Desert Flannel

Short answer: Desert Flannel is a 5-Star, Beast-Afflatus Arcanist who deals Reality damage and works as a Support, DPS unit. Like every Arcanist, Desert Flannel hits harder when you respect the Afflatus wheel, so field Desert Flannel where the Beast advantage actually lands.

Afflatus and Matchups

Desert Flannel uses the Beast Afflatus. That means Desert Flannel has the advantage against Plant units and is at a disadvantage into Mineral units. The two element triangles never cross, so plan a small bench around them rather than forcing one team into every stage. The full breakdown lives on the Afflatus system page.

Role and Damage

Desert Flannel deals Reality damage and is built for Support, DPS duties. Reality and Mental are the game's two damage types, and matching your carry's damage type to an enemy's weaker defense is a quiet but real power gain. Pair Desert Flannel with teammates that cover the roles Desert Flannel does not.

Building Desert Flannel

Invest in one carry at a time and gear Desert Flannel with the best-fitting Psychube you have before spreading materials thin. As a 5-Star Arcanist, Desert Flannel is summoned from the gacha, so read the pity system before you spend: a 6-star is guaranteed by 70 pulls and the featured Arcanist is guaranteed within two 6-stars.
