Fodder to the Flame (Covenant ability)

Fodder to the Flame is the demon hunter class ability of the Necrolord Covenant. It's available to all demon hunters who join the Necrolords.

This ability is also temporarily available during the Maldraxxus portion of the Shadowlands campaign; it's given by the quest Champion the Cause and lasts until you finish the Maldraxxus storyline.

• Using this ability will summon a doomguard, felguard, felhound, infernal, shivarra, ur'zul, or wrathguard. All of them have only a basic melee attack.
• Throw Glaive deals about half the demon's health in damage.
• While Empowered Demon Soul is active, you glow a pale green. This is a good way to quickly tell whether you picked up the demon's soul after defeating it.
• The demon's corpse will remain for 2 minutes, allowing ample time to use Fleshcraft on it.
• Empowered Demon Soul benefits from the duration increase of Demonic Bias.
• In its initial form, Fodder to the Flame was seen as one of the weakest covenant abilities overall, due to the fact that the buff only lasted 5 seconds, the demon had a large amount of health, and the demon's attacks meant that this ability could actually kill the player rather than help them. Patch 9.0.5 attempted to remedy this by making the demon go down in one use of Throw Glaive and increasing the ability's duration.
