Fire Blast is one of the first Traps, allowing the user to toss a grenade-like projectile that explodes upon impact, dealing fire damage in a small area of effect. Fire blast is an excellent skill to use for leveling, giving the Assassin an early ranged area of effect option that kills most early enemies in just a couple of uses. Though the damage is low, it is still useful at low levels, and somewhat at higher levels due to the huge amount of skills that synergize with it. The trap does not travel at an instantaneous pace and needs to be led to hit moving targets. Grenades bypass most types of obstacles, and are effective in hitting unsuspecting foes.
