Thunderstorm Scorchhowl's best team consists of Sparkelf, Luminelle, and Somniwing. Sparkelf provides Thunderstorm Scorchhowl with strong Fire buffs that improves its overall damage output. Luminelle's Self-Destruction amplifies Thunderstorm Scorchhowl's Lightning Kick damage, while its Lightning Surge grants it increased basic attack damage and BREAK efficiency. Somniwing provides sufficient EP recovery for the team.

Alternative Aniimo Options

Besauce IconBesauce
Besauce can be a substitute for Luminelle. It can apply a Lightning resistance debuff to enemies using its Electric Dance Frenzy, allowing Thunderstorm Scorchhowl's Lightning Kick do deal more damage. It can also provide additional EP recovery.

If you want to go full Fire team, replace Luminelle with Inferlupa.

Best Skills

Burn BreakerBurn Breaker Lightning KickLightning Kick Falling StarFalling Star
(Ultimate)

Thunderstorm Scorchhowl’s strongest skill is Burn Breaker, which unleashes massive damage on enemies directly in front of it, especially when used with full EP. Its second skill, Lightning Kick, is the Lightning‑type variation of Fire Kick. When Lightning Kick successfully dodges an attack, its damage increases and the target is inflicted with Paralysis, making it a versatile offensive and counterplay tool.

Best Personality
E S F P

Prioritize getting E and S for Thunderstorm Scorchhowl to maximize its damage output. F and P are low priority but would an ideal addition for better defense.

Thunderstorm Scorchhowl's best stats are Attack and Regen. Attack helps increase Thunderstorm Scorchhowl's damage, while Regen helps it recover EP faster, allowing it to deal more damage with Burn Breaker.

Best Held Item

Explosive Gloves Icon Explosive Gloves Main Stat Damage Amp
Rarity Legendary
Effects
Core Effect: Increases Damage Amp by 5% for every 10 EP currently available.
Tier 1 Effect: Increases the DMG boost per 10 EP to 7.5%.

Explosive Gloves synergizes well with Burn Breaker, as it increases Thunderstorm Scorchhowl's damage based on how much EP it has left. Because it calculates the damage buff when you first use the skill, Thunderstorm Scorchhowl gets the maximum possible damage buff, making Burn Breaker deal massive damage.

Should You Form a Contract with Your Held Item?

Burn Breaker IconBurn Breaker
【BOOSTED】
Thunderstorm Scorchhowl now moves up to 6 meters towards the target when releasing a fully charged Burn Breaker.

We don't recommend forming a contract since the boosted effect does not increase the skill's damage output, only adding a dash to the skill when used. Since you will mostly be using this skill on a stationary target, and since the skill's area of effect is pretty large, there is no need to form a contract.

How to Play Thunderstorm Scorchhowl

Recommended Skill Rotation

  1. Use Sparkelf's Inspiration and Keep the Fire Bolt Going! to amplify Thunderstorm Scorchhowl's Fire skills and Luminelle's Self-Destruction to increase Lightning Kick's damage.
  2. Swap to Thunderstorm Scorchhowl and use a fully-charged Burn Breaker. If the enemy attacks, use Lightning Kick to dodge.
  3. Switch again to Luminelle and use Lightning Surge to amplify Thunderstorm Scorchhowl's basic attack damage and BREAK efficiency.
  4. Switch to your Regen Aniimo to recover EP, then repeat the rotation.

Use Against Enemies Weak to Fire and/or Lightning

As a dual Fire/Lightning type, Thunderstorm Scorchhowl is effective against enemies weak to either element, giving it broad flexibility in elemental matchups. While no aniimo is weak to both Fire and Lightning simultaneously, those with dual typings that include weaknesses to either element still take significantly increased damage, allowing Thunderstorm Scorchhowl to exploit multiple vulnerabilities at once.

An example of this is Somniwing, which is both Grass and Wind. Since Grass is weak to Fire and Wind is weak to Lightning, Somniwing takes increased damage from Thunderstorm Scorchhowl.

Type Chart: All Element Weaknesses

Have One Lightning and One Fire Support on the Team

When using Thunderstorm Scorchhowl’s exclusive Lightning skill, Lightning Kick, it’s essential to have one Lightning support like Luminelle and one Fire support like Sparkelf on the team. The Lightning support applies debuffs that amplify Lightning Kick's damage, while the Fire support enhances Thunderstorm Scorchhowl’s Fire skills. This dual support setup ensures Thunderstorm Scorchhowl consistently deals maximum damage across both elements.

Best Support Aniimo

Capitalize on Lightning Kick's Paralysis Effect

When Thunderstorm Scorchhowl successfully dodges an attack with Lightning Kick, it inflicts Paralysis on hit targets for 5 seconds, reducing their movement and basic attack speed by 60%. This debuff creates a critical window of vulnerability, allowing you to push the offense and unleash maximum damage while enemies are slowed and unable to retaliate effectively. The effect is also valuable in PvP and Pathfinder challenges, as it can slow down the opponents' DPS aniimo, greatly reducing their efficiency.

How to Unlock Lightning Kick

Fully Charge Burn Breaker With Max EP

Burn Breaker's damage scales off of two things: charge duration and available EP. Pressing the skill will deal the least damage, while charging it until it casts on its own will deal the maximum amount of damage. Using Burn Breaker when you have 30 EP will deal the minimum amount of damage to enemies, with the damage increasing by 30% for every extra 10 EP. However, do take note that Burn Breaker will use up all of your EP when charged to full.
