Sunburn's Attacks

 

Attack 1: Flamethrower Breath

Flamethrower Breath starts out as a decent, medium-range attack. Hold down the attack to fire a continuous stream on nearby enemies. To realize its full potential, you need to upgrade it and use the Blaze Dragon Path. When you have fully upgraded Flamethrower Breath, Sunburn goes through three stages. Each time he increases his stage he gains 100% extra damage per second from Flamethrower Breath. Another nice advantage to Flamethrower Breath is that Sunburn can still move around while using it.



Attack 2: Immolation Teleport

Initially, Immolation Teleport is a difficult power to use effectively. It's difficult to aim against larger enemies, and even if you hit, it does low damage. The key to this attack is the vast number of upgrades available for it. The first important upgrade, Guided Teleportation, automatically shoots 4 lava bursts out in different directions. Select which one you want Sunburn to teleport to and then release Attack 2. Each subsequent upgrade increases the amount of secondary damage the attack does. Eventually, the way you should be using this power is to set up a surprise attack against a nearby enemy by dashing right into them. However, that still leaves that upgrade path inferior to Blaze Dragon. Even with all the upgrades, Immolation Teleport remains hard to use effectively.

Attack 3: Phoenix Dash

While there are no upgrades for Phoenix Dash here, you do get an upgrade via the Soul Gem ability. Phoenix Dash is a good attack that makes Sunburn hard to hit. It also does good damage compared to his other attacks.

Soul Gem Ability: Flight of the Phoenix

This is a fantastic upgrade for Phoenix Dash. Not only does it double the damage the dash attack normally does, but the explosion at the end tacks on extra damage on top of the dash. So if you use the dash against a tough enemy, you can hit them twice with each dash.
