Synergies

• This weapon is best used as a supporting tool. As a very accessible and effective means of setting enemies on fire, it synergizes nicely with affixes related to fire damage or oil.
  • This weapon also synergizes very well with the Oiled Sword.

Notes

• Affixes such as "+30% damage on slowed targets" apply to the projectile as well as the inflicted burn status but not the fire it spreads on the ground.
• Firebrands sacrifices ranged capability and defence for a powerful area-of-effect. This weapon favors hit-and-run strategies, and a reliance on synergies.
• This weapon is a viable alternative to the Fire Grenade, and generally does slightly more damage.

Trivia

• The handle sprite on the icon resembles that of the Torch.
• The sprite of a thrown Firebrand is identical to that of the Torch's icon.
