I don't really see this making sense, why would a sword strike explode? I'm all for more build variety, but if we're talking salamandra, I think what we need to focus on is buffing the other two flame arts or adding new ones. Explosion salamandras are basically all we see.

Make the poison flame not scale from guile of all things.

Make the purging flame trait a bit more punchy to make up for that cooldown (aren't you supposed to spam this thing to build up its power?).

I personally don't think salamandra needs to become a go-to no-san crit physical build, just give it more variety, heck, give it a flame art that makes the salamandra flame skill into a self-buff that gives you bonus strength or fire damage on hit, or you explode when damaged, like your magma blood is flaring.

EDIT: I just realised fire physical damage can't explode and that's probably what you meant. I agree that should be added for sure, since it just makes sense!
