Flame Breathing - Project Slayers 2 Wiki
How to reach the Flame trainer, its moves, and the burn damage identity that defines the style.
Overview
Flame Breathing is the launch build's burn-pressure style: it trades the wide arcs of Wind Breathing for tighter swings that punish a single target and leave damage ticking after the combo ends. Community pages describe a five-move kit with one cinematic finisher, and that identity holds up in bossing and duels alike.
Reaching the trainer is the hard part. The Flame teacher sits in a small house beyond the Rengu boss area on the harbor route, past Mistfall Harbor, so the trip doubles as an introduction to the region's bosses. The shared gate is level 25, 5,000 Wen, 30 Demon Horns and 5 Beast Cores.
Flame Breathing in Motion
This showcase run covers the full breathing roster in the release build, so it doubles as a preview of how Flame's tighter swings compare with the wider styles. Watch the finisher timing closely, because the cinematic move is where a clean combo converts into real damage.
How to Reach the Flame Trainer
The Flame route is less of a puzzle than most trainers. Start from Windy Peak, work along the harbor route, pass the Rengu boss arena, and look for the small house beyond it. You do not need to defeat Rengu first, though the detour is worth taking for the Flame Katana drop.
Materials remain the real gate. Demon Horns and Beast Cores drop from demons at night in caves and in the open world, so farm them in loops between quests. The Wen farming side of the fee is easier, since quest rewards scale as you level.
Once you unlock the style, spend your first points on the moves you will actually chain. Flame rewards players who commit to a target and manage stamina between swings, so defensive filler and mobility nodes keep you alive while the damage passives arrive later in the progression route.
Reach level 25
Clear the early Windy Peak quest chain until your character level reaches the trainer floor.
Bank 5,000 Wen
Quest rewards and sold junk cover the fee quickly if you are not spending on cosmetic rerolls.
Farm 30 Demon Horns and 5 Beast Cores
Run night-time demon routes through caves and open terrain until both counters are full.
Travel the harbor route
Head out past Mistfall Harbor and follow the coast until the Rengu boss arena comes into view.
Find the small house and train
The Flame teacher waits beyond the Rengu area; hand over the materials and finish the training to unlock the style.
Flame Breathing Requirements
The table collects the requirements the Flame trainer shares with the rest of the roster. Nothing here is Flame-specific except the destination, which is why players often unlock two styles in one farming session when the materials stretch. Pair the grind with a fast leveling plan so the Wen arrives on its own.
Read the drop column carefully. Horns and cores come from demons that only appear after dark, and the easiest farming loops sit near caves rather than open fields. If a night cycle ends mid-farm, bank what you have and pick the route up again rather than forcing the last few kills.
| Requirement | Value | Where to get it |
|---|---|---|
| Level | 25 | Questing from Windy Peak onward |
| Wen | 5,000 | Quest rewards and sold junk |
| Demon Horns | 30 | Night-time demon drops in caves and the open world |
| Beast Cores | 5 | Night-time demon drops in caves and the open world |
| Style focus | Single-target burn damage | Inherent to Flame Breathing |
| Signature katana | Flame Katana | Rengu, harbor route, 5% drop |
What Flame Breathing Does Well
Flame's damage profile is narrow and deep. Swings track a single target better than the Wind Breathing arcs, and burn pressure keeps health bars moving between your combos. The trade is reach: you have to close distance yourself, which makes movement skills and stamina management part of the damage rotation rather than optional extras.
Burn pressure
Damage keeps ticking after the combo ends, so fights finish on your terms.
Single-target focus
Tighter swings track one opponent instead of spreading damage across a crowd.
Flame Katana
Drops from Rengu on the harbor route at a five percent rate.
Rengoku synergy
The Rengoku clan adds burn-enhanced M1s on top of the kit.
Flame Playstyle and Damage Windows
The style's ceiling comes from stacking. Burn effects, clan bonuses and mastery damage all multiply the same short combo window, so a Flame player who lands a full string and disengages cleanly will out-trade most generalist kits. Miss the window and the long recovery leaves you open, which is the main risk.
Pair it with a clan that matches the burn theme. The Rengoku clan is the obvious fit, granting large health and stamina pools, a 26% damage factor, burn-enhanced M1s and damage reflection, and the Rengoku clan guide breaks down the exact numbers.
Flame Breathing Checklist
Flame's unlock is a travel plan more than a fight. Line up the level, the Wen and the night drops, then walk the harbor route past the Rengu arena until you spot the small house. The same trip doubles as your first look at the region's locations.
- Reach level 25
- Save 5,000 Wen
- Farm 30 Demon Horns and 5 Beast Cores after dark
- Learn Wall Climb for the coastal ledges
- Train with the Flame teacher in the small house past Rengu
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the Flame Breathing trainer in Project Slayers 2?
In a small house beyond the Rengu boss area on the harbor route, past Mistfall Harbor. You do not have to beat Rengu to reach the house, though most players fight him anyway for the Flame Katana.
What moves does Flame Breathing have?
Community pages list Unknowing Fire, Flame Tiger variants and Purgatory, plus one cinematic finisher. Exact frame data shifts between patches, so confirm the current numbers in game rather than trusting older clips.
What level do you need for Flame Breathing?
Level 25, the same floor as every other breathing trainer. Reach it through the early Windy Peak quests, then bank 5,000 Wen and farm the night-time materials before travelling.
Is Flame Breathing good for bosses?
Yes. The burn profile is built around sustained single-target pressure, so long boss fights reward a clean combo string more than they reward the wide mobbing kits.
Does the Rengoku clan help Flame Breathing?
It is the closest match. Rengoku grants +185 health, +125 stamina, a 26% damage factor and burn-enhanced M1s, all of which stack with a burn-focused kit. See the clan page for the full list.
What weapon does Flame Breathing use?
The Flame Katana, dropped by Rengu at roughly five percent. Reforging upgrades it later, and the forging guide explains the V2 material order.
Do I need Wall Climb for Flame Breathing?
It helps on the harbor route's coastal ledges but is not the hard requirement it is for serpent or thunder. Level 25, the Wen fee and the night-farm materials are the real blockers.
