The Phlogistinator 1 - 100 All fire damage increases 'Mmmph', activate to refill your health and crit for several seconds No airblast No random critical hits Being a revolutionary appliance capable of awakening the fire element phlogiston that exists in all combustible creatures, which is to say, all of them.

“

Surging electrolysed ultra-waves of pure phlogiston, this devastating incinerator will get them all hot under the collar! Actually, it will burn them alive. Horribly. — Phlogistinator publicity blurb

”

The Phlogistinator is a primary weapon for the Pyro.

With the Phlogistinator equipped, all fire damage done by the Pyro will increase a "Mmmph" bar. Once filled, it can be activated with the secondary fire command which performs a taunt that will refill health and enable a short crit boost. The weapon cannot gain random crits or use compression blasts.
