Flame Director

Why it ranks Tier S

Update 1 raid-exclusive. Paramita Pyre is the raid-only Lyth weapon, listed in-game as Flame Director (Hu Tao). I-frames on every move and an ultimate that one-shots bosses when paired with the Deadeye trait. Many guides skip it — it is top tier. Evolving it needs 25 Ghosts and 10 Staffs of Homa, both Spirited Away drops, plus 1M Gold and 10,000 Gems.

Combat style

I-frames on every move, buffed M1s and skills, one-shot ultimate with Deadeye.

Evolution requirements

Evolving unlocks the weapon's fourth skill — the ultimate move. The full bill:

• 20 Fine Cloth (all Acts + Infinite)
• 8 Magic Pendants (Act 1)
• 25 Ghosts (Spirited Away raid, 33% drop)
• 10 Staffs of Homa (Spirited Away raid, 25% drop, 5-run pity)
• 1,000,000 Gold
• 10,000 Gems

Fine Cloth drops across all chapters and Infinite mode, so it is never the bottleneck — the Act-specific materials and Gems are. Farm with the Fortune trait and drop-rate accessories (Flame Pirate Hat budget option, Blast Archer Wings endgame) to speed it up.

Is Flame Director worth it?

Yes — Flame Director is a chase target. At Lyth rarity the pity is 3,500 spins, so bank codes and plan for the long haul.
