How it plays

The shield lights them. The spear feeds the fire.

  1. 01 · Shield · Perfect parry

    Ember Burst

    Time your block and the shield sprays burning sparks forward. Every enemy in the cone catches fire. It’s vanilla Burning, so fire resistance and rain work as you’d expect.

  2. 02 · Spear · Stab

    Stoke the flames

    Every thrust into a burning enemy pours more fire into its burn and keeps it going. Parry, ignite, stab: the set is built around that rhythm.

  3. 03 · Spear · Throw

    Throw burst

    A thrown Ember Spear bursts into embers where it lands and sets the enemies around it alight.

The rune boss when ready, and dimmed during the cooldown
Ready → spent. The boss is the cooldown timer, and other players see it too.
Set bonusGlóð

Carry the shield and the spear together and the burst rekindles faster and reaches further.

Lore

Forged in one hearth. A black-metal blade quenched around a surtling ember, and a shield with the same ember sealed in its boss.

Heat still lives in both. Cracks glow out from the core, and the ember shows through a bindrune of three staves.
