How to Use this Hero[]

Uses in PVP[]

The Furnace is often used in Dungeon Defense. It's first action is to Stoke the Boiler. This adds the buff "Fired Up: All damage done also does additional Fire damage" to all team mates and additionally a Taunt buff on the Furnace. As a result an attacker needs to remove both buffs from the Furnace to get rid of the Taunt effect. Abilities like Shadowblade's From the Shadows only remove the first applied buff (Fired Up). But a Smite attack of Augustus, or a Theft of Grace performed by Malice will do the trick. Viperia's Snakes on the Plains can purge multiple buffs of a single target, too.

Notes and Tips[]

The Furnace is the 53th Hero and the first Construct in Dungeon Boss released in March 2016.

This Hero was obtainable only for a short period of time (3 days) by a Heroic Portal Summon.

Being a construct, The Furnace can only be repaired, several ways to do this can be with Dagrund Blacksmoke's ability Dwarven EMT, Bauble's basic attack, IFF Targeting and Bauble's first ascension ability, Positive Charge, which heals and repairs.

Trivia[]

His old description was a direct reference to the Strong Bad song "Trogdor the Burninator". "Burninating the countryside, Burninating the peasants, Burninating all the peoples in the thatched roof cottages"
