|Because the [[Scout (Classic)|Scout]] is very weak with only 75 total health and 50 total light armor, a [[Pyro (Classic)|Pyro]] would kill him off easily. He's also the class that can easily be killed by afterburn, so try to attack him with the Incendiary Cannon or block his path with napalm grenades, which will kill him, or at the very least, weaken him enough to be finished off by the rest of your team. And if you do spot a Scout roaming around, report his whereabouts and eliminate him as quickly as possible.

|The [[Sniper (Classic)|Sniper]] is another class that is generally easy to deal with, provided you stay out of his line of sight. The Sniper, with his extremely powerful [[Sniper Rifle (Classic)|Sniper Rifle]] and Automatic Rifle, can be very intimidating to a Pyro. If you encounter a Sniper, try to get as close as you can to him. The Sniper is the most ineffective at his main role when up close to the enemy.

| Due to the [[Soldier (Classic)|Soldier's]] insanely large health pool, coming face-to-face with one can kill you, if the Soldier is experienced. Nonetheless, there are some very useful tactics for eliminating a [[Soldier (Classic)|Soldier]]. You could fire your [[Incendiary Cannon]] at him. But beware, he could retaliate with his [[Rocket Launcher (Classic)|Rocket Launcher]], or his [[Double-Barrel Shotgun (Classic)|Double-Barrel Shotgun]]. Try not to get close, as the Soldier's rockets do more damage up close. Use this as a last resort method, in case you run out of ammo for all of your other weapons.

| The [[Demoman (Classic)|Demoman]] is a particularly dangerous class for the Pyro. For starters, the Demoman has [[Pipebomb Launcher (Classic)|Pipebombs]] that he can use to set traps. The Demolitions Man also has the [[Grenade Launcher (Classic)|Grenade Launcher]] that he can fire at you. They explode on contact if they hit you. Luckily, the Pyro can use the [[Incendiary Cannon]], as well as the [[Flamethrower (Classic)|Flamethrower]] to defend or attack.

| Just like the [[Scout (Classic)|Scout]], the [[Medic (Classic)|Medic]] is an easy target for a Pyro, assuming the Medic is alone. The Medic has both of his shotguns, the [[Single-Barrel Shotgun (Classic)|Single-Barrel Shotgun]] and the [[Double-Barrel Shotgun (Classic)|Double-Barrel Shotgun]]. He also has the [[Super Nailgun]], which is much more powerful than the regular [[Nailgun]]. Generally, you will find a Medic near his teammates, most often a  [[Heavy (Classic)|Heavy]] or [[Soldier (Classic)|Soldier]]. The Medic can also infect you with his Medkits, so watch out for those.
