+ | | | ||
+ | * It is very difficult to escape the Pyro's Flame Thrower once caught, so take note of routes a Pyro can take so that you can repel them before they reach you. | ||
+ | ** Pyros will generally wait behind turns or hide behind objects for a chance at successfully ambushing you. Going around them at a distance will give you more reaction time to deal with them. | ||
+ | ** If you can't escape the Pyro, try to weaken them for your teammates before they kill you. | ||
+ | * If the Pyro sets you on fire, extinguish yourself as soon as possible to reduce [[afterburn]] damage. Health packs, certain teammates, and bodies of water can all extinguish flames. | ||
+ | ** An allied Pyro can extinguish you with their compression blast or a few choice secondary weapons. An allied Scout's [[Mad Milk]], a Heavy's [[Sandvich]], and a Sniper's [[Jarate]] also work. | ||
+ | |- | ||

+ | | | ||
+ | * Watch your surroundings at all times to reduce the chances of a successful ambush by a Pyro. | ||
+ | * The Backburner deals guaranteed Critical hits from behind. If the Pyro finds you, keep facing them while you fight back. | ||
+ | * The Backburner uses much more ammunition for compression blasts; forcing a Pyro to reflect projectiles with it will quickly deplete the weapon's ammo. Knowing this, a Backburner Pyro will use its compression blast less often. | ||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | align="center" valign="center" style="padding:0.5em" | {{Table icon|Degreaser}} | ||
+ | | | ||
+ | * The Degreaser allows a Pyro to quickly switch weapons. This makes [[Community Scout strategy|weapon heckling]] much less effective. | ||
+ | * The Degreaser deals minimal afterburn damage and requires slightly more ammo to airblast. Expect the Pyro to use another weapon, such as the Flare Gun or Axtinguisher, to finish you off. | ||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | align="center" valign="center" style="padding:0.5em" | {{Table icon|Phlogistinator}} | ||
+ | | | ||
+ | * The Phlogistinator promotes an opportunistic playstyle. Don't allow the Pyro to freely ambush teammates or ignite you from long range with flares, which will fill their "Mmmph" meter. | ||
+ | * The Pyro can activate a fully charged Phlogistinator to gain guaranteed Critical hits. A full charge is indicated by the weapon's nozzle sparking. | ||
+ | ** If the Pyro taunts in the open for brief invulnerability, have your team prepare for their attempted rampage. Class-specific methods include laying a carpet of Stickybombs, charging the Sniper Rifle, and getting into position for the Knife's [[backstab]]. | ||
+ | * The Phlogistinator cannot airblast, so you can freely use rockets, grenades, and other projectiles against the Pyro without fear of reflection. | ||
+ | * You are always free to retreat and wait for "Mmmph" to run out. | ||
+ | * If a Pyro with the Phlogistinator has not shown it for a while, they may be trying to hide their full "Mmmph". Be extra alert for ambushes or any of the [[Pyro taunts#Primary|primary taunt voice lines]] and try to notify your team. | ||
|- | |- | ||
− | | | + | | align="center" valign="center" style="padding:0.5em" | {{Table icon|Dragon's Fury}} |
| | | | ||
− | * | + | * The Dragon's Fury shoots fireballs instead of a wide spread of flames, actually giving you opportunities to dodge the Pyro's attacks. |
− | * | + | * Be as unpredictable as you can; the weapon reloads quickly if the Pyro can land successive shots, and accurate shots inflict heavy damage to you. |
+ | * While the Dragon's Fury can use the compression blast, using the compression blast takes much longer for the Pyro to attack again compared to other primary weapons. Pressure from projectiles will force a Pyro with this weapon to take cover. | ||

| | | | ||
− | *The | + | * The Rainblower functions identically to the Flame Thrower but also comes with the [[Armageddon]] taunt attack. |
− | * | + | * There are multiple distinct cues during the 3 seconds Armageddon takes to activate, including rainbows (flames), a neighing unicorn (only in Pyroland), and a [[Dreams of Cruelty|menacing song]]. Don't blindly rush around corners. |
− | + | * Without [[Pyrovision]], the Rainblower is not visible, except for in the kill feed. Keep in mind that the Pyro has taunt attacks on other weapons too. | |

| | | | ||
− | *The | + | * The compression blast's most obvious use is to shove enemies into environmental hazards, such as off cliffs, or into corners, where you are easier to target. Stay away from areas where a Pyro can easily pin you down or push you off the map. |
− | *The | + | * The compression blast can reflect [[projectiles]]; use bullets, if using projectiles fire from outside the Pyro's line of sight, or change the timing of your shots to avoid having them be reflected. |
− | * | + | * The compression blast has a small cooldown time. Two teammates can easily overwhelm a Pyro with more projectiles than they can reflect. |
+ | * The compression blast uses a significant amount of ammunition; if you can trick the Pyro into using their compression blasts, they may run out of ammo, giving you the upper hand. | ||
+ | ** Pay attention to which primary the Pyro has equipped. Some flamethrowers consume more ammo than others when using a compression blast. | ||

