Wildfire Roast

#Overview

Wildfire Roast is the evolution of Hot Streak. A chest evolves Hot Streak into it once Hot Streak is at max level and Tibo owns Thick Skin (see Evolutions). It keeps the same streak: moving without being hit lights up to five flames, a hit puts out two and stopping puts out all of them.

The change is reach. Each flame adds 48% to the slash radius instead of 24%. With five flames the circle is 3.4 times its base size: 34 × 1.2 area × 3.4 ≈ 139 units before area bonuses, against about 90 for a max-level Hot Streak. The slash rate per flame is unchanged (every 1 s with no flames, every 0.45 s with five). Damage is 122 per slash, one less than a max-level Hot Streak's 123.

#How it works

Flames, hits and slashes work as described on Hot Streak. The radius is 34 × area × (1 + 0.48 × flames).^[1] Dodged hits and hits that a shield soaks fully do not cost flames.

Measured in the headless sim (tools/play.mjs, build 41 main-B2gf34bA.js, Standard, Normal, god mode, seeds s1, s2 and s3; the seeded starting weapon removed, the weapon given with give, spawning stopped after 4 s of play and the pests already on the field held at fixed spots with 10⁹ HP; Tibo walking right the whole time, with pests held at fixed distances to his right): with no flames it reached the pest at 45 units and fired once per second; with five flames it fired every 0.45 s and reached the pest at 140 units but not the one at 145. All three seeds gave the same figures.

#Tips

• Almost all of the gain over Hot Streak depends on keeping flames lit. Without flames it is slightly weaker than the max-level base weapon.
• Thick Skin stays useful after the evolution because dodged hits do not put out flames.

#Stats

Values are the raw numbers from the game's definitions, before Tibo's global stat multipliers, difficulty and time scaling. In play, Tibo's base stats add +1 amount to every weapon except aura, cone, nuke and ring weapons, and make every duration ×1.25 (see Stats). Field names in code are the game's internal names. Attack descriptions such as “Melee slash” are this wiki's summary of the internal attack kind.

Evolutions have no level-ups in the game data; they use these fixed raw values.

#Behaviour parameters

Raw parameters of the attack (behavior), copied from the game definition. What they do in play is explained under How it works above.

#Obtaining

• Get Hot Streak to level 8 while owning Thick Skin (any level), then open a chest. See Evolutions.
