Flamestrike (Lightning Returns)

Flamestrike is a physical ability for Lightning in Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. It deals physical fire-elemental damage to a single target.
==Obtained==
Flamestrike can be obtained through several methods. A Flamestrike Lv. 2 can be found in a treasure chest in the Patron's Palace's Passageway. 
The command also has a chance of being dropped from Neelas with a 7.5% chance, Zaltyses with a 10% chance, and Dreadnoughts with a 10% chance. The Zaltyses will have a 50% drop rate if players sever their tails, while Dreadnoughts will increase to 30% if their arms are destroyed. The enemies drop different levels of the ability on the following days and difficulties:
Enemy 	Lv. 1 	Lv. 2 	Lv. 3 	Lv. 4 	Lv. 5
Neela 	N/A 	N/A 	Day 13 (Easy/Normal) 	N/A 	Day 13 (Hard)
Zaltys 	Day 1 - 6 (Easy/Normal)	Day 7 - 9 (Easy/Normal)	Day 10 - 13 (Easy/Normal)	Day 1 - 6 (Hard)	Day 7 - 13 (Hard)
Dreadnought	Day 1 - 6 (Easy/Normal)	Day 7 - 9 (Easy/Normal)	Day 10 - 13 (Easy/Normal)	Day 1 - 6 (Hard)	Day 7 - 13 (Hard)
==Mechanics==
Flamestrike deals physical fire-elemental damage to a single foe. It has an ATB cost of 15, an attack power of 0.40, Stagger Power of C, Stagger Time of E, and a Combo of 5. When fully upgraded, Flamestrike Lv.5 can have an ATB cost of 10, an attack power of 2.55, a Stagger Power of C, and a Stagger Time of E.
When under the effects of Enfire, Flamestrike's damage and stagger power will increase a bit, while also gaining a small area of effect to hit nearby targets. The attack shares the same animation as the Fira magic ability.
Fang uses Flamestrike to opponents weak against fire when she is a guest party member.
