	As you would expect from a starting god, Ignis is a massive boon in the early-game; just make sure to use its abilities while they are still relevant. D:3 [[orc priest]] pack giving you trouble? A Foxfire Swarm (up to 24 individual [[Foxfire]]s) is almost certainly bound to kill them. ~~24 Foxfires will~~ fare ~~somewhat worse (though are still quite effective)~~ against a [[hydra]], but ~~they~~ won't do well against ~~mid-level groups or much~~ stronger ~~foes~~. A huge portion of otherwise extremely dangerous threats in the upper dungeon can be avoided through one of Ignis' invocations. ~~Even then~~, Rising Flame is a superior [[scroll of teleportation]] -- useful anywhere, with little risk of danger if you've cleared the floor above you.		As you would expect from a starting god, Ignis is a massive boon in the early-game; just make sure to use its abilities while they are still relevant. D:3 [[orc priest]] pack giving you trouble? A Foxfire Swarm (up to 24 individual [[Foxfire]]s) is almost certainly bound to kill them. The abilities still fare alright against [[hydra]]-level enemies, but won't do well against stronger opponents, so make sure to benefit while you can. A huge portion of otherwise extremely dangerous threats in the upper dungeon can be avoided through one of Ignis' invocations. In any case, Rising Flame is a superior [[scroll of teleportation]] -- useful anywhere, with little risk of danger if you've cleared the floor above you.

	And, as you would expect from a god with finite piety, Ignis is a god designed to be abandoned. ~~Its~~ wrath is weak, ~~but~~ not so weak to be a pushover, and powerful enough to discourage switching gods as soon as you find the [[Temple]]. ~~Consider your character's strength by the time you finish~~ [[Lair]] or ~~the main portion of the [[Dungeon]]~~. If/when you decide to switch, the fact that you're choosing a god much later gives a lot of flexibility. As usual, consider your character and what the dungeon has given you before (re)-devoting your faith.		And, as you would expect from a god with finite piety, Ignis is a god designed to be abandoned. While the wrath is weak, it's not so weak to be a pushover, and powerful enough to discourage switching gods as soon as you find the [[Temple]]. One potential place to abandon Ignis is after completing [[Lair]]:1-4, but before tackling Lair:5, late Dungeon, or Orc. The latter two branches tend to be relatively easy, and you cannot be shafted inside Lair:5.

			If/when you decide to switch, the fact that you're choosing a god much later gives a lot of flexibility. As usual, consider your character and what the dungeon has given you before (re)-devoting your faith.
