The Flame Aura - Unscathed RNG Wiki
Uncommon Fire Aura at 1 in 1,300 with the first complete Normal plus Critical kit in Unscathed — Ember Slash, Inferno Burst, and why it stays S-tier.
Overview
Flame is the Uncommon Fire Aura that rolls at 1 in 1,300 odds and sells for 200 EXP. It is the earliest realistically obtainable Aura with a complete Normal and Critical skill set, making it the community's favorite starter. This guide covers its skills, synergies, and long-term use. See the Aura Tier List for S-rank context.
Flame on the Tier List
The aura tier list video ranks every aura by combat strength, and Flame sits in the S tier as the best early kit. Watching the ranking gives perspective on why an Uncommon can outclass rarer auras in fights. Pair the video with our All Auras page for the full roster and rarity data.
Why Flame Is the Best Starter Aura
Flame is the first Aura most players can realistically obtain with a full combat kit: Ember Slash as a reliable Normal and Inferno Burst as a hard-hitting Critical. Early alternatives like Brushed and Nunchucks have no Critical skill at all. That complete coverage is why it ranks S-tier. Compare the ranking on the Aura Tier List.
PGG's tier-list analysis is blunt: do not swap Flame out just because its rarity is Uncommon. Rarity does not raise damage in Unscathed, so Flame's two-skill kit keeps pace with rarer auras for a long time. It represents the first real combat power jump. The beginner guide recommends keeping it through the early acts.
Flame Skill Values
Flame's skills follow the standard combat model. Ember Slash deals 0.33 times damage with perfect accuracy for 15 PP, while Inferno Burst deals full damage with a 70 percent hit chance. Managing the 15 PP pool is the whole game. Our PvP guide covers the shared damage model.
Numbers tell only half the story. The Normal skill is your safe filler, while the Critical is the finisher for high-health targets. Against moving players, the 70 percent hit chance on Inferno Burst makes positioning matter a great deal. Learn the practical rhythm in the tier list notes.
| Skill | Type | Damage | Accuracy | PP Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ember Slash | Normal | 0.33× | 100% | 15 PP |
| Inferno Burst | Critical | 1× | 70% | 15 PP |
| Basic Punch | Fallback | 0.17× | 100% | 0 PP |
How to Use Flame
From your first equip, Flame changes how you fight. Use Ember Slash to pressure enemies and save Inferno Burst for the moment an enemy is low or close. Even in story fights, the two-skill rhythm outperforms punch-only auras by a wide margin. The beginner guide covers the tutorial fights.
The S-tier value shows in progression. Because rarity does not boost damage, Flame's kit stays competitive through the mid acts while you save for stronger pulls. The Inferno biome adds 35 percent Fire luck, making it easier to farm more Fire auras over time. See the biomes guide for the element windows.
Later, Flame supports Fire-focused builds. Element luck skill points, Fire traits, and Inferno biome rolls all feed a Fire roster, and Flame remains a solid fallback even after rarer Fire auras arrive. Keep one equipped as a backup for hard fights. Track every Fire aura on the All Auras page.

Flame Synergies

The result is a Fire farm that keeps producing useful pulls for your roster. The Luck Guide explains the exact stacking order.

Luck Potions
Stack with biome and trait bonuses for better odds.
Element Luck Nodes
Skill points raise your Fire-element roll odds.

Flame Key Facts
Flame is the S-tier pick on the PGG combat tier list because it is the earliest complete kit in the game. Its 1 in 1,300 odds are generous, its 200 EXP sell value is solid, and the Fire element pairs perfectly with the Inferno biome. See the tier list for the full ranking.
Compared with Pyrestorm, the Epic Fire aura with a complete kit, Flame still wins on value per roll because its odds are far friendlier. Both follow the same damage model, so the extra rarity rarely pays off in fights. Keep Flame until something clearly better arrives. Read the tier list comparison.
