Description

The Fire Spirit is on a kamikaze mission to give you a warm hug. It'd be adorable if it wasn't on fire.

Fire Spirit battle strategy

At 1 elixir, Fire Spirit plays as a Common troop that targets air & ground. Released in 2016, it remains a reliable option for balancing offense and defense.

Opening plays and tempo

Lead with Fire Spirit when you can float 1 elixir. It lets you test your opponent's responses without committing a full push.

Support combinations

Pair Fire Spirit with spells or support troops that amplify a troop's pressure. Knockback, rage, or splash damage keep it on the board longer.

Defensive flip

Hold Fire Spirit for air & ground pushes when you need a fast trade. Survive the defense, then stack it behind surviving units for a counterattack.

Synergies and deck ideas

Cheap cycle cards help you get back to Fire Spirit whenever you need its toolkit in rotation.

Mix Fire Spirit with win conditions that benefit from its support or let it pressure the opposite lane as a secondary win condition.

Playing around counters

  • Identify hard counters early

    Watch for buildings, splash damage, or swarms that shut Fire Spirit down. Force those answers out with spells or opposite-lane pressure.

  • Spell safety

    Avoid stacking Fire Spirit near your tower. High-damage spells punish clumped units, so stagger deployments to reduce risk.

Upgrade priorities

Track the damage and hit point breakpoints that matter at your ladder tier. Leveling Fire Spirit so it survives common counter damage keeps it relevant.
