Strategy
Cinder Acolytes revolve around Ignis, who grants immediate, but limited, divine favor. Ignis provides abilities that are very strong in the early game; those should be enough to bail you out of most any situation before and even during Lair. Using them will eventually burn your god out (and even if it doesn't, won't scale into the midgame). Deciding when to switch gods (if at all) is very important for a prospective Acolyte.
Acolytes begin the game with both a flaming weapon and Scorch. The former, while somewhat inaccurate, will deal serviceable damage in melee. The latter will always hit, and deals respectable damage even without training any more Fire Magic. However, training (much) more magic is ill-advised until you get access to more spells.
History
- Cinder Acolyte will be introduced in 0.28.
