Firthrowers, and throwers as a category (even if there's only just one right now!) could be so much cooler than just a straight line. They don't really compare in the slightest to launchers (well, jackhammer) for AoE, even if they feel like they're meant to be complements to each other.

So I suggest... making firthrowers and any future throwers attack in a cone shape! Similar to how hyattr breath works right now. That is, it starts in a 3-tile wide line, but after every two tiles, it gets an extra tile wider on either side.

You - three wide - three wide - five wide - five wide - seven - seven, so on.

The base firthrower could be 4 tiles long, for example. But... things that increase attack range, like Gigantic and Long Barrels, could increase the length of the line by 1 instead, the width growing with it. As is, they do nothing.

(Not really a 'balance change', but a new squirt gun thrower that applies soaked would be funny, pls dev)

Firthrower needs a pretty big overhaul imo.

First of all, I think the firthrower's basic attack should hit everyone in a line like it currently does. But increasing its range should make the line longer.

Then you can add two special attacks. One would be "napalm" and it would create cinder tiles in a wide line, with a 2 round cd and 20% reduced hit chance and damage. However, the cinder tiles it creates should be very powerful.

The second special attack would be "spread", and it would hit a cone with a basic attack. This would give it a pretty good aoe, but with 10% less hit chance. 1 Round cd.

All of these would also apply the burn on hit

Agreed.

Then after this we get the Kelsoaker. Turns highly pressurized water into a deadly weapon. And then we get the Ryethrower which arcs between enemies.
