Strategy
You can easily clear out Towns by using a Horse to round up all the enemies before throwing a Molotov to kill them.
You can use Molotovs to block off corners and chokepoints, preventing enemies from easily approaching. These can include doorways in Houses, corners in the Castle, or even the gate at Fort Constitution.
You can bait mobs into your line of fire, maximizing the usage of your Molotovs.
If you are playing with teammates who have the Vampire, Werewolf, or Cowboy classes, it is recommended to let them lure all enemies together before using your Molotovs.
Pros & cons
Immune to fire damage.
Can easily clear out groups of enemies (like the first town) with the starter molotovs and doubled fire damage.
Can demolish a massive amount of enemies in Kerosene Rain due to the Fire being able to spread rapidly, This is useful in the Fire Desert since Kerosene Rain is guranteed.
2x Fire damage allows for great crowd control since most fire-based weapons are exceptionally good in that area.
