· Escanor's core mechanic involves stacking 'Sunstack' through attacks, which activates 'Flare' for a significant damage bonus.
· The goal is to quickly accumulate Sunstacks and maximize the duration of the Flare state.
· To achieve this, the 'Greed's Soul Axe' and SSR engraved equipment are essential.
· Greed's Soul Axe increases flame damage by up to 84% as stacks accumulate, while SSR engraved equipment extends Flare duration by up to 10 seconds and increases the chance of gaining additional Sunstacks upon attacking.
· With these two key pieces of equipment, Escanor's combat cycle becomes much smoother and more powerful.
· Greed's Soul Axe can be crafted in 'Fergus Mine' and 'Gallon'.

Equipment	Effect
Greed's Soul Axe	Up to 84% Flame Damage Increase per Stack
SSR Engraved Equipment	Flare Duration Increase (Max +10 sec) Increased chance to gain additional Sunstacks when activating Sunstack

· Concentrated Sun (Special Attack): Used for stacking, it can be utilized effectively once you're familiar with boss patterns. Its long animation makes it prone to missing due to boss movements, so be cautious.
· Pride of Arrogance (Normal Attack): Unleashes flames over a wide area, dealing powerful damage. It's good to use on cooldown and provides additional Sunstack.
· Ultimate Usage:
- Solo Use: If you have 2 or more Magic Points, use it immediately for high burst damage. Damage significantly increases with more Magic Points (up to 350%).
- Combined Attack: Enhances Escanor's survivability and deals damage over time. Useful for putting enemies into an Elemental Burst state.
· The best way to use the ultimate depends on your team composition, the situation, and your objective; there's no single best method. For a Flame Burst team, consider a combined attack; for immediate burst damage, consider solo use.

· Ultimate Endgame Comp: Escanor, Slater, Manni, Daisi
- This team maximizes Escanor's critical damage for top-tier DPS.
- Slater: Applies a debuff that increases enemy damage taken by 50% on the first hit, reduces enemy crit resistance with his special attack, and increases his own crit damage. His SSR engraved equipment can extend debuff duration.
- Manni: Creates a magic circle that increases critical damage by 45% and speeds up Magic Gauge charge. Effects are maximized at Tier 5.
- Daisi: With new SSR engraved equipment, increases all allies' crit rate by 10% and, on critical hits against enemies with reduced crit resistance, reduces their crit defense. This synergizes perfectly with Slater's debuff.

Character	Primary Role & Effect
Escanor	Main DPS, utilizes Sunstack and Flare mechanics
Slater	Debuffer, reduces crit resistance, increases damage taken
Manni	Support, increases crit damage, speeds up Magic Gauge charge
Daisi	Support, increases overall crit rate, reduces crit defense

· Beginner Recommended Team: Escanor, Slater, Manni, Tio
- If Daisi is unavailable, Tio can be used as a support for stable healing and survivability.
- Tio's passive skill restores HP upon switching, with increased recovery at Tier 4 or higher.
· Team Compositions Utilizing Gilda:
- Gilda & Flame Burst: Utilize Gilda's Flame Burst to trigger Elemental Burst and enhance Escanor's damage. The strategy involves setting up Manni's field, starting with Slater, switching to Gilda for Flame Burst, and finishing with Escanor.
- Gilda & Shield: Gilda's shield increases allies' flame damage by 30%, but the effect disappears when the shield breaks, so use it situationally.
· Affordable Combined Ultimate Team: Tristan & Daisi
- The combined ultimate of Tristan and Escanor has a low activation cost, allowing for quick usage.

· Maximizing Critical Hit Rate:
- Fruit and Meat Pie (17% Attack, 12% Crit Rate)
- Arachne Set (10% Crit Rate)
- Ring (approx. 8% Crit Rate)
- Daisi Set (10% Crit Rate)
- With this combination, Escanor's critical hit rate can be increased to approximately 74%.
· Combat Simulation (Training Ground):
- Prepare buffs with Daisi and Manni, land the first hit with Slater, then switch to Escanor.
- Use the ultimate during the Flare state for massive damage.
- Utilize Manni's magic circle to quickly charge the Magic Gauge and prepare for the next ultimate cycle.
- The key is to maximize crit-related stats through the synergy of Slater and Daisi, and shorten attack cycles with Manni's buffs.

· Escanor requires careful stack management and timing of the Flare state, making him a somewhat skill-intensive character.
· Performance can be limited without SSR engraved equipment and his exclusive weapon, so acquiring these is essential.
· Due to high Magic Gauge consumption, pairing him with supports who offer good Magic Gauge recovery is crucial.
· While less versatile than Meliodas, his burst damage potential through ultimate usage is exceptional.
· If new characters with excellent Magic Gauge generation are released in the future, Escanor's ultimate combo potential is expected to increase further.
· To fully unlock the character's potential, consistent practice and optimal build configuration are necessary.
