DC Universe Online Fire Powers Guide

For those with a burning desire to… well… burn things, DC Universe Online has the Fire line of super powers. These powers are for every ones inner Starfire, and it hotly does so with blazing enthusiasm.

But enough with the fire puns and let us get to what makes fire so cool!

Fire is a Tanking role. It’s used to absorb damage, and stay in the brunt of combat. To do so, it uses two different talent lines: Immolation and ignition.

Essentially, immolation is about setting yourself on fire, and ignition is about setting other things on fire. Both are fantastic depending on how you want to develop your characters.

Immolation starts off simple; a flame-engulfing skill that damages enemies near you. This quickly expands to other skills that also engulf yourself in flames.

Other powers include a flaming boulder for your character to throw, a knockback-style flaming push, and a giant volcano coming up out of nowhere.

The volcano pretty much makes the tree amazing on its own, but it requires a full Supercharge meter, and supercharge grows with every tiresome punch against villains.

There’s an interesting Immolation crowd-control tactic where players can use their skills that cause knockback, use the characters one heal-over-time ability, then they use the fiery AOE skill to damage their foes as they stand up.

You’re left to heal and regroup as your foes are left gasping for breath.

Ignition is the ranged alternative to the fire track. Most of these powers are about throwing Jerry Lee Lewis’ great balls of fire around. There are also moves in this spec that knock the opponent down; enabling a few free hits while they stand up.

There is also an attack that absorbs other fire attacks, and one that doubles your health, and heals you every time you get hit. In other words, you become an eternal flame at level 8. This skill also requires an entire Superchage to use, much like the Volcano.

Both spec trees are fantastic, but the best one to use changes depending on what kind of character you want to build. A gun-toting character would best use his fire powers in Ignition because he has no desire for enemies to get close to him.

On the other hand, a tough, brawling character wouldn’t want to waste his time throwing fireballs when he could be dealing damage up-close and personal.

We recommend that Ignition users work with long-range weapons like Bows or dual pistols, and that Immolation users stick with their fists, single-handed or double-handed weapons.

With that, fire is a hot tanking tool. Ignition specialists wont die without severely wounding their foes, and immolation users will make give other short-range fighters a run for their money.

If you want to keep your part stoked on health, there are a few options but the fire-users strength lies in his damage-dealing potential. So, if you want to play as a Starfire or Human Torch-like character, there is no better option than fire powers.
