How does Snapdragon fire work?
So I've been doing the prize map quests recently for snap, and I noticed whilst grinding through the "ignite enemies" quest that snap's fire isn't consistent, sometimes you burn stuff instantly, other times you need to almost kill it to burn it, so is snap's fire chance based (ie 10% chance to burn enemy when they're hit once by flameblower) or is it something to do with hitting the enemy with a specific part of the fire hitbox, because I honestly can't wrap my head around this.
- @Sammichu I finished the SnapDragon challenges myself earlier.
There seems to be a simple random chance that a Zombie will ignite when exposed to any of the SnapDragon's fire attacks but I don't think that percentage is stated anywhere specifically.
This means that sometimes an enemy will ignite immediately and sometimes they won't at all, but in general if you are using Flameblower on enemies with higher health, like a Gargantuar, you'll almost certainly collect several ignitions to the total before that enemy is vanquished.
I ultimately wound up just doing solo Ops in Town Center without planting any pots and then just deliberately checked off most of the needed attacks over the 5 waves and then finished up by attacking the Gargantuar, Champions and Zombie Heroes scattered around Pressure Pier.
