Desert FlannelBuild and Guide

Desert Flannel is a 5-Star Support character of the Beast Afflatus. Essentially, she’s a fairly self-reliant support that would work best in mono-Beast teams for various reasons. First, her ultimate, “Beep, Plappy,” is a mass heal that also grants allies 2 stacks of [Power Burst], which is a DMG boost, and additionally, 2 stacks of [Momentum], which boost Incantation Might to Beast-type characters. So while this does boost non-Beast characters, it benefits them much more if they were one. What's more, at Insight 3, she gains 1 moxie when entering combat for every Beast Afflatus ally in battle. This allows her to quickly get her ultimate up near the start of the battle, an Ultimate which, as mentioned, also boosts her Beast allies extra.

All of this makes her 100% the best choice by far in Beast Afflatus teams. But of course, she does have uses that would benefit both teams (aside from the already mentioned Mass Heal ULT and Buffs), so let's take a look at her kit aside from the Beast-specific things. Her skill, “Only Family,” is a self-counter that applies up to 3 stacks of [Plappy], depending on the star level, which works the same way as NewBabel’s follow up attack, and also up to 2 stacks of [Burst of Strength] to self, increasing her damage when attacking by 25%. Her counter here is quite important because it boosts her damage significantly. Plus it directly interacts with other parts of her kit, such as her other skill, Mixed Doubles, which is just a regular single-target attack. However, if she has a buff or a counter, the Critical Rate and Critical DMG will be increased by 25%. Similarly, her Insight I also gives her an increase in her Critical Rate under the same conditions.

Desert Flannel is pretty easy to use; she’s a DMG Buff character for herself and the whole team, but especially for mono-Beast Afflatus teams, which is where you should be using her.
