Captain

2 builds

Torch is the core weapon of the best Captain build: it constantly applies burning, scales excellently with Elemental Damage and burn‑spread items, and lets you run with very few weapons early on to fully exploit Captain’s XP bonus.

Wildling

2 builds

Torch is a Primitive melee weapon that synergizes with Wildling’s lifesteal bonus while scaling heavily with Elemental Damage and burning spread. In the Torch Wildling build it provides safe, consistent AoE damage that doesn’t rely on high-tier upgrades, making it ideal for lower difficulties or tankier, regen-focused playstyles.

Gladiator

2 builds

Torch adds burning damage and some crowd control, giving Gladiator a damage-over-time source that keeps working while he repositions or focuses bigger targets.

Stats: Melee Damage · Attack Speed · HP Regeneration

Mage

1 build

Torch is an excellent early-game elemental weapon for Mage, stacking burn and spreading it, then later being replaced by stronger AoE options once your burn engine is online.
