When you play on the defending side inStrinova, the goal is to mainly sit in different sites and wait for the attackers to push. This is primarily because you have no idea where the enemies are, and if you try to push them, they’ll hear you and easily defeat you, especially if you’re alone.

However, things are different when you play aggressive agents like Flavia since she has the ability support to freely flank the enemies and easily back out if they’re expecting you and try to defeat you.

Flavia Abilities, Explained

Here are all the abilities that helpFlavia be an aggressive charactereven on defense:

Phantom Mirage

For this skill’s duration, if Flavia takes damage to her HP, she transforms into a butterfly, becoming invincible for a bit while alsoleaving a phantom orb that near-sights the enemy, which can be destroyed.

Retribution

The cooldown for Flavia’s skill decreases as she takes damage, andshe can even get some temporary ultimate pointswhen on low health.

Phantom Flutter

Creates a sphere at your location, making you invisible to enemies outside it unless you attack them. If an enemy inside the sphere defeats you, you’llinstead trigger the phantom butterfly effectfrom the skill.

This can be done multiple times as long as you’re in the sphere and the enemy attacking you is as well.

Due to this, there might be times when you almost defeat an enemy but they have a bit of HP left as your bullets run out. For these situations, Athena is the perfect secondary weapon.

you may alsouse this to deal a bit of long-range poke damageto the enemies since Flavia’s SMG doesn’t deal a lot of damage at range. As for the tactical items, the best ones to use with Flavia are a normal grenade and a smoke bomb. Since Flavia needs to flank the enemies often, you can check off-angles with the grenade.

Once you’re in a game with her, you can also get certainupgrades to make her gain HP when her skill is triggered. The Butterfly Veil awaken ability is the better one since it allows you to turn into a butterfly on demand instead of relying on the skill’s duration. However, Butterfly Armor might be a better one at high ranks since people will shoot the orb.
