Fire Damage is one of the Damage Types in Elden Ring. It is one of the eight main Damage Types and belongs to the Elemental Damage category. Damage Types are a major part of the calculation that determines how much damage is dealt in Combat and are affected by many factors including your equipment, skills and temporary buffs.
Elden Ring Fire Damage Guide
Fire Damage is a type of Elemental Damage dealt by both players and enemies alike. Many Spells belonging to the Incantations category are good sources of Fire Damage. Fire Damage is particularly effective against unarmored enemies, fleshy creatures and rotten-afflicted enemies. Most enemies that utilize Fire Damage will often (but not always) have high resistance or immunity to Fire Damage.
Ashes of War that deal fire damage can be infused either as Fire, or as Flame Art. If infused as Fire, the primary scaling will be with Strength with minor Dex scaling. If infused with Flame Art, the Str and Dex scaling get severely reduced, and the fire damage scales strongly with Faith.
