Tactics
- With Flameblades having similar statistics as Butchers, they can be dealt with relative ease.
- It is best to keep distance as their damage can rip through shields faster than Butchers.
- The Flameblade's teleportation may appear to be similar to
Ash's Teleport. As he appears next to his targets, he leaves a small cloud of electric smoke from his previous location. Flameblades leave particles of purple electricity behind. This can be disorienting when approached. - Flameblades pose a decent threat. One swing can deliver searing damage, and your chance to dodge is varied by their ability to teleport from unexpected directions.

Patch History
Update 22.0 (2017-10-12)
- Removed stagger on hit from Grineer Flameblade units.
Update 18.5 (2016-03-04)
- Grineer Flameblade has now been given a flaming blade! To compensate for this lack of firepower we have given the Grineer Flameblade two flame axes. These attacks have a high chance to proc burning, which will hopefully make the Flameblade feel a little better.
