The Ash of War: Flaming Strike is an Ash of War in Elden Ring that grants the Fire affinity and the Flaming Strike skill. It is picked up mid-game, in Redmane Castle.
Flaming Strike spreads a burst of flame from the wielder's free hand in a wide frontward arc. A strong attack input follows up with a lunging, sweeping strike that also coats the weapon in fire for 40 seconds. The fire coating adds flat fire damage to the weapon whatever its affinity. It suits Strength builds and any build that wants a cheap fire burst plus a long-lasting weapon buff.
