fire arrows

Burning bow ammunition

Fire arrows are arrows designed to carry and deliver flame, typically wrapped with combustible material near the tip and ignited before shooting.

Used historically in siege warfare to set enemy fortifications ablaze: The defenders watched fire arrows arc over the walls.

In video games and fantasy settings, fire arrows often appear as enchanted ammunition that deals additional burning damage.
