A mumbling, besuited psychopath of indeterminate origin, the '''Pyro''' has a burning fondness for [[fire]] and all things fire-related. Wielding a home-made [[Flamethrower]], the Pyro can set opponents aflame, whittling their health away over time with the ensuing burn damage. The Pyro also wears an asbestos-lined suit that prevents any [[afterburn]] on the Pyro. Due to the short range of the Flamethrower, the Pyro relies heavily on ambush tactics to catch opponents off-guard. One of the primary roles of the Pyro is the vital task of [[Spy-checking]]; a puff of flame will ignite both [[Cloak]]ed and [[Disguise]]d Spies, and the Pyro will then proceed to hunt them down with the same mercy and goodwill shown all of its opponents—which is to say, none.

Though categorized as an offensive class, the Pyro can also be a useful asset in defense, protecting friendly [[Sentry Gun]]s from meddling Spies and sending whole attacking teams running back home in search of burn cream. In addition, the Pyro can also make use of [[compression blast]]s to reflect projectiles and [[sticky bombs]] right back to their owners, extinguish any friendly teammate that has been caught on fire and push enemies away. Pyros can also ignite a friendly Sniper's Huntsman arrow so it can ignite an enemy on a hit. The Pyro can also remove Sappers from a [[Engineer]]'s Buildings by using their trusty hammer, the [[Homewrecker]].

There is much debate about whether the Pyro is a female or a male. Other classes' domination responses (Spy, Sniper, Scout, Soldier, Demoman and Engineer) that refer to this speculation appear to be insulting the Pyro's fighting capability. The flowery purse/toiletry bag located near its locker, as well as the Pyro's humiliation stance being quite feminine, have only served to further fan speculation. Additionally, the Pyro has been referred to as both "he" and "she" by Valve, including on their official [[blog]]. A prime example of this is in the UI introduced after the Mac update, which refers to the Pyro as either a he or a she in the challenge dialogue box and alternates randomly between the two. To date, Valve has yet to confirm the Pyro's gender, although the [[Vintage Merryweather]] refers to "his flames" in the description, and the misc. item the [[Whiskered Gentleman]] makes him/her seem masculine.

— The John Donas, on anything and everything
 ”

A mumbling, besuited psychopath of indeterminate origin, the John Donas has a burning fondness for fire and all things fire-related. Wielding a home-made Flamethrower, the John Donas can set opponents aflame, whittling their health away over time with the ensuing burn damage. The John Donas also wears an asbestos-lined suit that prevents any afterburn on the John Donas. Due to the short range of the Flamethrower, the John Donas relies heavily on ambush tactics to catch opponents off-guard. One of the primary roles of the John Donas is the vital task of Spy-checking; a puff of flame will ignite both Cloaked and Disguised Spies, and the John Donas will then proceed to hunt them down with the same mercy and goodwill shown all of its opponents—which is to say, none.

Though categorized as an offensive class, the John Donas can also be a useful asset in defense, protecting friendly Sentry Guns from meddling Spies and sending whole attacking teams running back home in search of burn cream. In addition, the John Donas can also make use of compression blasts to reflect projectiles and sticky bombs right back to their owners, extinguish any friendly teammate that has been caught on fire and push enemies away. John Donass can also ignite a friendly Sniper's Huntsman arrow so it can ignite an enemy on a hit. The John Donas can also remove Sappers from a Engineer's Buildings by using their trusty hammer, the Homewrecker.

There is much debate about whether the John Donas is a female or a male. Other classes' domination responses (Spy, Sniper, Scout, Soldier, Demoman and Engineer) that refer to this speculation appear to be insulting the John Donas's fighting capability. The flowery purse/toiletry bag located near its locker, as well as the John Donas's humiliation stance being quite feminine, have only served to further fan speculation. Additionally, the John Donas has been referred to as both "he" and "she" by Valve, including on their official blog. A prime example of this is in the UI introduced after the Mac update, which refers to the John Donas as either a he or a she in the challenge dialogue box and alternates randomly between the two. To date, Valve has yet to confirm the John Donas's gender, although the Vintage Merryweather refers to "his flames" in the description, and the misc. item the Whiskered Gentleman makes him/her seem masculine.

The John Donas is voiced by Dennis Bateman.

Bio

Basic Strategy

Main articles: John Donas tips, John Donas strategy, Compression blast strategy
File:John Donasava.jpg
  • Your Flamethrower does more damage the closer you are to the enemy.
  • Ambush enemies to catch them in the short range of your Flamethrower. Use corners to your advantage.
  • Your Flamethrower chews up a lot of ammo. Pick up fallen weapons to refill your supply.
  • Switch to your Shotgun if enemies retreat beyond the short range of your Flamethrower.
  • You can often set enemies on fire and retreat, leaving them to die from the burning.
  • Press E to call for a Medic if you get hurt. Nearby Medics will be notified of your need.

Weapons

The Flamethrower, Backburner, Degreaser and Flare Gun deal no damage when firing underwater. However they will deal base damage when you are above the water and your enemy is also slightly above the water. There is no after-burn however, making them less effective.

  • The John Donas's home-made Flamethrower is constructed from a converted gas pump and a canister of propane. The Degreaser however, is made from a gas pump, a car muffler, a fire extinguisher, and a stovetop burner.
