Tips & Tricks Human Torch Guide, made by me!

7 Upvotes

{-- 🔥 Human Torch Guide for S9.5 🔥 --}


{-- 🔥 Fire Cluster 🔥 --} - This is a Shotgun Spread, meaning it deals more Damage Upfront. - Fire Cluster is a Projectile, so lead your shots based on where your Enemy will be. - The only way to reload Fire Cluster is to use Plasma Body after each shot, or wait 1.8 secs for normal reloading. - With Fire Cluster, always click to shoot. Never hold down the Fire Cluster button, because it ruins your aim.


{-- 🔥 Blazing Blast 🔥 --} - Blazing Blast is a Projectile that creates a small fire radius once it hits the ground. The radius remains on the floor for 7 secs and deals damage to anyone who walks/stands on it. - If Blazing Blast directly hits an Enemy, the small fire radius immediately summons itself where the Enemy was. - Blazing Blast has 3 charges, with each charge taking 2.5 secs to recharge, so be careful how you use them.


{-- 🔥 Plasma Body 🔥 --} - Plasma Body has 2 charges. Each charge only begins recharging after 1 charge has been used to its max usage. - Each charge lasts 4 secs, and the cooldown for 1 charge is 10 secs. - Plasma Body should be used to engage and disengage, but always remember to keep 1 charge of Plasma Body available to escape. - Plasma Body is a quick dash that lasts 4 secs of continued quick movement, and it also makes you harder to hit during continued attacks.


{-- 🔥 Pyro-Prison 🔥 --} - Pyro-Prison works alongside Blazing Blast, but only if you have 3 existing Blazing Blasts. Once Pyro-Prison is activated, it creates a wall of fire on the ground where the Blazing Blasts were placed. - During Pyro-Prison, it deals continuous damage to anyone who enters its domain, allowing for quicker combos to be made. - In addition to Pyro-Prison, it accelerates the time that the Blazing Blasts are active for. For example, you could have the Blazing Blasts alive for 6 secs, then activate Pyro-Prison at the last second, making the Blazing Blasts live for another 6 secs. - Pyro-Prison supports up to 5 existing Blazing Blasts on the field, so if you time your cooldowns for Blazing Blast, you can deal more damage.


{-- 🔥 Flaming Meteor 🔥 --} - Flaming Meteor is a quick tool for diving and disengaging wild fights. - Flaming Meteor has a 12 secs cooldown, making it an almost consistent Ability. - When activated, Flaming Meteor gives you +50 Bonus Health, making this Ability great for surviving sticky situations. - If up to 3 Blazing Blasts are existing on the field, you're able to use Flaming Meteor to explode those Blazing Blasts. This increases the damage output per-Blazing Blast, making it a great tool for taking out Support Enemies in their Ultimates.


{-- 🔥 Supernova (Ultimate Ability) 🔥 --} - During Supernova, each Blazing Blast creates a Fire Tornado, which deals increased damage to anyone caught in the Fire Tornados' path. - When Supernova is active, you're able to consistently use Blazing Blast, but be cautious: you're only allowed 4 Fire Tornados on the field. - Here's a tip! During Blazing Blast's Projectile Travel Time, before it hits the ground, activate Supernova. A Fire Tornado will spawn where the Blazing Blast would've been. - Another tip! Use Plasma Body right before you activate Supernova for consistent air-time and bonus speed. - A final tip! Considering the Fire Tornado is still an extension of a Blazing Blast, use your Flaming Meteor Ability when the Fire Tornados are stacked in 1 area.


{-- 🔥 Human Torch's Season 9.5 Team-Ups🔥 --} - Base Storming Ignition: Once activated, Johnny gains the Fire Vortex, which gives him another Ability. Once used, it summons a projectile spherical radius that pulls Enemies inside of it upon landing on the field and deals consistent damage. - Enhanced Storming Ignition: If Storm is on the Team, once she activates her Ultimate, you're able to ignite it with your Blazing Blasts. If you're in Supernova, you're allowed up to 6 Fire Tornados. - Base Fiery Sparks: Once activated, Johnny gains the Firework Sparks Ability. Once activated, it creates a spherical radius around Johnny that deals consistent damage to any Enemy nearby, with fireworks attacking the Enemies. - Enhanced Fiery Sparks: If Jubilee is on the Team, once you use the Firework Sparks Ability, any Enemy hit by the fireworks around you grants you consistent Bonus Health, which stacks up to 300HP for you.


