Fire Damage | Elden Ring Wiki

Scorch your enemies with the searing fury of a thousand suns, Tarnished!

Submit

Perfect for Malenia RL1.

Submit

Unless they're made of fire, fire usually works great. This is a game where your main enemy is a tree after all.

Submit

The flame art infusion should be removed from the game. Don't need more easy mode options.

I wanna make a griller build for PVP (once im finished with PVE) thats focused on fire damage because of how many ways there are to buff it. can i get a list of ashes of war, weapons, and incants that benefit from the buffs and/or can someone just tell me the best weapons, incants, or ashes of war to use with such a build?

Submit

I am the Grill Master. With level 150, double fire giant seal, 90 faith, 50 vigor and 39 mind (wretch starting class) most of rakshasa set, fire scorpion, flock canvas, Godfrey icon, sword ritual talisman, fire tear, an oil pot, fire grant me strength, and golden vow, 1 Giants flame take thee does about 12K dmg to commander gaius, I nuke radagon and most bosses. Fire is not the best element but sure does have the most ways to buff it.

Submit

Lord, cast your light upon us, for the night is dark and full of terrors!

Submit

This is the "slash damage" of elemental types. There are enemies out there that straight up resist fire 100%, and not many enemies are weak to it except for a few, usually trash mobs with exposed skin that already die in like 2 hits anyways, just like slash.

That being said, fire has blasblade, magma blade, mohg spear, and magma wyrm scalesword. Just like slash get katanas, curved swords, and curved greatswords- Great options with great movesets and skills.

Submit

The only thing holding me back from maining this damage type...is all those fire immune enemies.

Magic, lightning, physical and holy don't have these problems. You could say holy, but holy has death-sapping effects like blade of death and black blade, which make it still work.

Still one of the coolest damage types imo

Submit

BEST ELEMENTAL DAMAGE TYPE IT'S NOT EVEN CLOSE but it constantly pishes it down in the lands between so it's kinda mid

Submit

This is now the worst elemental damage type in my opinion, definitely worse than holy after the DLC. It gets debuffed in rain or wet ground which is an extremely common environmental condition, it's the only damage type that some enemies are COMPLETELY immune to, and it's the only damage type that can't benefit from the frostbite debuff. It has some unique buffs that help compensate for these disadvantages (FGMS, oil stuff), but magic also has unique buffs like the Spellblade Set, the moon sorceries, and Terra Magica. And now with the DLC, not only are there way more enemies weak to holy, but lightning and holy get unique buffs too (Priestess Heart, Death Knight Set, Sword of Light/Darkness). So on top of fire's inherent downsides which still remain, everything it had going for it relative to the other elements is moot now. Now I'd rank the elemental damage types lightning > magic > holy > fire.

Submit

probably the worst damage type in the whole game tbh. literally only random side bosses are weak to it

Submit

Does anyone knows if the damage decrease for when you both are in water AND it's raining, it's additive or multiplicative? If it's additive it's 20%, while multiplicative it's 21%.

Submit

To sum up the different types of fire damage, ER has;

Fire
Big fire
Dark fire
Cold fire (my fav)
Sleep fire
Death fire

While the DLC introduces;

Snake fire
Lightning fire

Anything I missed?

Submit

For all weapons with fire AR, the fire AR at +0 with standard affinity (or no affinity, for somber) is either 30%, 65%, 100% or 120% of the physical AR, rounded down, except for torches, in which the fire AR is 180% of the physical AR. The only exception for this rule is Devourer's Scepter, in which the fire AR is ~62% (rounded down) of the physical AR.

Submit

sooooooooooo midddd....

Submit

It pishes it down in elden ring constantly, stop ****ing nerfing me

Submit

Fire is just objectively the best elemental damage type available to FTH builds, for a variety of reasons. Even the downside of dealing less damage in rain / water can be temporarily sidestepped by using oil pots.

Submit

Incredible how the Fire Giant still takes fire damage but a lava lizard and some snakes don't

Submit

Ah. One of the damage types of my collection of Iron Cleavers

Submit

so this page mentions flame spit but not the one eyed shield itself? unless i missed it. i suppose it doesnt do fire damage when you bonk people with it, but it IS the one doing the flame spitting

Submit

Fun fact: Most enemies have a special death animation when you kill them with a fire

Submit

The fires of greed will burn the weak

Submit

Fire affinity is nuts if you are a pure strength build, it's even crazier with the scorpion talisman and fire grant me strength, so much damage

**** faith (after 25)

Submit

Isn't Godrick phase 2 not in the list of bosses dealing fire damage or i'm wrong?

Submit

I suppose it’s understandable that Alexander would be immune to fire, considering he tempered himself in the Forge of the Giants.

Submit

If you constantly hit the erdtree with a fire weapon, how long would it take to set it on fire?

Submit

The rot dragon in Caelid by the dragon cathedral is very weak to fire damage

Submit

Does the fire damage from incantations also scale with strength instead of faith? Or is that only for Fire affinity weapons?

Submit

does it remove frostbite when its only half proced ?

Submit

I feel like fire does more poise damage. at lease with greases

Submit

would be cool if fire damage was better against rot-afflicted enemies

Submit

fire slugs are also immune

Submit

I like it when they do the funny AAAAAAAAAAAAAA- sounds.

Submit

I love fire/pyromancies in all souls, and while many people said it's outclassed in this game by every status effect, it's still the same fun to use.

