How to Play Burnice White

Burnice's main resource is called Heat, this is a meter show under her character icon in the top right of the screen. Heat normally has a maximum of 100 points but the limit can be increased to 140 if you have her at M1.

Burnice White Heat

Burnice can gain heat in the following ways:

  • Gain 50 heat when using .
  • Gain 1.4 Heat for every 1 Energy Used.
  • Upon entering the battlefield, Burnice instantly accumulates 100 Heat. 140 at M1.

This heat can be spent on a held Basic Attack but the main use is related to her Core passive. After 50 heat, Burnice is in the Nitro-Fuel Cocktail state which causes her hits to apply a Scorched effect to enemies. Scorched enemies then take Fire DMG when hit by other squad members which allows Burnice to deal damage and apply Anomaly while not on-field.

During combat your main combo is to swap to Burnice via a Defensive Assist, perform an Assist Follow-Up and then an EX Special to use energy and gain Heat. Tap into a Hold of EX Special allows you to get to a held EX special faster, but costs a little more energy.

Burnice's best weapon in an Anomaly build is her signature Flamemaker Shaker however the Battlepass weapon Electro-Lip Gloss is a competitive alternative at R5. The best option otherwise for F2P players is Weeping Gemini.

Chaos Jazz is by far the best Disk Drive 4-Piece for Burnice but any of the mentioned 2-Piece options are incredibly competitive having only around a 1% difference between them allowing for a lot of freedom in your build. This freedom also comes into play with Burnice's Main Stats where there are many viable options. Anomaly Mastery in Disc 6 is generally best with M1 or when using Weeping Gemini.

The main skills to level with Burnice are her Core, EX Special and Ultimate which she will be using in fights.

Bangboo Information

Burnice's best Bangboo are highly depending on the team she is in or the Anomaly the team is trying to produce.

7.

Burnice White Team Comps and Synergy

Burnice's best teams tend to focus on Disorder. As an off-field DPS, Burnice wants an Anomaly DPS character such as Jane Doe or Piper Wheel.

7.1.

Burnice and Jane Doe Disorder Teams

DPS Off-Field Support Bangboo
Jane Doe Burnice White Lucy Red Moccus
Jane Doe Burnice White Caesar King Bangvolver
Jane Doe Burnice White Seth Lowell Officer Cui

Listed are some examples of the best Jane Doe teams featuring Burnice which are some of her best teams in general. Caesar King is generally your best option however Caesar is incredibly flexible and you may consider using her in a different team instead. Lucy and Seth Lowell then become some of your best options.

7.2.

Other Burnice Disorder Teams

DPS Off-Field Support Bangboo
Tsukishiro Yanagi Burnice White Red Moccus
Piper Wheel Burnice White Lucy Red Moccus
Piper Wheel Burnice White Caesar King Red Moccus

Both Piper Wheel and Tsukishiro Yanagi are great DPS agents to play alongside Burnice.

7.3.

Non-Disorder Burnice Teams

DPS Off-Field Support Bangboo
Soldier 11 Burnice White

Burnice can be played in non-disorder teams however you will not benefit as much using a disorder build and instead want to use the Inferno Metal Disk set and focus more on CRIT after around 200-250 Anomaly Proficiency.
