Firebombs
Firebomb
Firebombs are an improvised incendiary weapon that can be crafted and thrown by players. Upon impact, a firebomb bursts into flames, creating a patch of burning ground that damages and obstructs enemies.
Crafting
A firebomb is created by applying an oil-soaked cloth to a container filled with liquor.
Not all containers are equal. Larger bottles can hold more fuel and generally produce a more effective firebomb. Resourceful players often experiment with different vessel sizes to achieve better results.
Using a Firebomb
To use a firebomb, simply double-click it and target a location. The bomb will travel to the selected spot and burst into flame on impact.
Throwing a firebomb is considered an aggressive action and will break stealth.
Effects
When a firebomb strikes, it shatters and spreads burning liquid across the area. This creates a temporary field of fire that:
- Deals damage over time to anyone standing in it
- Can block or slow movement through narrow passages
- Disrupts enemy formations and chokepoints
Tactical Uses
Firebombs are highly valued for their ability to control the battlefield. They are particularly effective for:
- Blocking dungeon entrances and narrow corridors
- Defending key positions
- Disrupting pursuing enemies
- Breaking up tightly packed groups
- Forcing opponents into unfavorable positions
The greatest strength of a firebomb is often not the direct damage it causes, but the tactical choices it forces upon your enemy.
Tips
- Larger liquor containers tend to create more potent firebombs.
- Firebombs work especially well when combined with poisoned arrows or coordinated group tactics.
- Strategic placement can be more valuable than direct hits.
Firebombs reward creative thinking and good timing, making them a favorite tool among tactical fighters in Season 2.
