Overview
Wilnas is a powerful, low maintenance, attacker who's main strength lies in his consistently large damage output, but can be held back by his lack of multiattacks and utility. He can perform reasonably well in most content, but will only really shine in "mashing" and some OTK teams.
Strengths
- Very high damage multipliers across the board give him a large damage output without being overly reliant on an exceptionally strong grid, buff/debuffs, or against high DEF content.
Forever BurningDoesn't deal multiattacks, no charge bar gain upon normal attacks, amplifySeraphic modifier normal attack damage by 50%, and counters upon taking damage (1 hit).
Activate Flame Claw after normal attacks. benefits generally more than outweigh the drawback of not being able to multiattack in terms of pure damage.
- Notably, on top of the pure skill damage aspect of it, Flame Claw800% Fire damage to a foe (Damage cap: ~730,000).

- This also makes him exceptionally fast at applying SingedHP is lowered on every turn based on Singed lvl (Can't be removed)
.
- Not normally being able to multiattack also guarantees his impact on lockout time will be minimal, which is helpful in mashing compositions.

(Can't recast.) makes him permanently durable, at the cost of a single skill cast at the start of the fight.
- His numerous HP EMP nodes also pair well with the DEF buff, if increased durability is desirable.
- The slightly increased Hostility is helpful in diverting damage from more vulnerable members of the party, while also raising the probability of triggering his passive counter upon taking damage.
- It further increase his damage output on charge attacks, by auto-activating

- It also directly contribute to making Fated Chain available more frequently.
Weaknesses
- His inability to multiattack without charge attacking first makes him unable to benefit fully from some of the most powerful buffs Fire has to offer.
- His skill damage sources, while powerful and frequent, are single hit, which makes them less effective at taking advantage of Supplemental Damage.
- The overall very low number of hits he's capable of per turn generally makes him a liability in clearing Omens that require a certain number of hits.
- This can be somewhat mitigated by planning a charge attack ahead of such Omen.
- Being a "selfish attacker", his utility is relatively low, being limited to a slightly increase Hostility, and a Dispel

- Fated Chain is also usually better kept in reserve to cancel an Omen with the matching condition, which are often devastating, than spent specifically for the purpose of triggering this passive.

How to Play
Wilnas is mostly very straight forward, but while it can be played by simply using his skills whenever they're available, there are a few optimizations to be made.
- Hadron Smash1200% Fire damage to all foes (Damage cap: ~1,300,000) and remove 1 buff., while a massive nuke, is still a minor portion of Wilnas' damage, mostly due to its very long cooldown. Because of that, it can be more interesting to keep it as a Dispel, or to help clear a (skill) damage based Omen cancel condition.
- Relying on auto-activation on charge attack for that purpose can also be an option, as Wilnas has a very consistent charge bar gain, particularly if supported by other characters.
- Flame Claw800% Fire damage to a foe (Damage cap: ~730,000).
Raise foe's SingedHP is lowered on every turn based on Singed lvl (Can't be removed)
Base Accuracy: Guaranteed to land if the foe does not have 100% debuff resistance (10,000% base accuracy)Duration: 180 seconds lvl by 1 (Max: 10).

Strength: 30%Multiplier: AssassinDuration: 2 turns and Charge Bar +20%Instantly boosts Charge Bar by 20%
Strength: 20%. can be treated similarly, and should be kept for the turn of, or directly following, a charge attack, as the later is the only one Wilnas can triple attack, while also being the only one when he doesn't automatically gain Blistering FlamesATK is boosted by Blistering Flames (Can't be removed / Can't be extended)
.
- Note that while Blistering FlamesATK is boosted by Blistering Flames (Can't be removed / Can't be extended)
duration is 2 turns, Flame Claw auto-activation happens before the end of the turn. As such, the buff will only have 1 turn of remaining duration on the next turn.
- Flame Claw is also not auto-activated on charge attack, which means the buff won't be refreshed for the turn of TA.
- The skill can also be occasionally useful to top Wilnas' charge bar.

cannot be removed and doesn't expire.
- Keep in mind that, while the buff cannot normally be removed, it won't be conserved if Wilnas is knocked out or switched to the backline before being revived or switched back to the frontline, and the skill will remain unavailable.
- While it can be helpful in triggering Wilnas' own counter, the increased Hostility might be detrimental to other characters who's kit require being targeted, particularly when facing a foe performing a small amount of single target attacks.
- It can also be forgone in favor of speed when facing a weak or predictable opponent, particularly when mashing.

Mashing
Mashing is the style of gameplay Wilnas is the best at, at the time of writing. It doesn't involve any complicated strategy, and purely rely on Wilnas' innate strength, as his powerful single attack, skill auto-activation, and counter give him a high damage output for a minimal lockout time. This is ideal to take a lot of turns quickly, resulting in a high DPS.
However, while Wilnas' large multipliers give him some leeway in that regard, this is also mostly reserved complete Primal Grids.
In this strategy:
- Charge attacks should be disabled.
- Skills don't need to be used.
- The Vermillion's GlareGain The Vermillion's GlareDEF is boosted / Takes no debuffs / More likely to be attacked / Hadron Smash activates upon using charge attack (Can't be removed)
Duration: Indefinite.
(Can't recast.) can be beneficial, as it permanently increase Wilnas survivability and likeliness of counter.

This currently shouldn't be the preferred strategy for short fights, but can be useful to keep in mind for players without the required characters to perform more effective ones, or if a potentially more suitable supportive character for this setup was to be released in the future. It is overshadowed by other strategy due to the turn of setup required, and how readily available teamwide TA and Assassin Buffs are to Fire.

Extended Mastery Perks
Over Mastery Bonus
Wilnas is unusual where the majority of the fourth set of bonuses are almost completely meaningless. This allows players to get away with using 
Lineage Ring instead of 
Intricacy Ring when choosing bonuses for Wilnas. The reason are as follows:
DEF — Wilnas already has a high innate defense due to The Vermillion's GlareDEF is boosted / Takes no debuffs / More likely to be attacked / Hadron Smash activates upon using charge attack (Can't be removed)
, so the defense boost ends up being miniscule.
Debuff Resistance — Wilnas is already immune to debuffs due to The Vermillion's GlareDEF is boosted / Takes no debuffs / More likely to be attacked / Hadron Smash activates upon using charge attack (Can't be removed)
.
Double Attack and 
Triple Attack — Wilnas cannot already multiattack due to Forever BurningDoesn't deal multiattacks, no charge bar gain upon normal attacks, amplifySeraphic modifier normal attack damage by 50%, and counters upon taking damage (1 hit).
Activate Flame Claw after normal attacks..
Healing — The bonus requires very specific lineups that can grant healing to Wilnas as he has no innate healing.- Dodge — By far the only effect that has a noticeable impact on Wilnas, albeit it does prevent him from countering from his Forever BurningDoesn't deal multiattacks, no charge bar gain upon normal attacks, amplifySeraphic modifier normal attack damage by 50%, and counters upon taking damage (1 hit).
