Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages	Disadvantages
Speeds up the flow of battle. Can activate periodic fire damage that is already inflicted on monsters. Thanks to the ultimate, Burning statuses are triggered without having to wait for the enemy's turn.	About dear superpower: Consumes 120 energy units. The problem is solved with the opening of the fourth eidolon, a connecting rope to restore energy or tingyun.
Equally effective against single targets and groups of enemies. The mechanics are based on periodic damage from the Burning status, which a character inflicts with a regular attack on one enemy or with a skill on several.	Low base attack power. The calculation of the character’s final attack power depends on this characteristic, which directly affects the key mechanic - damage from the Burning status. For good results, you will have to invest as much as possible in these parameters, for example, equip a cone with high values ​​or collect multipliers in relics.
Periodic damage does not take into characteristics that affect crit when calculating the final damage figure, so the character is extremely easy to assemble. For high damage, she just needs to select relics with attack power.	Periodic statuses in full revealed as the battle progresses, since they need several cycles to operate and add. Because of this, the character is not so effective at the beginning of the battle and in short battles. Availability Kafka in a squad or frequent use of the ultimate can compensate for this disadvantage.
Does not require additional investment. Eidolons and legendary weapons do not buff the heroine so much that you can spend maximum resources on her.
Powerful debuffer и minor DD: due to the talent, it increases damage to monsters with the Fiery Kiss status, which is also useful for Guinaifen itself.
