==Description==

 

If an enemy is set alight, the flames will be applied to the enemy until the burn time runs out. There are two types of damage the '''Golden Pyromancer''' can apply. The first is ''Normal Damage'' which is non-burn related. This can pierce through multiple enemies, not including [[flying]] enemies, which it is unable to damage without flying detection. Its flame can initially only hit four different enemies, but with upgrades it increases to ten enemies at once. The second is ''Burn Damage'' which is applied for every second an enemy is set alight. Both damage methods can damage [[Lead (Attribute)|Lead]] enemies. The '''Golden Pyromancer''' will attack any enemy, even if the enemy is on fire. However, if there are multiple enemies in its range, it will attack the first enemy that is not on fire. Unlike its normal counterpart, the '''Golden Pyromancer''' can detect hidden enemies from Level 0.

*As the '''Golden Pyromancer''' can set lots of enemies on fire at once, due to its pierce and targeting of multiple enemies, it can be very effective against hordes of enemies such as [[Breaker (Disambiguation)|Breakers]].

*The '''Golden Pyromancer''' has hidden detection from Level 0, allowing it to deal with [[Hidden (Attribute)|Hidden]] enemies quite well early on.

***As such, with these towers, an enemy's [[Defense]] can be removed entirely.

***Do note that this may be impractical as it requires you to bring several support towers, even though the tower slot could be used for more important DPS towers.

*The '''Golden Pyromancer''' is less effective against those with [[Burn Immunity]], such as the [[Molten]].

 

==Trivia==

*The Level 5 upgrade's name comes from [[wp:Kagu-tsuchi|Kagu-tsuchi]], who is the god of fire in classical Japanese mythology.

**The full name, Kagutsuchi's Fury, is also likely a reference to the upgraded [[w:c:callofduty:Staff of Fire|Staff of Fire]] from ''Call of Duty: Black Ops II Zombies''.
