Recommended Characters for Heretic's Molten Blade

Recommended Characters
Alhaitham	Clorinde	Keqing
Odette	Lynette

Best for Fast-Moving Sword Units

Due to the nature of its scaling ATK bonus, Heretic's Molten Blade is great for characters that have movement built into their combos, especially someone like Clorinde.

In the case of Keqing and Alhaitham, their blinks count as movement tools, and Zibai's attacks have mini-bursts of movement in them since she's prone to knocking enemies back.
