The Torch synergizes well with the Oiled Sword. Hitting an enemy with the Torch and following with the Oiled Sword will guarantee dealing critical damage.
Notes[]
"Extra damage to status effect" affixes apply to the weapon's attacks as well as the inflicted burn status.
The Torch is functionally a melee version of Firebrands, but does much more damage. This damage isn't enough to compete with other melee weapons, so the Torch is best used as a tool to inflict burn enemies. Having the Torch and Firebrands together is ill-advised.
