💡 Pro Tips
🎯 Prediction Shooting
Lead your targets! Fireball travels slowly, so aim where enemies will be, not where they are.
🧊 Water Awareness
Enemies can extinguish burning damage by entering water. Position yourself to deny access to water sources.
⚠️ Safety First
Always check your blast radius before firing. Self-kills are embarrassing and costly!
🏗️ Terrain Usage
Use elevation changes to your advantage. High ground gives better fireball arcs.
