# Flash — Anime Apocalypse Trait

**Tier:** S · **Rarity:** mythic
**Credibility:** tier_1_discord · **As of:** 2026-05-13

## Effect

+20% DMG · +25% ATK SPD · +20% CDR · +7 Walkspeed · +7% Coins · +7 EXP · +5% Lifesteal · +40 HP — the meta-best Survival/Infinite trait.

## Notes

**Flash** is the consensus best trait for **Survival** and **Infinite** modes. The kit gives flat bonuses to every stat column that matters — DMG, Attack Speed, CDR, mobility, Lifesteal, HP — making it the only trait that's "good everywhere".

## Stats (Foong _Meta Build_ thread, 2026-05-10)

| DMG | ATK SPD | CDR | Walkspeed | Coins | EXP | Lifesteal | HP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| **20%** | **25%** | **20%** | **+7** | 7% | 7% | 5% | +40 |

Flash is the **only trait in the game with bonuses to all 8 columns simultaneously** — every other trait specializes in 4-5 columns. The +20% CDR is the standout: it cycles every ability's `g` and `v` skills faster, multiplying total DPS in long fights.
