Trivia

Firewhistle is a 5★ Fortress Defender who specializes in DPS and Defense. As a Fortress Defender, Firewhistle has a ranged attack which deals splash damage to enemies in a radius of 1 tiles around the target, like that of Artilleryman Snipers but with a shorter range of 2×2 tiles past a minimum range covering the 2×3 tiles ahead of her with a 1-tile extension up front at Elite 2, that she will use when not blocking enemies, but cannot target aerial enemies. Firewhistle can block two enemies which increases to three once she is promoted to Elite 1, have lower DEF than other Defenders to offset her higher ATK, and an above-average DP cost that increases in every promotion.

Talent

Flexible Fighter buffs Firewhistle's ATK while she is not blocking enemies or DEF otherwise.

Skills

1. Wildfire increases the damage dealt by Firewhistle's attack from Level 2 and burns enemies struck, causing them to periodically receive Arts damage equal to a portion of Firewhistle's ATK for a short time, when charged.
   • Wildfire is primarily useful for operations such as Annihilation thanks to the sustained mixed Physical and Arts DPS.
2. Scorched Earth causes Firewhistle's attacks to burn a small radius centered at the point of impact for a short time while active, which periodically deals Arts damage to enemies within.
   • Scorched Earth can be more preferred if she is facing against enemies with decent to good mixed defenses, or even better against those lacking RES, such as Armed Militants and Sandwalkers, given if there are friendly units blocking them to fully maximize the burning zone's damage output.

Operator Module

The FOR-X Module, "Footprints of Growing", increases Firewhistle's ATK against enemies that are being blocked to 1.1× in addition to increasing her ATK and DEF. Once upgraded, Flexible Fighter's ATK/DEF buff is increased.

Base skills

Firewhistle's base skills improve the efficiency of Trading Posts while she is assigned to one.

1. Warm-Up reduces the morale drain rate of Operators in the Trading Post (including Firewhistle herself) by 0.1 per hour.
2. Advocate increases the order acquisition rate by 15% for every other Operator in the Working state on the Trading Post.

Summary

Firewhistle is a solid Fortress Defender who can mitigate enemies with high DEF through her Arts DoT like wildfires that easily burns through even the toughest of trees and the thickest of bushes.

Fear not, R.I.'s Fire Department, as Firewhistile can extinguish fire as easily as she does to her enemies.
