Fire Salamander
Fire Salamander — common World 5 pet. The heat tank — tougher balls that outlast the burn.
Overview
Fire Salamander is a common regular pet: The heat tank — tougher balls that outlast the burn.
It comes from the World 5 · Inferno claw machine and carries 3 abilities unlocked one per star.
Abilities
This pet has 3 abilities and unlocks them one per star: the first is live from the day you get it, the second needs 2★, the third 3★ (see fusion below).
| ★ | Ability | Lv 1 | Lv 25 | Lv 50 | Lv 75 | Lv 100 | Charm |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1★ | Heat Pool | 1 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | CHARM |
| 2★ | Ember Skin | −0.00% | −9.7% | −20% | −30% | −40% | CHARM |
| 3★ | First Spark | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | CHARM |
- Heat Pool — Every ball spawns with this much EXTRA vitality — it survives more heat damage before it melts.
- Ember Skin — Balls take this much less heat damage — and only HALF the extra damage lava deals while submerged.
- First Spark — Every ball shrugs off its FIRST point of heat damage.
Stars and fusion
Fuse 3 copies at the same star into one at the next — guaranteed, at the Fusion forge. The XP invested in all three copies is pooled into the result.
| Fuse | Needs | Essence |
|---|---|---|
| 1★ → 2★ | 3 × 1★ Fire Salamander |  500 |
| 2★ → 3★ | 3 × 2★ Fire Salamander | 1,500 |
Each star switches on the next ability in the table above.
Bring a 3★ copy to the Ball Grove to try for amped (purple) stars: each amped star adds +5% to that star's ability (1★ 1 in 10, 2★ 1 in 25, 3★ 1 in 50 on Hard; 1 in 30 / 1 in 75 / 1 in 150 on Regular).
A 3★ copy can become shiny by fusing an owned shiny Fire Salamander into it for 10,000 — see Shiny pets.
