Core Passive: Nitro-Fuel Cocktail

When Burnice expends Energy, she accumulates Heat (max 100), gaining 1.4 Heat per 1 Energy consumed. At 50 Heat she enters the Nitro-Fuel Cocktail state until all Heat is expended. Upon entering the battlefield, Burnice instantly accumulates 100 Heat.

While in the Nitro-Fuel Cocktail state, when Burnice hits an enemy with Basic Attack: Mixed Flame Blend, EX Special Attacks, Chain Attack: Fuel-Fed Flame, or Ultimate: Glorious Inferno, she applies the Scorched effect to the target. When other squad members hit Scorched enemies, it triggers Afterburn: expends 8 Heat, deals Fire DMG equal to 350% of Burnice's ATK, and accumulates Fire Anomaly Buildup. Triggers once every 1.5s. For every 10 Anomaly Proficiency, Afterburn DMG increases by 1%, up to 30%.
