“ | Bahaha! Who would have thought my search for the Jamba Heart pieces would lead me back to you and your puffery! This must be the fiery flames of fate at work! Ooooh yeaaaah! My flames and I are fully stoked now! Beware, you puny pink pest! In the name of Lord Hyness... I'll turn you into a burning ball of meddlesomeness! | ” | — Flamberge in Kirby Star Allies |
Flamberge is a boss who made her debut in Kirby Star Allies. She is described as the Blazing General of the Three Mage-Sisters (the other two being Francisca and Zan Partizanne), and serves Hyness, the main antagonist of the game.
In contrast to Francisca (who is Ice-based), Flamberge mainly uses fire in battle. She carries a wavy sword with a fiery enchantment, and also uses a flamethrower.
Flamberge is faced in the Inner Sanctum and Sizzlai Moon stages in Story Mode. She can also be fought in Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go! and The Ultimate Choice.
Attacks
“ | One of the three Jambastion mages, the Blazing General Flamberge rains fiery vengeance upon any who stand in her way. She gets pretty mad if anyone does anything to upset Francisca. In fact, she's kind of riled up right now… | ” | — Pause flavor text of Flamberge (1st battle in Inner Sanctum) in Story Mode and Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go! |
The following lists all of Flamberge's attacks. Attacks in italics are used during the second phase only.

Berge Finish | Flamberge swings her sword to send 4-way fireballs. |

BBQ Skewer | Flamberge begins with this attack during the second phase of her first battle.
Flamberge jumps and thrusts down her sword, making a stone on impact stuck on her sword like a barbeque stick. She will do this 4 times in a row. |
Scorching Sword Plunge | Flamberge conjures 4 flaming swords and tosses them onto the ground. Each sword creates a fire pillar. The flaming swords can be cooled down to yield the Sword ability. |
Mega Broiler | Flamberge conjures a cannon to shoot flames horizontally, leaving Recoil Stars on impact. The burning fuse can be put out to make her cannon explode, leaving her stunned and vulnerable to attacks from Kirby & his allies. |
Burst Jump | Flamberge leaps to the other side of the stage. Francisca shares the same movement too. |

“ | She's supposed to be looking for dark hearts, but Flamberge has found her way to a nice, toasty spot and is taking a bit of a break. She'd like to invite Francisca to join her but worries she might melt in the heat… | ” | — Pause flavor text of Flamberge (2nd battle in Sizzlai Moon) in Story Mode and Guest Star ????

When she is fought again on Sizzlai Moon, Flamberge's attacks are more elaborate, but still fundamentally the same.
