Kalsion is an A-tier Burn heavy hitter. Equip Karma "The Sun Rises Again", 3-piece Blazing Flame + 2-piece Ruinsbreaker, and prioritize ATK, Crit DMG, and Crit Chance with Resolve runes. His best team is Kalien + Aria for the full Burn composition. Aim for 100%+ Crit Rate and ~150% Crit DMG to maximize his burst window. Note: Kalsion is a distinct character from Kalien.

🎯 Playstyle
Kalsion is the King of Orbis and a pure Burn burst dealer. He wields a massive greatsword with slow but devastating strikes that detonate Burn for massive damage. His playstyle revolves around waiting for teammates (Kalien or Aria) to apply Burn, then swapping in to unload his burst window. He is not a sustained DPS — he is a nuke that detonates Burn stacks.

💡 Combat Tips
Wait for Burn Stacks
Kalsion's damage comes from detonating Burn. Let Kalien/Aria stack Burn first, then swap in.
High Crit Investment
Aim for 100%+ Crit Rate and ~150% Crit DMG — his burst window is short and every hit must crit.
Rune Setup
Use 2 ATK + 2 Crit DMG + 1 Crit Rate runes to hit the crit targets.
Burst and Swap
After Sunburst, swap back to Burn appliers to rebuild stacks. Don't stay on Kalsion.
⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Confusing Kalsion with Kalien — they are different characters (Kalsion = King/greatsword, Kalien = fox spirits)
- Using Sunburst before Burn is stacked — the detonation needs max Burn
- Building defensive stats — Kalsion is a pure burst nuke
