Basic Information
Type:	Offensive
Health:	100 / 150
Armor:	150
Armor type:	Medium
Speed:	Medium

The Pyro is a playable class in Team Fortress Classic. He possesses fairly high health and medium armor. He moves at a fast speed, and his weapons are designed to incite confusion and deal damage over time.

Basic Strategy

• Your Incendiary Cannon is your most useful weapon. Try to hit enemies directly to deal more damage.

• Your Flamethrower is not nearly as effective as your other weapons. Use it only as a last resort or as humiliation.

• By hitting your enemies with your different flame weapons, you can multiply the afterburn damage. A common strategy is to bombard the enemy team from long range with the Incendiary Cannon, and to then burn them again with the Flamethrower and Napalm Grenades.

• The Flamethrower's flame particles do not inflict much damage; burn the enemy with other flame weapons after you have set them ablaze in order to inflict maximum damage.

• Try to play both offensively and defensively depending upon the situation.

• Napalm Grenades are a great area denial tool. They are also great at disrupting enemies vision and aim.

• Use all of your fire-based weapons to cause confusion among members of the other team.

• Use your Single-Barrel Shotgun at range or if you have already ignited the enemy with your flame weaponry.