Submit

Generally, plant like enemies (eg miranda flowers, malenia), beast like enemies (eg all dogs, hands, crows, runebears, giant bats...) and enemies with explosives (eg miners with bag, explosive jars) are weak to fire, so having at least one fire weapon is handy. Or at the very least a range weapon (pots/bow/xbow/spells) to be able to set hands/dogs/flowers/explosive ones on fire and their trigger special effects.

Submit

This game has the most annoying fire death sound out of all From did. Sounds like your character turns into a whiny 5 year old crying for more candy

Submit

Need to add a section to buffs for spells and abilities that give weapon buffs.

Submit

As far as I can tell the Magma Wyrm in the lake of lava near Fort Laidd is also immune to fire damage, probably because it needs to walk around on the lake without burning to death. Flame spit from the one-eyed shield (pure fire damage) did nothing at all.

Submit

Doesn't Giantsflame Take Thee deal fire damage, along with being possibly the most OP Fire spell/incantation?

Submit

Flame Grant Me Strength: I imbibe the very essence of fire, strengthening myself through faith alone. Here, smell this oil pot.
Lightning Grant Me Strength: water wet.

Submit

Placidusax's ruin golden breath portion of the spell does fire damage also.

Submit

Snakes are immune to fire

Submit

The Troll’s Hammer also deals innate fire damage.

Submit

So, as I understand, advantages of Fire damage are: ability to stun certain enemies (looking at you, giant spider hands!), makes people scream funny, and damage drops when raining (which happens rather often). Lightning damage, on other hand, doesn't have special interactions with enemies as I noticed, but it gets damage buff when it rains, and causes small AoEs on water surfaces. And holy damage? It suucks. No idea what magic dmaage does tho

Submit

Does anyone know if flame art affinity deals fire damage? Just wondering if using flame shrouding cracked tear would boost my flame art halberd using black flame tornado

Submit

Forgot Grafted Dragon

Submit

Is there a weapon similar to Clayman’s Harpoon where you can change the Ash and the weapon will retain some of the base fire damage even if you change the affinity?

Submit

This seems to be missing the lava sorceries, magma shot, rolling magma, and gelmir's fury, and possibly rykard's rancor but i din't know if that deals fire damage.

Submit

They should've given fire a DoT effect. At this point in Fromsoft's games, it makes no sense that things like fire and lightning don't have some kind of added effect (aside from the few odd enemies they do against) to make them something more than just another damage type. Fire could have a short, but strong DoT that makes enemies panic and can spread to other enemies, and lightning could arc to enemies close by your target and have high poise damage, or something like that.

Submit

Doesn't the Godslayer's Greatsword also have innate fire damage?

Submit

doesn't the SoNaF have innate fire damage?

Submit

Better than Holy damage if you're a Faith based build.

Submit

Fire scaling plus flame grant me strength is super good for low level invasion builds

Submit

would be so cool if you could set mobs on fire and do damage over time like poison and rot. even a proc would've been cool.

Submit

Magma Wyrm Greatsword is probably the best innate fire weapon imo. Magma Guillotine is an insane weapon art AoE that hits 3 times and scales for very high damage, plus the sword is heavy on strength scaling for raw damage.

Submit

Bleed: deals huge % damage when procs.
Frost: lowers defenses and causes minor HP loss when procs.
Death: kills opponent even if his HP bar not depleted yet.
Scarlet Rot: applies very long duration and incredibly damaging DoT.
Fire: makes opponent scream funny when he dies. Lol.

Submit

i added more weapons that have innate fire damage

Submit

Giant's red braid also innately deals fire damage

Submit

Devourer's Scepter deals fire too

Submit

Scales with strength. Does 20% less damage when it's raining (the opposite goes for lightning damage which scales with dexterity).

Submit

Rivers of blood also innately deals fire damage.

Submit

Fire damage can be used to briefly stun giant Miranda Flowers, as well as the giant crawling claws. Anyone know what else it's useful for?

Submit

Fire definitely has it's uses, I've just found that any source of fire damage will make the giant hands writhe around on the floor in pain leaving them open to attack. I assume there will be more enemies that have hidden interactions with other elements.

Submit

Cold and bleed are much better than fire element. They should've added DOT effect.

Submit

Fire scales with your vigor only? Or is there something else. Mind or faith or arcane didn't seem to do it. Strange. I could be wrong and it takes a few levels to scale.

Submit

Can you make a weapon literally glow with fire at all? is this possible, trying to go for a Rengoku type charcter

Submit

The 10 (11?) fingered hands go into panic mode and take damage over time, as do plants, when taking fire damage. Similar to how the dogs did in DS3.

Submit

dealing fire damage to an enemy resets the frost status, meaning it can be immediately reapplied. it's insane.

Submit

Does anyone hate the fact that when you die from this type of damage, your character screams and it sounds cringy?

Submit

Because Fire and Slash are largely redundant of each other the best argument for infusing a weapon with Fire was to infuse it onto a slashing weapon to do full damage to the right enemies with the benefit of increased stagger on what would otherwise be typically low stagger light attacks, but it seems that stagger combo isn't as good in Elden Ring as it was in Dark Souls IMO. So now the primary reason to infuse fire damage on a weapon is to specifically improve a fire weapon arts damage or to make a Slash weapon scale better with STR and/or FTH builds.

Submit

Are there no spells that buff your weapons with it?

Submit

How does it scale on weapons?

Submit

does fire damage applied to weapons through ashes scale with int and faith or just faith

Submit
