Burn push
Chapter push · Chapter 89Tiger's 25% weapon damage and 30% Crit Rate at fight start add to Short-Term Memory's bonus, which stays high because this build runs few spells. Red Dragon's opener and Mimic's merges keep the early rounds short.

Tier: B on the Overgeared Hero: Merge RPG tier list
Up to 30% damage for keeping Weapon Spells few, which pulls against his own spell supplies; Meow Mage scales with spells instead.
Overview
Fire Mage rewards a lean spell list. Short-Term Memory raises all damage by up to 30%, and the fewer Weapon Spells in the backpack, the more of that bonus he keeps. That pushes his runs toward one big damage piece instead of many small spells: his chapter clears build around a Thunder Dragon with a staff and a haste item, with Primal Flame and Gloves of Plague adding burn underneath.
The trade-off is real. His own supplies are spells too, so leaning on them eats into the bonus. Meow Mage turns every spell hit into permanent ATK instead of punishing spell count, which is why she ranks well above him. Fire Mage is a solid free Wizard for learning burn, and worth replacing once you own an Epic mage.
