    • Note: "The Red Panda" refers to the Fire Spirit, one of the three elemental spirits summoned by Brewmaster during his ultimate ability, Primal Split. This FAQ focuses on the Fire Spirit's role within Brewmaster's kit.

    1. Who is "The Red Panda"?

    The Red Panda (Fire Spirit) is one of three elemental spirits summoned by Brewmaster when he casts Primal Split (ultimate ability). It embodies fire, dealing high damage and disarming enemies.

    2. Abilities Overview

    The Fire Spirit has three abilities:

  • Immolation (Passive)
  • Burns nearby enemies for 30/50/70 damage per second (scales with Primal Split level).
  • Role: Constant AoE damage for pushing lanes or team fights.
  • Drunken Brawler (Passive/Active)
  • Passive: Grants 20% chance to crit for 200% damage.
  • Active: Disarms a target for 3 seconds (12-second cooldown).
  • Role: Burst damage and disabling key right-click enemies (e.g., carry heroes).
  • Permanent Immolation (Aghanim’s Scepter Upgrade)
  • Increases Immolation damage to 90 damage per second and grants the Fire Spirit 500 bonus health.

    • 3. Combat Style

  • Role: High-damage dealer and disabler.
  • Strengths:
  • Exceptional at melting low-HP enemies and structures.
  • Disarm shuts down physical attackers (e.g., PA, Sven).
  • Synergizes with Brewmaster’s Earth Spirit (tank) and Storm Spirit (slow).
  • Weaknesses:
  • Fragile without Aghanim’s Scepter.
  • Requires micro-management to position effectively.

    • 4. How to Play the Fire Spirit

  • Early Game: Use Immolation to pressure lanes or jungle camps.
  • Team Fights: Focus on disarming the enemy carry and staying near clustered enemies.
  • Pushing: Lead with the Fire Spirit to burn down towers/barracks.
  • Micro Tips:
  • Keep the Fire Spirit at the edge of fights to avoid burst damage.
  • Use Disarm proactively on high-threat targets.

    • 5. Item Synergy

  • Aghanim’s Scepter: Mandatory for boosting survivability and damage.
  • Shard Upgrade: Not applicable (abilities are fixed to Primal Split).

    • 6. Countering the Fire Spirit

  • Magic Resistance/HP Stacking: Reduces Immolation’s impact (e.g., Pipe of Insight, Hood of Defiance).
  • Kite or Burst: Focus the Fire Spirit first if Brewmaster lacks Aghanim’s.
  • Disables: Lock it down with stuns/silences to neutralize its damage.

    • 7. Advanced Tips

  • Pair the Fire Spirit with Storm Spirit’s Cyclone to isolate targets.
  • Use Disarm during enemy carry’s BKB to mitigate their damage window.
  • Aghanim’s Scepter turns the Fire Spirit into a raid boss—prioritize this item.

    • Final Note: Mastering the Fire Spirit requires balancing aggression with positioning. Use it to dominate team fights and secure objectives, but avoid overextending!
