The Fire Mushroom is a Legendary Tools Gadget introduced in the 11.1.0 update.
Appearance
It is a mushroom with a red cap and speckled with white dots, a white to orange shaded handle and a black outline on the handle. It is modeled after the common toadstool, and so bears a similar likeliness.
Performance
Over time, a player who activates this gadget releases 3 rings of fire around themselves. It takes 2-3 rings to kill an average player, but at higher levels, it may be more difficult. At maximum level, this gadget can emit 5 rings in total.
Strategy
Tips
- Use this in close range maps like in Pool Party.
- Try to be surrounded by a couple of enemies, in order to get multiple kills.
- Use this against weakened enemies, in order to get easier kills.
- Use its Burning attribute as an advantage, as it will still affect enemies after you die and over time.
Counters
- Stay out of its range.
- Pick off its users from medium or long-range with a Sniper weapon.
- Try to eliminate its users before all 3 attacks are activated.
- Avoid close-ranged encounters with other players, as it is the ideal situation for this gadget to be used.
- Quickly eliminate the user before the Fire Mushroom inflicts damage.
- Rocket Jump to distance yourself from the attacks.
- Equip a weapon with the Gadget Blocker attribute to prevent opponents from using this.
- If possible, take advantage of a Set effect or Wear which ignores the Burning effect.
- Use a weapon such as the Pulling Sucker Gun to make a swift escape.
- Equip a pet such as the Cyber Phoenix to occasionally block your opponent's Gadgets.
- Use the time in between the attacks to escape or eliminate the user.
