 Rin Tohsaka

Life Should Be Cast to Flame is a great light cone for Erudition characters who are able to benefit from the damage buff effect the light cone provides. On top of the damage buff, the DEF ignore provided is sure to boost the character's damage output as well.
The energy restoration provided is also very useful especially when the character wants to use their ultimate as frequently as possible.
Is Life Should Be Cast to Flames Worth It?
Anaxa's Signature Light Cone
Life Should Be Cast to Flames provides Anaxa with an amazing damage buff which he effortlessly benefits from due to the nature of his kit.
It also provides him with a much needed energy restoration due to his Max Energy being slightly higher among the other Erudition characters.
Should You Pull?
The only Erudition character who can make full use of this Light Cone is Anaxa. So if you do not have him, it is not recommended to pull for this Light Cone for other Erudition characters.
