Flins is a 5-star Electro Polearm DPS whose Burst-centered kit, Ancient Ritual: Cometh the Night, carries his damage windows. He can run several strong 4-star supports, which keeps team building flexible in endgame. Pull Flins if you want that Electro on-fielder and already have (or plan to get) Ineffa for his best teams.
