Strategy

 * Use Gubraithian Fire OR Spicy Grapes OR Call Demon+Ring Of Fire with an Energize Staff to keep yourself on Fire every turn. The former 2 options can be used with other Staffs as well, such as one charged with Death, Disarm, Polymorph, or Liquidize (esp. in a duel) or Cards Of Fate.
 * Optionally, you can even Energize every turn with Fire from a source listed above along with an Energize Staff, Condense Magic/Fairy Form: Extract Essence, and Chaotic Energy OR a Living Energize Staff and either The Pied Piper's Pipe or Gnome, Conjurer's Cookbook, and Condense Magic/Fairy Form: Extract Essence OR Ring Of Fire with Class Talent (or potentially Jewelizer) with an Energize Staff and Jewel Juicer OR an Energize Staff, Tinker (esp. with Talent)/Soldering Torch, Metro-Gnome, and Kronos' Sickle. This can be especially strong if you are a Lawyer due to turn denial with the Objection! Talent in an FFA.
 * Hot Potato and Warlock's Fire skills along with periodic Fire Foliots from Call Demon are less effective but useful alternatives to keep yourself on Fire every turn.


 * Avoid gaining Fire Immunity to protect your items since it removes Fire. Instead, gain Frigid Fairy for use every turn along with Frostfire Figurine OR gain Frostfire Protection along with either Frost Immunity or Frostfire Figurine or a Frostproof, Highly Flammable item OR gain Apollo's Phoenix (ideally with either Fireproof enchantments on the Scarf and any other items essential for Fire looping or with 3 Highly Flammable junk items) OR gain the Gobbo King Buff OR gain the 3 basic Gobbos with the Fireproof enchantment (such that the King is burned every turn.) If using an Energize Staff every turn, Deadly Illusion w/Class Talent can also be used.
 * Enchant's Fireproof enchantment is a less effective but useful alternative.
 * With Apollo's Phoenix, beware that other players within 50 spaces of you can break the protection with their items burning.


 * With Frostfire Protection protecting your items from Fire, the protection will be interrupted when you die because your Aegis will be lowered. To remedy this:
 * You could raise the Aegis again with Ethereal Gloves/Ethereal Soul while Dead (or even enchant the Aegis to be Ethereal for the same purpose.)
 * Balm Of Anubis can be used to maintain protection while Dead (and for thawing items if you don't have Bearskin Vest/Spear Of Skadi) at the cost of your Fire being removed even if you quickly revive.
 * Beware that if you are Disarmed, then killed, then revived and set on Fire, the first option will be circumvented; a Saboteur could do this and make your Scarf Highly Flammable to burn it. Also, the 2bd option can be circumvented by destroying your Frozen items as with Shatter. Having other Highly Flammable items as a buffer to reduce the chance of the Scarf burning or having Apollo's Phoenix as backup is ideal.


 * Ruby Necklace allows for a constant Speed Boost if on Fire every turn.
 * If using Spicy Grapes every turn, gain Uni-Corn to cast a random Light Spell on yourself every turn.
 * The Earthwarder's Sigil can prevent the constant knockback from Fire.

Trivia

 * Inspired by the thermo that introduced the Frozen status.
