Are Archons immune to fire or there is a bug?

[Sax2514]

Hello everybody,
Recently I threw an incendiary grenade to an Archon, hoping that he would be set aflame. Luckily, the burn effect was applied, because the icon with the tiny flame appeared, so I thought that for that turn I was safe. Then at the beginning of the alien turn, he just moved over my ranger and made a melee attack, which almost killed her. Is it a bug or am I missing something?
Also, I noticed the same thing happened with faceless during rendesvous, in patch 1.1: even if the icon with the flame appeared, they just move over my rebels and slash them. For this reason I didn't use flamethrower on them ever since.

The burning status does not prevent units that can melee from doing so.

Fixed that for you

Ha, now that actually should be a bug, no reason my gunner can't stab a snek just because he's got a few 3rd degree burns.

I didn't know that, thank you for your answers.
