Blair’s Active Skills in The First Descendant orientate around inflicting enemies with the Burn status, which he can capitalize on due to his Passive Skill. He is a damage-over-time character.
Blair’s Active Skills are:
- Blaze Up: Spews fire and creates a Flame Zone on the ground. Enemies standing in the Flame Zone receive continuous damage and are inflicted with Burn.
- Extinguish: Retrieves the Flame Zones created on the battlefield and recovers MP in proportion to the amount retrieved.
- Burn Taste: Fires a flame forward. Enemies hit by the flame take continuous damage and are inflicted with Burn.
- Deadly Cuisine: Fires a Giant Fireball forward. On explosion, the Giant Fireball deals Burst damage to nearby enemies and divides into multiple Small Fireballs that create additional explosions.
Blair’s Passive Skill in The First Descendant is Pitmaster, which increases Skill Critical Hit Damage on enemies afflicted with Burn. His Skill Critical Hit Rate is also boosted based on the number of Flame Zones on the battlefield.
Best Blair weapons in The First Descendant
Greg’s Reversed Fate is the best weapon for Blair in The First Descendant. It applies Burn to the enemy hit and it creates a three-meter bombardment when striking an enemy with max shields. I also recommend Secret Garden, as it can provide resource generation.
Blair is mostly a close-range fighter, so weapons like SMGs and Shotguns are useful if you find one you like—but it’s worth having at least one ranged weapon to pick enemies off from distance where applicable.
Best Blair Reactors in The First Descendant
Burning Phase should be the focus for any Reactor in The First Descendant. It boosts Fire and Dimension Skills—the types that Blair has at his disposal. Burning Singularity is a decent option too, as it also boosts Fire.
Finding the right Reactor depends on luck, however. You should look for a Reactor that provides the Optimization Condition for the Ultimate Weapon you are using.
