Abyssus Flares Aspect
What the Flares Aspect does
Flares is the sustained-damage choice for weapons that can repeatedly create accurate hit or weakpoint windows.
Inflicts Flare (burn damage over time); stacking Flares supports longer fights.
- Pick it when
- Pick it when an elite or boss survives long enough for repeated Flare applications to matter.
- Think twice when
- Skip it when the build already deletes small targets in one hit or cannot apply its chosen trigger consistently.
Best Flares Blessings
Pairs with Shadows setup and deliberate critical weapons such as the Brine Revolver.
Linked Flames
Lets a single strong application contribute to nearby targets.
Stacking Flames
Supports a repeated-hit plan against durable enemies.
Critical Flames
Fits accurate critical or weakpoint weapons.
How to build around Flares
- Choose one reliable way to apply Flares.
- Add spread or duration only after application is consistent.
- Use the remaining slots to protect the weapon’s reload, range, or crowd-clear weakness.

All Flares Blessings
Your primary weapon, secondary weapon, and ability each establish an Aspect slot. The third Blessing from one Aspect unlocks its Minor threshold and the sixth its Major threshold.
