| The Pyro thrusts their weapon in the air while cackling triumphantly or yelling; there are three different audio cues (second, third). If taunting with the Phlogistinator at full 'Mmmph', the player gains invulnerability and knockback resistance for the duration of the taunt, after which they are granted full critical hits for ten seconds. |

The Pyro blows a stream of bubbles with a bubble wand as a rainbow with a Balloonicorn at the top forms above them. Then, the Pyro leans over and releases a circular wave of fire around them, damaging any opposite team members caught in the blast. If a player is viewing this taunt while not in Pyroland, the rainbow and the Balloonicorn are invisible and the stream of bubbles is replaced with an arc of fire, though the bubble wand remains visible. |
