Fire
Fire sets enemies alight for extra damage over time, and the most common enemies in the horde are weak to it. Sets enemies ablaze for 40% of the hit as extra damage over 2s.
How to use it
Guns with fire built in trigger it on a quarter of their hits as they drop, and the Elemental Core upgrade raises the chance. Any other gun can be given fire once it has an Elemental Core.
The Arcanist’s Empower makes every shot trigger its element for 6 seconds, which makes the Arcanist the best fire user in the game.
