Flames of Judgment is a late-game reward that can significantly boost your damage if you’re using fire abilities. Since it’s tied to story progression, you won’t miss it, but knowing its value helps you build around it properly.
If you’re planning a fire build, this is a core piece of your setup. Are you running a fire build, or sticking with raw damage?
When do you unlock Flames of Judgment?
During Chapter 8 of the main story.
