Scorch can be pretty amazing but I just wanna know how it's used

Highlight a water and a fire and watch your enemy run away while you lose two units.

Run them behind a charrog into their base and hope they don't have wall researched. If they do make a wall blow them up anyways for the lols

Scorch isn't reliable, don't use it. It isn't armor piercing, it just has ridiculous stun and knockback, not something you want to sacrifice 800 gold for. Overall, don't try to utilize it.

If you can hit archers or miners it can be devastating. But it's quite difficult to pull off.

vs something like chaos or ele scorch can be used pretty effectively vs both as they have no walls as long as u have a prior tank beforehand.
usually an inferno suffices if you need something like scorch. as scorch only instakills archers and unupgraded miners crawlers or bombs but why scorch bombs XD?
honestly im quite disappointed on the lack of seriousness in the responses.
he's asking a legit question regarding ele.

yes they can dodge but not every time.
learn how and when to time your scorch.
only use it if you are certain u will hit something and make it count.

Even if it hits it's a waste of 800 gold worth of units most of the time.

I thought that at first too because you cant control where the explosion is but it takes out sword and archer rushers quickly so I can run to their base and twerk all over their statue with my charrogs

^^rofl
anywho
just the mere possibility of scorch will keep units at bay
use this to your advantage.
most people will be tempted to dodge. u can simply hold off until then if you have trees

If you hit 3 archers you've made a profit.

not quite
u lost a ranged dot unit and a healer

Exactly this. 3 Archers generally won't be mass healing your army or forcing back units with burn/fusing into charrogs.

Yeah, but you'll have an easier time getting those units back than they will.

Rain and pumu are right. 3 archers isn't worth a ranged dot unit or a mass healer that can freeze important targets, turn into a tree.
I don't understand why you just keep saying scorch is fine, you don't seem to be reading the posts from before.

I have read them, doesn't mean I need to take their word as law. I realize scorch is difficult to land, but it can be very powerful if you do land it. Fire and water in their base before they have hustle? GG. Stunned a bunch of archers with your cycloid, have a fire and water running in? GG. If you miss you've wasted 800 gold, but if you hit the right targets, you can almost get an insta-win. So scorch is a gamble in the sense that it isn't very reliable or consistent, but it can easily win you the game if you land it in a good spot.
