Fire Element - Final Fantasy (NES)

Fire

Spells FIR2, FIR3, FIRE

Resistant Armor Dragon Armor, Ice Armor, Ice Shield, Ribbon, White Robe

Fire is your staple attack Spell Element, and one you'll be hit with quite a lot. You'll find plenty of Armor that resists Fire, which is fortunate because you'll run into 6 normal enemies with Fire Special Attacks, and several more using Fire Spells. On the offensive side, Fire is most effective against Undead and Cold-type creatures. A lot of Monsters resist Fire as well, including those that are themselves fiery, as well as creatures that live in water. Fire is a weakness you'll be exploiting a lot, but you need to pay close attention to weaknesses to get the most out of it. Note that, despite the name, NUKE is not actually Fire-elemental.
