This build is best with Pyro Emblem because you need Flames to craft Burning Blade and Flamewhip. You can get Flames later on with Anvil. That's possible too.
The goal of this build is to generate as much heat as possible with Flamewhip and you'll get more damage with Molten Blade if you generate Heat.
It's important to put generated items around Anvil and that's pretty easy to do with Burning Coal or Dragonskin Boots.
Sun Armor can be very useful aswell to generate Heat early on.
Before you craft Flame Whip you should have a way of generating Spikes. For example with Pineapple or Djin Lamp. Otherwise Thorn Whip is just better.
Wolpertinger can generate Spikes later on aswell and helps with Stamina too.
Stone Helm and Cap of Discomfort and Winged Boots can be good defensive Items
