Tactics[edit | edit source]

With Flameblades having similar statistics as Butchers, they can be dealt with relative ease.
- It is best to keep distance as their damage can rip through shields faster than Butchers.
The Flameblade's teleportation may appear to be similar to Ash{"Sprint":"1.15","Description":"Behold the patron saint of the Orokin school of political assassination. Ash specializes in stealth.

As he appears next to his targets, he leaves a small cloud of electric smoke from his previous location. Flameblades leave particles of purple electricity behind. This can be disorienting when approached.
Flameblades pose a decent threat. One swing can deliver searing damage, and your chance to dodge is varied by their ability to teleport from unexpected directions.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

Prior to Update 12.0 (2014-02-05), Flameblades used to be 50% larger than standard Butchers, their large size before was due to their large shields and increased damage prior to Update 11.0 (2013-11-20).

Prior to Update 18.5 (2016-03-04), Flameblades wielded a special variant of the Prova known as a Fire Baton.
