Fire starter: Difference between revisions
→Uses: Did some more testing and found out that Snowflake Fluttertail can also be damaged by the fire starters, but the fire starter won't disappear in that case, reworded accordingly
(Added Icy Blowhogs and Chillyhops to the list of affected enemies. Noted that low health Snowflake Fluttertail requires two fire starters to melt the ice. Also reworded that whole section with fire starters for combat, main bit was just saying how many fire starters are needed to kill the enemies instead of using fractions as most of the amounts aren't precise (i.e. Snowy and Chilly lose about 40% of their health, and Icy loses a little over an eighth)) |

The primary use of fire starters is to destroy [[dried plants]] when thrown at, in order to open up a path or object that was previously blocked by the plants. The fire starter will not be used up by this, so the Red Pikmin holding it can be called back and the fire starter used again, but it will not reset the time limit. | The primary use of fire starters is to destroy [[dried plants]] when thrown at, in order to open up a path or object that was previously blocked by the plants.

Throwing a fire starter at frozen [[hydro jelly]] or at an [[ice wall]] will instantly destroy it. In either case the fire starter disappears, and in the case of the ice wall, it is possible for the Pikmin to become frozen. | Throwing a fire starter at frozen [[hydro jelly]] or at an [[ice wall]] will instantly destroy it.
