Flame Blade

Like i thought, damn. But its sounds interesting even without dueling.

I think the only change they made is that it scales better. Still super cool flavor wise, still mediocre mechanically :/

 Oh, I agree. They made a very boring buff, although it's pretty massive (you get to add your spellcasting modifier AND it adds 1d6 every level? Just upcasting to level 3 already means that it got a massive damage buff), but I would've 100% preferred if they changed the way it works to be specifically a Weapon that uses the Magic Action to attack (that way it could work with cantrips like True Strike or Booming Blade, without working with Extra Attack)

 I'll be honest I missed where it said it adds your spellcasting ability modifier.

I suppose that is a pretty substantial improvement from the previous version.

Can innate Innate Sorcery give advantage to this spell ?

 Yes it can

Can it be combined with true strike?

No. True Strike's material component is a weapon that you're proficient with and is worth at least 1 copper piece. This means it has to be an actual, real, physical weapon, not something created out of magic like this spell (or Shadow Blade, Pact of the Blade, etc.)

 I think on top of that, it takes a magic action to cast true strike and a magic action to strike with the Fiery Blade... even if a DM hand waved the component cost, i think this issue prohibits it

That's a good point, and (as I mentioned in one of my other comments) even if you ignore the material component cost, the effect created by this spell isn't actually a weapon at all. I think it's very clear, for all of these reasons, that it's not intended for this spell to work with things like True Strike that require an actual weapon to be used.
