Best Attributes for Flaming Manticore
Regenerating your Flaming Manticore is essential for improving its key attributes, but the process is entirely luck-based. Each regeneration can change its stats, skill slots, and even its rarity, meaning you have no control over the final outcome.
While there are six possible attributes overall, the following three are the most valuable to look out for when building your Flaming Manticore.
Intelligence is the attribute that the core skill Firecage relies on to deal damage. Since Firecage will be your Flaming Manticore’s main damage skill, getting a strong Intelligence roll is extremely important.
Luck is another attribute you should be looking for for the Flaming Manticore. This improves the Follow Up Skill which provides a chance of dealing another Magic Rage Skill after the first.
And finally, Spirit is helpful for improving Firecage’s supporting skill, Advanced Firecage. While Spirit isn’t a top priority, it makes an excellent third roll if you can get it.
Best Skills for Flaming Manticore
For Intelligence, Firecage and Follow Up are essential skills. I also recommend picking up Intense Firecage to improve the core skill further.
Luck skills are mainly focussed on improving the core Follow Up Skill. Intense Follow Up and Advanced Follow Up are what you should be looking to acquire. Magic Fortune is an excellent third choice for improving crit rate if skill slots allow.
Finally, for Spirit, acquire Advanced Firecage and either Resonance or Magic Spirits. These deal extra damage so are good if you have max skill slots.
Best Hero Pairings for Flaming Manticore
The Flaming Manticore is a magic War Pet so should be used with Magic heroes. For the best synergy, pair with either Yun-Ming or Thunderlyn.

Final Tips
Focus on a good Intelligence roll first for better damage output.
Obtain a higher number of skill slots before worrying about attribute rolls too much. It’s better to work on skills then get good rolls later.
Save exchange coins for important skill upgrades such as Firecage.
Capture Flaming Manticore’s that already come equipped with Firecage. This can help you save exchange coins.
Conclusion
Building the Flaming Manticore correctly is important for improving your magic marches damage output in Call of Dragons. This pet is arguably the best pet in the game when paired with Yun-Ming in the current meta.
