Firebrand
Firebrand is an NPC in PHIGHTING!.
In-Game
At One Minute Left, there will be a chance for Firebrand's event to occur, signalled by his sword appearing in the center of the map and the screen being tinted orange. During the event, large columns of fire will rain down, their location indicated by star-like shaped on the ground. This will cause the player to take 10 damage initially, then continue to take damage. The damage will stop short of killing the player, which can leave one extremely vulnerable. Getting hit will also grant the player 30% haste for 2 seconds, a benefit that stacks if the player is hit again in that time period.
Personality
Firebrand is the most gentle sword of the SFOTH deities. He has a fascination for mortals, similar to how humans treat pets. This contrasts with Windforce, his sister, who is destructive and holds no regard for mortals.
Lore
Firebrand's hands are too hot to touch.
