teammates. Despite this, he is very effective at making opponents Stunned. By using Morale, he increases his ATK and quickly puts opponents into a Daze state. Here are two suitable team combinations:
1. Lighter + Soldier 11 + Ben
2. Lighter + Ellen + Caesar
Conclusion
Overall, Lighter is an extremely versatile character who can combine with different characters, form strong teams, and is therefore a valuable addition to any player's roster. We hope every player can maximize Lighter's potential with our Lighter build guide.
