Only some demons are fire-immune, plus what EDI says below.

Flambeau does not do fire damage, it does 3x damage against demons and undead + the fire effect. Fire resistance on demons only protects against the extra fire, they take 3x damage from the normal blow, meaning 3x(str+weapon damage) and that's going to hurt.

Aye, they come with one of the SC Pretenders, Kali I believe. Virtue, another SC comes with a Flambeu too. Good stuff if you are going up against EA Yomi.

Yep, the Kali. Davana's have similar weapons that affect mortals instead.

Even with the anti-demon measures, demons, properly used, are incredibly dangerous.

Yeah, it's like tanks in modern wars. Sure, you can use anti-tank weapons to take them out, but you can't really depend on having them on hand every time they show up.

Anti-daemon measures are quite effective, if you've got them at hand.
