Trivia

Ifrit is a 6★ Blast Caster who specializes in AoE and Debuff. What defines Ifrit as a Blast Caster is that she has a linear range of four (five at Elite 1) tiles ahead and her attacks hit all enemies within said range. This means that even though Ifrit's unusual range is difficult to be utilized effectively in most operations and her DP cost of 34 (from Elite 1) being one of the highest of all Casters and Operators, Ifrit's high ATK at the expense of high attack interval remains effective no matter how many tiles she hits; the following quote represents this well:

“	Burn one tile, nothing is lost. Burn two tiles, great. Burn three tiles, you won the game.	”
	—YouTuber Dreamy

Talents

1. Spiritual Dissolution reduces the RES of enemies within Ifrit's range by a percentage.
2. Rhine Loop periodically has Ifrit restore 2 SP.

Skills

1. Fanaticism buffs Ifrit's ATK and ASPD while active.
2. Pyroclasm causes Ifrit's attack to deal more damage and reduce the DEF of enemies hit by a flat amount for a short time, as well as causing them to take burn damage (not the Elemental Damage) over time when charged, which can store multiple charges at higher levels.
   • Not only Pyroclasm improves Ifrit's damage output, it also makes the victims vulnerable to physical damage, and should be her go-to skill.
3. Scorched Earth constantly damages ground enemies within Ifrit's range and lowers their RES by a flat amount, but drains her HP (which can knock her out) while active.
   • Even though Scorched Earth cannot hit aerial enemies, it is still effective when used against bosses and to make the victims more vulnerable to Arts damage (including Scorched Earth itself), but players should take caution to either support Ifrit with healers or not use it while she is at low HP.

Operator Module

The BLA-X Module, "Syntexis", increases Ifrit's ATK against targets further away from her, up to 1.1×, in addition to increasing her ATK and ASPD. Once upgraded, Rhine Loop now has a chance to have Ifrit restore an additional 5 SP.

Base skill

Heat Charge α increases Drone recovery rate by 10% while Ifrit is assigned to a Power Plant. At Elite 2, Heat Charge α becomes Superheat Charge with a higher Drone recovery boost of 15%.

Summary

Ifrit is an excellent Blast Caster with one of the highest DPS potential among all Operators in Arknights. When used correctly, Ifrit can burn even the toughest of enemies into a crisp with ease, and allow those who loved the smell of napalm in the morning to say "smells like victory".
