Strategy
The Lore of Fire is a great lore that is difficult to go wrong with. The lore attribute makes all units 12% weaker to fire damage which compounds on other fire weaknesses like regeneration or Tomb Kings lords for example.

Cascading Fire Cloak is a defensive and offensive spell that boosts melee defence and armour piercing damage. Both are very useful stats to have in combat, taking less hits and dealing more armour piercing damage.

Fireball is a useful snipe spell that is good for blasting enemies. Very straightforward.

Flame Storm is a fiery vortex that is very random, but destroys blobs of infantry. It is a costly spell and there are better spells in the lore.

Flaming Sword of Rhuin is a raw damage upgrade that also imbues fire damage on affected units. This is great when coupled with the lore passive allowing all units to do more damage. It also affects missile damage, so can be used to give fire attacks to ranged units as well.

Piercing bolts is a straightforward bombardment spell. It can do a decent amount of damage to blobs, but also to large units if it falls directly on them.

Finally, the Burning Head is one of the better wind spells in the game. It lasts for a long time, so it can end up impacting enemies who seemed out of reach from the initial path. Its movement can also send it careening towards friends or foes, so be wary. That being said, it does a tremendous amount of damage and can tear through all but the most heavily armoured infantry in the game.
