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. She is voiced by Rie Takahashi.

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's English name is directly taken from the name of a particular type of sword, which is also the flaming sword she wields in battle.

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...

The following lists all of Flamberge's attacks. Attacks in italics are used during the second phase only.

Flamberge's Attacks during the first battle in Kirby Star Allies
Attack	Description
Berge Slash	Flamberge slashes her sword up and down multiple times.
Berge Rush	Flamberge stabs with her sword multiple times.
Berge Finish	Flamberge swings her sword, sending out four fireballs. This attack usually comes after a "Berge Rush."
Flam Flambé	Flamberge jumps and thrusts down her sword. Then, she drags her sword and sets her path on fire. She leaves her sword on the ground for a while, but she will conjure it back later. The flames on the floor can be put out by Artist or Ice/Water/wind-based attacks (see her weaknesses in the Boss Infobox). The flaming sword can be cooled down by the aforementioned element attacks to yield the Sword ability.
BBQ Skewer	Flamberge begins with this attack during the second phase of her first battle. Flamberge jumps and thrusts her sword down into the ground, then pulls it back up now with a stone stuck to it, similar to a barbeque stick. She will do this four times in a row. She will then fly up and swing her 'barbeque' sword to send the flaming stones back onto the ground, which can be cooled down to yield the Stone ability.
Scorching Sword Plunge	Flamberge conjures four flaming swords and individually tosses them into different places in 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.
Attack names listed are taken from the Japanese guide book and the English version of the Dream Friend moveset.

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...

Once upon a time, a girl facing a raging inferno tilted her head to the sky and let loose a fiery scream. Just before she lost consciousness, a mysterious traveler appeared and unlocked her natural talent for fire magic. Thus, Flamberge was born.
