"Burn multiple enemies at once and chip away defense."
―Store Description

Description

The Golden Pyromancer is a golden perk for the Pyromancer, obtained from the Golden Crate for Error creating thumbnail: File missing 50,000, if you own the Pyromancer. Its main gimmick is its ability to burn enemies, dealing extra damage over time and later reducing the enemy Defense.

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 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.

The Golden Pyromancer, in comparison to the Pyromancer, has increased normal damage, burn damage and burn time, at one point having it be effectively infinite. This is considered to be an all rounder tower.

Strategy

  • The Golden Pyromancer is considered an early to mid-game tower, because of its cost efficiency and moderate damage.
    • It can be used to easily deal with weak enemy hordes like the Normal, Heavy or Quick and at higher Levels, it can even take out high health enemies like the Normal Boss and Elite Abnormal.
      • Although it is unable to outright defeat hordes of higher-health enemies like Giant Bosses, it can still do substantial damage to them.
    • Even though it is considered as such, it still has certain usage in the late game to reduce defense.
  • The Golden Pyromancer will set every enemy in its range on fire. In what order the Golden Pyromancer will choose its target is based on its targeting.
    • If there is only one detectable enemy in the Golden Pyromancer's range, then it will always target that enemy. This also occurs if all current enemies in the Golden Pyromancer's range is set on fire.
  • 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 Breakers.
  • The Golden Pyromancer has hidden detection from Level 0, allowing it to deal with Hidden enemies quite well early on.
  • The Golden Pyromancer can also be used to melt an enemy's Defense by half.
    • The Golden Pyromancer can be used alongside other defense melting towers, like the Freezer, Electroshocker or Toxic Gunner to melt it further, though it cannot be used alongside the regular Pyromancer and other fire defense melting sources.
      • As such, with these towers, an enemy's Defense can be removed entirely.
        • This can be useful since it can harshly decrease the defense of enemies with very high defense like the Vindicator, Reaver or Slow King.
      • 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.
    • However, the Golden Pyromancer can still deal non-burn damage to them.
  • The Golden Pyromancer is best placed near the beginning of the path. This lets it kill weaker enemies and decrease defense of enemies before they reach your other towers.
  • The Golden Pyromancer will not be able to set enemies on fire when placed on high grounds, like ones on The Heights.
  • The Golden Pyromancer's burn damage does not stack with other regular Pyromancer, Golden Pyromancers or other towers that deal burn damage, like the Archer.

Trivia

  • The Golden Pyromancer and the Turret are the only towers that have hidden detection at Level 0.
  • The Level 5 upgrade's name comes from 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 Staff of Fire from Call of Duty: Black Ops II Zombies.
