Description

Fire is a status condition that causes periodic damage to the victim. The damage ticks are red, suggesting Normal damage, but Normal armor does not lessen the damage from fire. Neither does Elemental armor. Rather, only Fire-resistant armor lessens the damage (and duration, and perhaps chances) of fire. 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 the Firestorm Citadel, fire can be cured by getting splashed with a water orb.

Unlike Shock, Fire damage cannot be prevented by shielding.

Oil Slicks

A field of pristine 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 misplaced Fiery Vaporizer.

Map Hazards

Fire Grates and Shadow Fire are stationary hazards which can cause fire status.

Themed Enemies

Fire-themed enemies are usually immune to and may inflict fire status.

Inflicting Fire

Spiral Knights can inflict fire on monsters by using fire vials against them, throwing fire vases, and using a weapon that has a chance of inflicting fire.

Weapons that are able to inflict fire are:
