Bound By Flame Guide: Pyromancer Skill Tree

The Pyromancer is the magic-based skill tree in Bound By Flame. It is not a separate stance like dual-wielding and warrior. Instead, they’re skills that you use in any stance. It still has its own tree and you have to put points in it to make it better, like the other trees.

This skill tree is great on its own, but also very helpful for either of the other two fighting styles. If you like magic and long-ranged combat, or just making your other fighting styles more powerful, then the Pyromancer is for you!

This guide will cover everything about the Pyromancer skill tree including:

• Pyromancer Skill List – Every skill in the Pyromancer tree and what they do.
• Suggested Skills – Tips on what skills to look at and suggestions on what to get first.

Pyromancer Skill List

There are four tiers of the skill tree: Novice, Amateur, Expert, and Master. Each requires a certain number of points to reach the next tier and you start with Novice already unlocked. 

• Amateur requires six points in the Pyromancer skill tree to unlock.
• Expert requires 12 points.
• Master requires 24 points.

Reaching these tiers unlocks new skills to use points on. There are five total skill lines: Orb of Fire, Burning Weapon, Concentration, Flame Mastery, and Intense Heat. You must put points in the skill lines to unlock skills in the higher tiers of the tree.

Each skill has three levels to upgrade. After unlocking each tier, you can put points in equal to the number of the previous tier. For example: If you put two points in a skill and unlocked the next tier, you can only put two points in the next skill. Once you put three points in the previous skill, you can put 3 points in the higher skill.

Suggested Skills

I’ll go over some skills, and order to get them in, for those wanting to use magic as their main source of damage.

• Orb of Fire first. This is your main attack and does a lot of damage, especially when upgraded. I suggest at least upgrading to level 3 of the Novice tier.
• Concentration is the best skill line. It adds damage to all your fire skills, critical hit chance, more orbs of fire, more magic/magic regen, and anything else you could want. Of course, you still need to put points in the other skills to make this worth it.
• Flaming Weapon next, even if you don’t use it much. You only need one tier of it, then you can put points in Conflagration, as long as you put point in Orb of Fire.
• Pick up Guardian Flames and/or Fire Wave depending on what you want more. If you die easily, try using Guardian Flames. If you want to keep people away from you, use Fire Wave.