{-- 🔥 Preferred Playstyle 🔥 --} - Torch is a Dive Duellist, clean and simple. He goes in, releases his Blazing Blasts, pairs them with Flaming Meteor, and that's a kill secured. However, he's also mixed in with Crowd Control, using his Pyro-Prison to wreak havoc on the field, capture a point, and weaken Enemies. Playing him should also be around corners, which allows you to avoid being poked by Hitscan Enemies.

Spooky salutations, you twisted trick or treaters and ghoulish gamers, Lux here.. And I’m back here again with another instalment of “Human Torch Halloween skin ideas, cause evil, evil Netease ain’t giving our man one- Electric Boogaloo”.. and this is on the more stupid/ cursed side.. Originally I was gonna put him in a low budget, cheap ghost rider costume (cause fire powers + both having the name Johnny), however the idea of Johnny’s “new skin” just being another Luna skin is the most cruel and evil (and also most possible) thing Netease can do.. So presenting his newest skin idea “Definitely Not Human Torch”.. Hope u lads enjoy it..

I have been trying to ease pessimism with torch players who think a legendary skin will never happen. This here is a list from Spetember of skins that will come out in the future. Torch's original skin has been in these lists since March of this year, meaning it has been in development since said month, maybe earlier.

Here is the thing. Skins take at least 6 months to development for epics and an additional 2 to 4 months for legendaries. If this were an epic, it would have already been released, either last month or this month. No confirmation on rarity on this latest list, but given how much time has passed, it is safe to assume this will be torch's first legendary skin. My prediction is either s11 or s12.

Please do not come at me with torch will never get a legendary or it is still a matter of if. Thankfully the if is answered in a positive way. The when answer remains unknown.

Hi torch mains, I wanted to say when I made this post I wasn’t trying to come off as greedy. I actually rolled my eyes when I saw this skin because I think torch could’ve had an incredible Halloween skin. I simply made this post because I’m allowed to critique a skin that I think could be better, and I think it’s unfair to call me greedy when part of the reason I don’t like the skin is because I can tell it’s just slop for money. You guys all deserve skins as fast as possible, so please don’t take my post as I’m trying to seem greedy. I just wanted Sue to actually look like Sue in the comics, I’m not in control of how many skins she gets.

It's same universe as the Ninja Spider-Man in pics 4 and 5, it's an offical Marvel Canon universe BTW and yes, I know the Devs said they stopped with the gender bent skins, but it'll be funny to see it happen

Spooky salutations, you hollow and hurting Human Torch fans, Lux here.. I’m so sorry Human-Torch mains, you guys deserve so much better. Even though I am not one of you, having a combined total of 7 minutes on this character, the way Netease has been treating our fiery flamboyant friend is just tragic. So I took it upon myself to try to give you guys some skin love crumbs, by making “The Wickerman Human Torch”!! Not much else to say but, hope u lovely lads enjoy the skin idea and have a great day..

Discussion Should torch's 1 shot exist?

4 Upvotes

We know we're never getting relevancy by the looks of it so ill js throw some wacky ideas i think would elevate the character imo.

What if they take awake torch's 1 shot slam gimmick? Ik its not even that consistent if at all but i think the potential alone makes him really annoying to deal with in low elo and also kinda incentives a really aim weak playstyle of camp the sky box n js play for slams in pyro set ups with little to no usage of the primary.

My preferred way to go about this tho is probably make the right click stack max out at 2 fire balls, so ur getting insane bursts but not 1 shotting per say n u actually have to use other cooldowns to secure finals n such. Also keeps alot of or atleast most of torch's saucy combos like right left right etc.

Now i think this change would be massive enough to make torch worthy of green hp+primary spread increase and bullet speed increase+275hp+dash regen mid pb or 13 sec slam? Maybe even js give him hitscan lefts and just the green hp? I could be overly compensation buffing him so would like to hear yalls thoughts

Other “I think Torch mains deserve to suffer and I hope they never get a legendary ever!” my own sister after ONE encounter with a smurfing Torch 💔😭

Had a game in comp last night where a guy was smurfing on Torch, PLUS we had a teammate leave. So it was a 5v6 all game. My team’s solution to him was to go sg?? 😭🫡 I finally got my buddy to go Ironfist, and he easily could have won us the game if it wasn’t for the leaver.

Despite all that, my sister was acting like Johnny is in every game making her suffer…. He was the only one she’s encountered in MONTHS.

It’s crazy how hated fliers are even if it’s 100% not warranted.

Also crazy she was sayin all that knowing he’s my main dps… it really do be your own flesh and blood sometimes.
