Soul Fire is a Destruction warlock talent. It is a high damage direct damage Fire spell which generates 4 Soul Shard Fragments.

Tips and tactics[]

It is best used as your initial attack for pulling due to its long cast time. In this sense it is similar to the Mage's Spell fire fireball02 [Pyroblast] ability.

This skill is generally one of the warlock's most mana-efficient spells.

The long cast time makes it harder to use in PvP as the time spent casting it is time gained for an enemy player to tear you to pieces.

Notes[]

  • Commonly misspelled Soulfire by Blizzard.
  • Soulfire is a basic Warlock spell in Hearthstone. The flavor text reads: "Are you lighting a soul on fire? Or burning someone with your OWN soul? This seems like an important distinction."
