The Pyro is a class who wields a Flamethrower as its main weapon. Along with the ability to inflict burn damage and a relatively high damage output, the Pyro also has the airblast mechanic, which can neutralize an enemy's uber with ease, reflect projectiles like rockets and arrows, and extinguish burning team mates.
6v6
- Main article: Pyro (6v6)
In 6v6, the Pyro is considered an offclass (unless you are good like Prophet). Most commonly run when the defending team has über disadvantage while defending last, the Pyro's job is to neutralize the enemy team's über and projectile spam from the Soldier and Demo through the use of the airblast mechanic. This situational use of the class allows the defending team to counter the enemy team when in disadvantage, against uber it allows the team to gain precious time, often enough for the team to get uber in time to defend last even counter-push if the pyro manages to hold the whole uber back. It has been tried and experiemented through the years as a full time competitive class and while it is encouraged in some competitive gamemodes it's the best in 6's because the competetive pyro "Prophet" (eXtv's finest) has raised it into the meta with its high damage output and strong push power. http://sizzlingstats.com/stats/289436
Highlander
- Main article: Pyro (Highlander)
In Highlander, the Pyro is considered a support class. The Pyro's main job in Highlander is to protect the Medic. It also has the jobs of displacing and neutralizing enemy ubers, spychecking to neutralize the enemy Spy, protecting its team's sentry gun by deflecting projectiles, and providing flank support when required. The pyro most commonly positions himself around the combo, so as to allow them to deal a lot of damage to the enemy team's damage dealing classes like heavy or demoman, without having to focus on classes like spies or scouts. This allows for the rest off your team to co-ordinate a push. Alternatively, if his team is aware enough off the enemy spy, then the pyro could take the role of a roaming pyro. This involves the pyro flanking the enemy team, and trying to deal a lot of damage, possibly to get a pick on the medic, which could then allow your team to push in.
