Flowing Flame

Upon launching a Quick Assist or Perfect Assist, the equipper's Impact increases by 25% for 8s. 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 of the Ice DMG and Fire DMG dealt by that attack increases by 1.5%. Only one instance of this effect can exist in the same squad.

This is the agent's engine by design - not necessarily the one people actually run. For what is actually equipped, see below.

CORE SKILL

Lv. 7

Core Passive: Accelerant

Lighter automatically gains Morale over time, at a rate of 2.9 points per second. For each point of Energy consumed by any squad member, Lighter recovers an additional 0.26 Morale, up to a maximum of 100. When Morale reaches 80, the next time Lighter switches into battle he immediately launches a Quick Assist. Once Morale is 80 or higher, executing the 5th hit of his Basic Attack puts Lighter in the Morale Burst state, enhancing the power of the startup light punch, jab combo, and the Finishing Move of the 5th hit of his Basic Attack. When a skill hits an enemy with its power increased, it will continuously consume Morale. With every 10 points of Morale consumed, Lighter's Impact increases by 2%, up to a maximum increase of 20%, and lasting 6s. In the Morale Burst state, Lighter will no longer automatically gain Morale over time. If his Morale is exhausted during a startup light punch or jab combo, he will automatically follow up with a more powerful Finishing Move. In the Morale Burst state, when startup light punches or jab combos hit enemies, the target's Ice RES and Fire RES are reduced by 15%, lasting 30s. In the Morale Burst state, when the Finishing Move hits an enemy, it applies the Collapse effect on the target, extending its Stunned duration by 3s. The Collapse effect can trigger only once on the same target before they recover from Stun. When the Finishing Move of the 5th hit of his Basic Attack hits an enemy, when he switches off field, or when his Morale runs out, Lighter will leave the Morale Burst state, keeping any unspent Morale.

Additional Ability: Fighting Spirit

When another character in your squad is an Attack character or shares the same Faction: While under the Morale Burst state, when the 5th hit of Lighter's Basic Attack hits an enemy, all squad members gain a stack of Elation, stacking up to 20 times and lasting 30s. Repeated triggers reset the duration. For each stack of Elation, an Agent's Ice DMG and Fire DMG increase by 1.25%. When obtaining Elation, if Lighter's Impact exceeds 170, every additional 10 points of Impact will increase the buff effect provided by each stack of Elation by an extra 0.25%. When any squad member launches a Chain Attack, it will refresh the duration of all squad members' Elation. Elation can increase the Ice DMG and Fire DMG of Agents by a maximum of 75%.

MINDSCAPE CINEMA

The Champion

Among the debuffs imposed by Core Passive: Accelerant, the Collapse effect increases Stun duration by 5s, while further reducing Ice RES and Fire RES by 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.

Victory for the champion is crucial. By facing off against the strongest fighter from the opposing side, he eliminates the threat to his leader — bringing an immense morale uplift to the team. For him, only victory deserves recognition. "The Champion cannot be defeated."

Red Scarf

When applying Collapse via Core Passive: Accelerant to enemies, the target's Stun DMG Multiplier increases by 25%. The increase to Ice DMG and Fire DMG provided by Elation from Additional Ability: Fighting Spirit increases to 120% of the original.

As the "Red Scarf" of the Sons of Calydon, Lighter is quite famous in the Outer Ring, and not just because of his fists, but also due to... his unique way of speaking. "I enjoy taking it easy... but you wouldn't manage without me, would you?"

Mercenary Leader

Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2

"I'm probably the last person anyone should pick as their leader."

Sunglasses

When Lighter is off-field, the Energy Regen for the on-field character is increased by 10%. Upon entering the Morale Burst state, Lighter restores 4 Energy for off-field characters. This effect can trigger once every 18s.

"You're asking why I wear sunglasses? Uh... it's because I get queasy at the sight of blood, I guess."

Decision Maker

Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2

"Give me an order, and I'll carry it out. It's that simple." Lighter adjusted his sunglasses with a carefree smile. "Just don't put me in charge of making decisions."

Survivor

Lighter's Morale recovery efficiency is increased to 200% of its original value. When Lighter lands a heavy strike on enemies during a Basic Attack, Dodge Counter, Special Attack, EX Special Attack, Quick Assist, Assist Follow-Up, Chain Attack, or Ultimate, it will trigger the Blazing Impact effect, dealing 250% of ATK as Fire DMG. This effect can trigger once every 8s on each enemy. If Lighter's Impact exceeds 170 points, each additional point will further increase the multiplier of Blazing Impact by 5%, up to a maximum increase of 500%. The more powerful Finishing Move that follows when Lighter's Morale is completely exhausted during a light punch or jab combo will trigger an additional activation of Blazing Impact when hitting an enemy, ignoring the effect's cooldown.

If given the chance to do it all over again, he would never opt to be the only survivor. Unfortunately, fate is rarely a choice.

A deliberate off-meta build lands at the bottom of this list while still being perfectly workable.