+ | | align="center" valign="center" style="padding:0.5em" | {{Table icon|Shotgun}} + '''reskins''' | ||
+ | | | ||
+ | * The Shotgun is the Pyro's best secondary weapon against foes outside the flamethrower's range as well as against enemy Pyros. Keep your distance to reduce the effectiveness of all the enemy Pyro's weapons, and move erratically to avoid damage. | ||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | align="center" valign="center" style="padding:0.5em" | {{Table icon|Flare Gun}} + '''reskins''' | ||
+ | | | ||
+ | * The Flare Gun's projectiles should be easy to avoid in open areas, even at close range, as long as your movement is unpredictable. | ||
+ | * The Flare Gun's flares deal guaranteed Critical hits to burning enemies. If you are ignited from a distance, extinguish yourself before re-engaging the Pyro. If ignited up close, move erratically to avoid being finished off by a critical flare. If the flare misses, attack while the Pyro reloads or switches weapons. | ||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | align="center" valign="center" style="padding:0.5em" | {{Table icon|Detonator|}} | ||
+ | | | ||
+ | * The Detonator's flares can be manually triggered by the Pyro to explode, creating a small blast that can ignite multiple targets. Stay away from your teammates to minimize splash damage, and dodge incoming flares to avoid mid-air explosions. | ||
+ | * Compared to the [[Flare Gun]], Detonator flares only deal Mini-Crits to burning players, making it less effective for killing enemies. Despite this, the Detonator is easier to hit players with, as the Pyro only needs to aim the flare directly at you or your teammates to follow up with the blast. | ||
+ | * A Pyro can use the Detonator to perform a [[Jumping#Flare jump|flare jump]] at the cost of their health. Stay aware of all possible routes that the Pyro can take to reach you. | ||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | align="center" valign="center" style="padding:0.5em" | {{Table icon|Reserve Shooter|}} | ||
+ | | | ||
+ | * The Reserve Shooter is capable of landing Mini-Crits on targets airborne through every type of [[knockback]] excluding airblast and bullets. Try to dodge explosives from enemy [[Soldier]]s and [[Demoman|Demomen]] that may launch you into the air, and avoid blast jumping until the Pyro retreats or is killed. | ||
+ | * The Reserve Shooter's reduced clip size gives the Pyro much less staying power. If the Pyro fires all four shots, they will be forced to reload or switch to their primary, giving you time to attack. | ||
+ | ** Keep in mind on what flamethrower they're using, if they are using the Degreaser this strategy can end up being ineffective due to its switch speed, if they're using any other flamethrower this will be more effective. | ||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | align="center" valign="center" style="padding:0.5em" | {{Table icon|Manmelter|}} | ||
+ | | | ||
+ | * The Manmelter has unlimited ammunition and faster projectiles, making it more effective at continuous long-range harassment than the [[Flare Gun]]. Move unpredictably to avoid being ignited. | ||
+ | * The Manmelter's projectiles do not deal critical nor Mini-Crits to burning players, making it less effective at finishing foes off. The Pyro will likely engage you with their Flamethrower instead. | ||
+ | * If an enemy is set on fire, try to finish them off before a Manmelter Pyro can extinguish them and gain a stored Critical hit. If they manage to do so, they might try to finish you off instead. | ||
+ | * Extinguishing from the Manmelter has virtually no cooldown; the Pyro can capitalize on their burning teammates to quickly regain plenty of health! | ||
|- | |- | ||
− | | | + | | align="center" valign="center" style="padding:0.5em" | {{Table icon|Scorch Shot|}} |
| | | | ||
− | * | + | * Due to the Scorch Shot's unique ability to get a second hit, avoid exposing yourself to vulnerable locations, stay in open environments, and move quickly. |
+ | * Explosions from the Scorch Shot ignite multiple targets with one hit. Even if they miss the flare, the projectile can touch the ground to act as a fiery explosive trap. Don’t cluster near your teammates, and stay clear from your same spot if the Pyro fires the Scorch Shot. | ||
+ | * The Scorch Shot's flares can knock enemies back; the knockback increases if you already are on fire. If you get hit by the flare, the resulting explosion can stunlock your movement. Don't idle close to environmental hazards. | ||
+ | * The Scorch Shot excels at keeping enemies on fire but is less effective at finishing them up. Remember where you can find healing or extinguish yourself. | ||
+ | * Pyros often use this weapon to charge up the [[Phlogistinator]] for guaranteed Critical hits. Keep an ear out for the Pyro activating their Crit boost. | ||
+ | * Like the Detonator, the Scorch Shot allows the Pyro to perform a Flare Jump at the cost of their health, albeit slightly weaker. Although a Scorch Shot jump may not be as common, be aware of your surroundings. | ||

− | * | + | * Anything past the first shot will typically deal less damage, especially at medium range. If you survive the first shot, maintain distance and press your advantage. |

The Pyro is a hardy class that excels at close range combat, particularly in confined areas where their Flame Thrower is difficult to avoid. Due to the Flame Thrower’s wide damage spread, the Pyro can focus more on outmaneuvering their opponents than aiming and has leeway when fighting at close range. Additionally, the Pyro has access to the compression blast, a powerful source of utility that allows them to forcibly reposition enemies or reflect projectiles. The overall theme of the Pyro’s available weapons is close range power; because their best long range weapon is just the Flare Gun, they are most vulnerable when distant from enemies or when in open areas.
