Basic Trope: Physical weakness to fire.
- Straight: Blaze uses fire to kill a monster, which is its Weaksauce Weakness.
- Exaggerated:
- All of Blaze's enemies are especially weak to fire.
- The monster cannot be harmed by anything else except for fire — and fire kills it instantly.
- Downplayed: The monster can be harmed by regular weapons, but fire is much more efficient.
- Justified:
- It's a case of Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors — the monster is based on an element that is naturally weak to fire, such as ice, or plants/nature.
- The monster is undead, and Burn the Undead is most efficient in this setting.
- Fire Keeps It Dead
- Inverted:
- Immune to Fire
- Heal It With Fire
- The monster's attacks are most efficient against fire.
- Subverted: ???
- Double Subverted: ???
- Parodied: ???
- Zig-Zagged: ???
- Averted: Fire is not the monster's weakness.
- Enforced:
- It's a video game, and the monster needs some sort of weakness so that the game isn't too difficult.
- The work is trying to give Blaze something important to do, so they give him an enemy that is weak against his fire powers.
- Lampshaded: ???
- Invoked: ???
- Exploited: ???
- Defied: ???
- Discussed: "I think this monster might be weak to fire, given it's ice-based."
- Conversed: ???
