== Basics ==
There are three kinds of '''fire''' damage:
* Flamethrowers, which are direct-fire weapons;
* Napalm, which is an area effect;
* Burning, which is a unit status effect.

=== Flamethrowers ===

Flamethrowers are a type of direct-fire weapons present on a handful of units ([[Pyro]], [[Dante]], [[Commander]]s). They possess some unique qualities compared to other weapon types, as they:
* Pierce their targets, hitting the ones behind.
* Deal extra damage to larger units.
* Deals bonus damage to shields
* Apply the burning status on hit.
* Pierce ground, meaning they can hit targets behind terraformed walls or on cliffs.

=== Napalm ===

Napalm is an area effect applied by some weapons, which persists for a time in an area and damages units inside. Napalm:
* Has variable damage - decreased over time and away from the centre.
* Applies the burning status to units.
* Is fully stackable. An area can be affected by multiple napalm instances at the same time.
* Is spherical, which means air units are safe from small napalm below and need to be in the centre to be affected by large.

=== Burning ===

Burning is a status effect applied onto units hit by the other fire weapons. Apart from the above weapon types, is also applied by [[Phoenix]] bombs, Dante missiles and Commanders with the Incendiary Warheads module.
* Always has a constant 15 DPS which does not stack.
* Some weapon types have a % chance to inflict the status (not guaranteed).
* The time does not stack, but each hit refreshes the duration.
* The max duration depends on the weapon type.
* The duration can be a range of values, picked randomly for each damage instance.
* Amphibious units can fully submerge to stop burning.
* [[Pyro]] and [[Kodachi]] cannot be set on fire.
