Firewalker is one of the fast attacking good races. They have a few interesting abilities that make them a fun, albeit fairly weak race to play. Although they are a solid race to attack OOP due to their cheap units and Alchemist Flame spell, they are very weak later on due to their inefficiency. Firewalkers have one of the most interesting self spells. The Alchemist Flame spell increases the amount of platinum produced by alchemies which means that unlike most other races, a high alchemy strategy is viable for Firewalkers. This is augmented for attackers by the addition of Forge investments if Alchemist Flame is active. It is fairly uncommon for people to play as an exploring Firewalker; however, when experienced players have done so, their results have been very good. Generally, Firewalkers will only do well when in the hands of an experienced player, whether attacking or exploring.

General information

Racial Spell

Alchemist Flame: Increases alchemy production by 12 platinum and adds 25 Forges points per Alchemy each hour.

The spell is important early in the round during protection but loses relevance as the round goes on due to Alchemies being a lower percentage of total income. If an explorer uses Alchemies for income, it will remain powerful for longer.

Pros

• Cheap OP elites
• Pseudo-Immortal DP elites
• 50% reduced casualties on OP elites
• Solid turtle from OP elites
• Can be played very fast
• Good self spell for early round

Cons

• Inefficient troops
• Self spell becomes expensive and inefficient later in round
• Too reliant upon speed and hard to play slow
• Poor converters
