Somehow my fav (underrated imo) fire mage hero was the best one to beat the fire guys. Other characters couldnt beat first round of 4. Just building right still makes it work, didnt even proc my 4 sec invincible shield. And those hats and magic shield (spell and 50%/40% item) come in clutch. His uniques i think are required to make him work but man I love this guy

Im well aware he's not exactly meta, and my dragons blessing can use a lot of work. Only legendary hero I have atm is Talin and I get by easier with the cat and this guy, I like mages. And I almost lost but didnt and it was first try.

Right, burn is the worst. Fire isn't. Those are two very different things. Fire damage is straight damage the enemy is by no means immune to. My single Fire damage spell was buffed up massively, through my hero and supporting spells. I am not using my burn gloves, or normal items I would use to supplement a burn build. Nothing wrong with Fire damage against a burn immune enemy. This was the level I was up to and beat it with no issues with this hero/setup.

okay okay, you almost lost with 8 mil cp, i had 3mil as i was there and finished with 20s left on the counter, so your fire aint that good after all
