Description
Fire is a status condition that causes periodic damage to the victim. When a burning knight tries to throw an offensive vial, the fire may break the vial, causing it to be wasted. Fire wears off after a few seconds. Before it wears off, it can be cured with a Remedy Capsule. In Firestorm Citadel, fire can be cured by getting splashed with a water orb. Being frozen will also prematurely put out fire.
Fire damage ticks are red, like normal damage. However, fire damage is not really normal. Nor is it piercing, elemental, or shadow. Fire damage is best viewed as its own special kind of damage. For knights, damage protections on armor do not lessen the damage from fire. Rather, only fire-resistant armor lessens the damage (and duration, and perhaps chances). Monsters exhibit varying susceptibility to fire, independent of their monster families. For example, fire from Ash of Agni does more damage against zombies than against kats.
Unlike damage from shock, fire damage is not affected by poison, and cannot be prevented by shielding.
Oil Slicks
Oil slicks periodically dropped by Oilers or released from Oil Jars can catch fire. They become a temporary floor hazard if set on fire, and burn up after several seconds. Oil slicks can be set on fire by:
- Ground-based fire attacks from other enemies (Gremlin Scorchers, Red Rovers, Salamanders)
- A flaming Oiler's attack
- Adjacent flaming oil slicks
- A Fire-inflicted player or enemy walking over an Oil slick
- A fire jar
- And Charged shots from the Firotech Alchemer series (The oil only catches fire if the shot disappears over an Oil slick)
As such, an unprepared party can quickly be overwhelmed by a few Oilers and a Red Rover or Scorcher.
Poisonous Oil Slicks
Poisonous Oil slicks periodically dropped by Toxoils and Giant Toxoils can catch fire too and can be set on fire for the same circumstances that the normal Oil Slick. Fortunately, these types of slicks can be seen in the Danger Mission: Compound 42 only. It can cause poison too.
