Who is the Flame Source suitable for in Genshin Impact?

The equipment is fully revealed only on heroes that are capable of hitting Star reactionsThe rare damage multiplier only applies to the wearer. Because of this, it's impossible to give it to a support or a hero incapable of dealing star damage.

Among all companions, two types of companions have this ability:

• Heroes with Star Wedge that transform normal reactions into enhanced ones.
• Characters who have passed The Witch's Prophecy and received new abilities in a special field.

Of all the one-handed weapon wielders, only three heroes can fully inflict damage, enhanced by the blade's passive.

Character	Features
Odette	A sub-DD and support for all Star Reactions. Capable of attacking them herself with a special skill. Elemental Mastery She doesn't need it fully, but thanks to the multiplier to Star Scatter and the passive attack fill, the sword will be one of the good F2P solutions. The Dancer skill works. 20 sec. and hits frequently. This will allow her to maintain the bonus until the end of her main damage rotation. Consider her only at R5 due to her high ATK requirements.
Spring	Damage dealt by Star Scattering. The maximum MC required is approximately 150-200, so the required number will already be reached through the sub-stat and there's no need to look for it in artifacts.
Cryo Traveler	The hero will be able to not only independently use the star mechanics, but also inflict damage on the field, being the main damage dealer. Weapon will suit him as a secondary free option if you decide to transfer Blade of Illumination to another companion.

In addition to the mentioned satellites, formally, one can use all passive equipment herbalist Qiqi, but she only has one Star Conductor hit on her ult, so equipping a sword to her doesn't make sense.

The sword's partially functional ability is suitable for companions who value a balance of MS and ATK or only elemental mastery. The blade's stats are equal to To the steel sting, but benefits from stat boosting rather than a damage multiplier. This stat is important for playing with lunar and stellar mechanics.

Character	Features
Kazuha	Ronin is focused exclusively on mastery and distributes elemental damage buffs based on its volume. If he already has Xiphos’ Moonlight, then there's no point in changing it. For a different crafted one-handed sword, consider your own build situation.
Kuki Shinobu	A good MS stat is crucial for the heroine, as it boosts healing and damage thanks to her passive talent, but ATK is completely unnecessary. Among the free ones, she's inferior to Steel Sting, but if she doesn't have the right form and solvents of dreams, then you can give the sword from Snezhnaya.
Alhaitham Keqing Clorinde	Main damage dealers on the field, playing with classic elemental combos and requiring a balance of attack and mastery. They constantly activate reactions, making it easy to keep their passive active. As with other damage dealers, it's best to consider the blade only with awakenings.

How to use this weapon

To receive all the bonuses, the wearer must attack enemies with elemental status and activate reactions at least once every 12 seconds. This can be done in an active role on the field or from the "pocket." Normally, a hero with Star Wedge is needed to unlock the Snow mechanic, but Odette and Traveler can activate Star Reactions themselves.

A sample rotation for a hero with a Flamespring in hand in a Star Conductor squad:

1. Use the skills of buffers and sub-DDs of the Electro element.
2. Bring a blade-wielding hero onto the field and activate their ability to create Guiding Star's Reach. With your first strike, gain an attack boost from the passive.
3. If necessary, trade in extra abilities, like a Ballerina's enhanced E, and then remove the owner from the field.
4. Switch to your primary damage dealer and begin their personal rotation. Continue until the buffs run out, then repeat the rotation from the beginning.

If you use a sword in Star Scatter, reverse the order and leave Cryo on the enemy first, then use the hero's Anemo to create a reaction area. It's not yet clear whether the sword's multiplier will affect the vortex's explosion damage.
