== Description ==

Sprays a short-range stream of flames that hang and slide along surfaces, burning everyone they pass through. Devastating up close, useless at range.

== Thawing teammates ==

Fire melts frost. Every flame that hits a '''teammate''' takes away 4 seconds' worth of their frost for each second of fire (the '''Thaws Teammates''' stat).

* The stream hits about '''12 times a second'''. On a chilled ally it drains the chill at about '''1.6 per second''', on top of the chill's own drain of 0.4 per second, so a full chill clears in about '''half a second'''.

* On a '''frozen''' ally, each second of fire ends the freeze about 4 seconds sooner, so a 2 second freeze from a [[Thermal Void]] lasts only about '''0.4 seconds'''.

* That makes the thaw about twice as fast as a Thermal Void builds a freeze, and it cuts a freeze to about a fifth of its length.

It only works on teammates:

* Your fire never thaws an '''enemy''', so you can't undo your own team's freeze on someone.

* You can't thaw '''yourself'''.
