==Use==
While active, Firebird Trance replaces and with and , and it resets the recast timer of on use. Fountain of Fire and Brand of Purgatory deal heavy single-target and area of effect damage, respectively.
Firebird Trance replaces when Dreadwyrm ends, and turns back into Dreadwyrm when used. The two Trances share their recast timer, and both require a full Aetherflow Gauge to use. The Trances must compete with , , and for Aetherflow, though the latter abilities use only a single unit. Aetherflow can be gathered fairly quickly in PvP using , and Tri-disaster generates it as well. The Summoner PvP rotation generally involves balancing the use of the single-Aetherflow abilities while ensuring the Summoner has a full gauge ready to use the Trances on cooldown.
