Pyrois F2P Team

Pyrois is a free character, so they fit in well with most F2P teams, like your starting characters.

Pyrois Chain Team

This team focuses on Pyrois' specialty in dealing superior DMG to stunned enemies.

character_name Skill Priority

Pyrois relies heavily on managing Solar Prominence to access enhanced attacks and Ultimate variations. Prioritize Core Skill and Basic Attack first to maximize damage output. The four Ultimates offer versatile situational effects, so upgrading Chain Attack soon after Core Skill is recommended.
