Plan your next My Fire Is Bigger Than Yours session
This guide offers observation‑based exercises that let you explore the documented systems of My Fire Is Bigger Than Yours. By recording interactions, upgrade effects, and phase timing, you can identify reliable tactics without relying on hidden shortcuts.
01 / THE GUIDE
Object Interaction Study
Record the effect of each object type on fire size for the first ten throws. Compare results to pinpoint which objects give the strongest immediate growth and which favor longer chain reactions.
- Experiment with several object types early to see which generate the largest immediate boost.
- When the sun’s drowning effect becomes more noticeable, increase your throw frequency to stay ahead.
02 / THE GUIDE
Upgrade Synergy Mapping
Pick a core upgrade and pair it with three others. Note how each combination changes spread speed, reaction intensity, or overall fire stability, highlighting effective synergy clusters.
- Select upgrades that match your chosen flammable type for stronger specialization.
- Pair upgrades that boost spread with those that accelerate reactions for a balanced growth pattern.

03 / THE GUIDE
Phase Transition Timing
Measure fire size at the moment each phase begins. Analyze whether earlier or later transitions improve upgrade efficiency, informing optimal timing for phase shifts.
- Reserve upgrades that become useful later to avoid bottlenecks.
- When a new phase starts, pause briefly to reassess your build and tweak throw patterns.
04 / THE GUIDE
Specialization vs. Automation
Create two builds: one focused on a single flammable type, another using an automated layout. Play both through a full cycle and compare total fire growth and resistance to the sun.
- Begin with a single‑type specialization to learn its strengths before expanding.
- Automated layouts reduce manual throwing, allowing you to focus on upgrade timing.
05 / THE GUIDE
Sun Pressure Management
Track moments when the sun’s drowning effect becomes more pronounced. Identify which throw frequencies or upgrades most effectively counteract it.
- Steam Cloud can synchronize your progress across multiple installations.
- Family Sharing allows other members of your household to play without buying another copy.
