Laevatain's Skill Priority

Laevatain's primary source of damage comes from her Ultimate Twilight and her Battle Skill Smouldering Fire, making them by far the most important of her skills to prioritize for upgrading. While her Combo Skill Seethe is good and can help to build up Melting flame stacks and Ultimate charge, it is her Ultimate enhancing her Basic Attack, Flaming Cinders, that need to be prioritized first to maximize her damage, before investing in the other skills.

How to Play Laevatain

Laevatain is a Heat Damage monster whose Battle Skill has the ability to summon a Magma Fragment, and trigger temporary Combustion to all enemies in a large area. She also generates Ultimate Energy when the forced Combustion triggers. At launch she is slated to becoming the best AoE character in the game, with her Ultimate offering Sustained AoE damage and allowing her third basic attack to apply Heat Infliction.

Melting Flame stacks and Combustion are key to her playstyle, so acquiring them via her Battle and Combo Skills will speed up her Ultimate replenishment, which should be prioritized when entering combat. You will want to stack 4 Melting Flame stacks as quickly as possible, so that using her Battle Skill once more will trigger the forced Combustion Effect.
