Burned

Burned - Target has reduced DEF and takes Fire damage each turn for 3 turns.

Type: debuff - Category: Damage over Time, Defense

This status effect is easily recognized by the flames swirling around the affected individual. For the duration of the effect, Fire damage is dealt at the end of each turn until the effect expires.

The amount of damage is based on the skill stat of the hero (or enemy) that caused the burn.

This damage deals extra damage to targets with vulnerabilities like Fire Vulnerability (2x Fire damage taken), or attackers with boosted damage vs burned targets like Pyromaniac. In addition, other enemies benefit by attacking those with burning effects such as the Fire Eater effect (gains life upon attacking a burning target). The damage from Burn can be mitigated by damage reduction and a high skill stat.

A side-effect of Burned is that the affected target also has a lowered DEF, similar to DEF-. This increases the amount of damage that the hero takes from all hits and attacks.

Many Fire heroes can inflict Burn. Some heroes have the Grill Master passive, which has a chance to burn targets upon a critical hit. Nitpick is a hero that hits the opponent's team with many meteor strikes, each having a chance to burn the target. It ensures that the entire enemy party is on fire. Mangle Jaw's Hot Coals ability leaves a burning pile of fire inducing coals, with a high chance to inflict burn and have it sustained for a long duration of time. Finally, Squinch is a hero that provides his party with the Pyromaniac buff (1.5x damage dealt against burning targets) with his Playing With Fire ability.

Burn Immune is not the same as Fire Immune. A few heroes like Ferno are completely immune to Burn and Fire. A few others like Solaris are immune to Fire attacks, but not to Burned. In that case, Solaris can catch fire, the debuff with all side-effects is applied, but she will take no damage from the debuff because it's Fire damage.

Last but not least, there are different types of Burned like Wildfire, Demonfire, etc. They all do Fire damage and count for boosted damage against Burned targets but have different side-effects.

Properties of Burned

Burn Immune heroes are unaffected
Fire Immune heroes take no Fire damage, but have a lowered DEF stat (when debuff is Burned or Demonfire)
Fireborn and Pyromaniacs like Ignus the Mad deal boosted damage against Burned targets
Ferno can spread fire with his Reckless Pyromania
Torchy together with Solaris can spread it as well due his Beastly Recklessness
Fire Eater like Mangle Jaw, Spitfire and Koros heal from Burned targets

(Special Attack): Ranged Light attack on all enemies that applies Burn, Poison, or Frostbite to each enemy, and buffs DEF of all allies.
(Special Attack): Ranged Physical Attack on target enemy that applies up to 3 random status effects. Cooldown of this special attack is reduced for each status effect missed.

(Trait): This hero gains 10% damage reduction for each other fire hero on the team. Attacks have a [25/50/100]% chance to burn on hit. The percentage depends on the rank (I-III) of this trait. Each Ascension increases the boost.

(Special Attack): Sacrifices herself. Cooldown is based on how much damage allies receive (Basically, anytime Solaris' allies receive damage it adds to her Fury. Fury is at 100% equivalent to two allies receiving 100% of their health in damage. Example: Hero A loses 50% of their health, Hero B loses 50% of their health, and Hero C dies. 50% + 50% + 100% = 200% health loss = 100% fury amount. Max health reduction is treated as damage. Fury's charge is looking at a hero's original health for that hit. For all subsequent hits, Fury looks at the new max health).

The % depends on the rank (I-III) of this trait.
