Card Info[]
Melee unit that dashes at enemies and has an AOE skill to damage enemies in an area.
Cinder Fall... the ambitious villainess, has done the impossible. She has stolen the power of a Maiden, defeated Beacon's Ozpin, and turned Atlas weaponry against itself. A near unstoppable force, Cinder is now something more than human...
And simultaneously... something less.
Midnight struck one last time that night,
Never to be seen again.
The clock forever stopped in the waltz with Fire,
Turned to ashes in Scorching Caress.
"Who are you again?" -Cinder
Competitive Analysis[]
Flame Cinder primarily plays as a chip wincon and support unit, being a glass cannon with extremely high DPS. The benefit of Flame Cinder's area-of-effect skill is her low cooldown of 16 seconds, allowing for it to be used defensively only to then refresh for a counter-push. If Flame Cinder ever reaches an enemy turret, the structure's health will melt away at a rapid rate even if she isn't supported by other units.
However, despite this, the unit has exploitable weaknesses that prevent Flame Cinder from being overly reliable. As a result of her dash passive's massive targeting range, Flame Cinder has a tendency to go to the middle lane, allowing her to be chipped down by both turrets. Furthermore, she is easily countered by most multi-unit Normal cards, forcing early skill use, and the skill's cast time has a large window for stuns.
She is perhaps best paired with Ice Weiss and AK-135, which carve a path for her to reach the turret. It's hard to say that Flame Cinder is a bad card, but for the hefty 6-aura cost she can be underwhelming due to a large skill curve in the unit.
