Lighter's signature and his obvious best pick. It gives him easy access to the full strength of his Additional Ability while substantially raising both Impact% and Combat Impact% across his whole rotation, and it boosts the entire team's Ice and Fire CRIT DMG by up to 30%.

Qingyi's signature is a surprisingly good substitute if you already own it. Lighter builds its 30 stacks comfortably, and the resulting Combat Impact% combined with the base Impact% is enough to satisfy his Additional Ability. It also hands the team a short 20% DMG buff.

Hellfire GearsS
AltHellfire GearsS1

A reasonable non-limited choice that can still max out Lighter's Additional Ability, with a catch: its Combat Impact% buff requires casting EX 1 and the EX Follow-Up first, so they should ideally come before the Morale combo, which limits flexibility.

Excellent on every Stun Agent and especially in Deadly Assault, where its massive Daze bonus against high-HP enemies is fully exploited, often beating S-Rank engines despite being a free craftable. Less impressive in other endgame modes, but still perfectly viable.

This engine cannot fully activate Lighter's Additional Ability, so his supportive output takes a hit. It still supplies enough Impact for a reasonable buff and solid personal bonuses, delivering respectable Daze overall.

Strengths

  • +Strong Daze generation through Basic Attacks and EX Specials
  • +Versatile — works in both Fire and mixed compositions requiring Stun

Weaknesses

  • −Signature is effectively mandatory for team-wide buff value
  • −Less universal than other Stun agents — most valuable in Fire-specific teams

Skills

Press or hold the Basic Attack button to activate. Perform up to five forward strikes, dealing Physical DMG and Fire DMG. During the 3rd hit, drag the joystick and repeatedly press or hold Basic Attack to unleash a series of melee follow-up attacks; release the joystick to follow up with the 4th hit. During the startup light punch of the 5th hit, drag the joystick and repeatedly press or hold Basic Attack to alternate between the light punch and 4th hit; release the joystick to follow up with the jab combo. Continue repeatedly pressing or holding Basic Attack to extend the duration of the jab combo. When you stop pressing or holding Basic Attack, or when the combo reaches its maximum duration, a Finishing Move launches forward — Lighter is invulnerable during the Finishing Move. During the 5th hit, Lighter takes 40% less DMG (80% in Morale Burst). While in the Morale Burst state, Anti-Interrupt Level is increased during the 5th hit.

The Champion

Among the debuffs imposed by Core Passive: Accelerant, the Collapse effect increases Stun duration by 5s (up from 3s), and further reduces Ice RES and Fire RES by an additional 10%. The more powerful Finishing Move that follows when Lighter's Morale is completely exhausted during a startup light punch or jab combo deals 30% increased DMG.
