Ensorcelled with the essence of living flame.

Fireballs on the Side

Cinder Switch adds a pleasant chunk of bonus damage: with every attack there is a chance you also hurl a Fireball. This extra projectile costs no resource and simply rides along while you attack normally - a nice extra push that triggers often during quick attack chains.

The axe suits builds that lean into fire or just want free added damage. Because the effect is tied to your attacks, characters with high attack frequency gain the most, since the proc cashes in more often. Tip: run it in a fire-focused setup so the extra Fireball benefits from your elemental bonuses too, rather than fizzling out as an isolated drop.

The Chance Is the Roll That Matters

The trigger chance ranges from 25–50% - the top value is twice the bottom one. At 25%, only about one attack in four throws a fireball; at 50%, one in two. When you compare two axes, this number outweighs everything else. A Primal Ancient Cinder Switch has the full 50%.

The axe itself swings at 1.10 attacks per second; anything that raises your attack speed also raises the number of chances for a fireball. Since the chance is checked anew on every attack, streaks of several fireballs in a row are just as possible as longer dry spells.

Fixed Stats and What Stays Open

The fixed roll is +(1,177–1,439)–(1,410–1,788) Fire Damage, and the base values are 1384-1685 damage. The axe carries no further fixed values. If you want another stat such as a main attribute on the axe, the Mystic can re-enchant one property.

Living Flame

The flavor text is brief: the axe is ensorcelled with the essence of living flame - hence the fireball that can fly along with every swing. Name, power and fixed Fire Damage all share the same motif.
