Expert Tips

Flamespitter (Q) deals damage per second. Never tap it; hold it on the target as long as possible.
Heat management is your main skill. Play at 50-75 heat to benefit from Overheating DPS without self-silencing.
The Equalizer (R) trails fire. Drag the ult trail perpendicular to the enemy's escape path so it cuts through multiple enemies.
