How to getNightmare Spirited Away raid
Flame Director is Hu Tao's LYTH fire weapon. It drops from the Nightmare Spirited Away raid (shown as Spirit's Bathtub), which also drops the Ghost and Staff of Homa you need to awaken it.
Skills
- Fire combos
- Fire-focused attacks for a damage build; Beebom adds fast attacks and i-frames that make it safer than other A-tier picks.
How to get Flame Director
- Run Spirited Away on Nightmare. It is raid-only; Arsenal spins will not give it.
- Move out of No Face's ground warnings, attack after the pattern ends, and watch for the clone around half health.
How strong is Flame Director?
A tier on our Anime Zero tier list. Good fire damage and a raid route where the weapon and its awakening drops come from the same place; ranked A by the median list.
