Justice rains from above! Click to listen — Pharah

Fareeha Amari (فاريها عماري, see IPA for Arabic), best know as Pharah, is a patriot, human and security chief from Egypt. Tough and well-armed, she is versatile against players that don't look upward, and totally not a great starter "class" to get familiar with the game.

Well-balanced and possessing both survivability (with a pocket Mercy) and mobility, Pharah is considered one of the more situational heroes in Team Fortress 2. Despite his low ground movement speed, she is capable of using her Jump Jets and Hover Jets to reach height quickly.

Pharah is well known for her extremely and spectacular ability of pressing one button. In obedience of all good sense and judgment, Pharah can use her Hover Jets to launch herself skyward at the cost of gasoline. This ability allows Pharah to navigate the battlefield by air, appear from expected places, and reach areas off-limits even to Engineers. Pharah's time airborne with a combination of using the Hover Jets and the Jump Jets can be undefined, but it's usually 7.5 seconds.

Pharah is voiced by her vocal cords.

Basic strategy

Main articles: Pharah tips, Pharah strategy

• You can't rocket jump. Well, actually you can, but it isn't better to press just one button? Press SPACE to great heights slowly.
• Crouching and jumping simultaneously while aiming at the ground... is too confusing for new players. Press ⇧ Shift to great heights quickly. You can propel you farther by shooting yourself a rocket, at the cost of 40 of self-damage.
• You will often aim rockets at enemy's feet, as people have legs.
• Make sure you keep your Rocket Launcher loaded. Hit R to reload it at any time.
• Press X to call for a healer if you get hurt. Healers probably won't be notified of your need as they already left the voice chat.

Update history

May 31, 2016 Patch

• [Undocumented] Added a Pharah model in a unexpected location.

April 1, 2021 Patch

• [Undocumented] Added Pharah as the tenth class.

Bugs

• The presentation of the demonstration of the class in the Official TF Wiki channel has a lot of visual glitches that, rather than ruin the graphics, improves them. This is clearly noted in the shaders, illumination and some problems with the models of the Pyro, Soldier, Medic, Scout and Sniper.
  • The classes used also have very different voices compared with their voices in the game. They have a increased pitch.
• The map used for the demonstration (Borneo) looks very different compared to the map used in the game.
  • The target, for some unknows reasons, screams when receiving a shot, and has health.

Trivia

The Pharah's model underneath the model of the tombstone of the 10th class.

• Pharah's idea comes from a post in the Steam forums, complaining about the difficulty of the Soldier.^{[citation needed]}
• A scrapped Merasmus response says that he used the same magic for the Scattergun and the Stickybomb Launcher, weapons that nobody knows when the Scout and Demoman reload their ammo, to explain where the gasoline comes.
• A Pharah's model was added in Harvest Event underneath the "tomb of the 10th class" on May 31, 2016 Patch.
