Burning is a damaging condition in Valheim. You can apply the burning condition by hitting a creature with fire arrows or a torch and can start burning by standing too close to fires, being hit by a torch, or blasted by a Fuling Shaman’s fireball.
Burning lasts a few seconds, deals damage over time, and engulfs the target with fire.
We think that burning will temporarily remove cold or freezing but haven’t tested it yet. We’ll update this page once we find out.
