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.

Axtinguisher

The Axtinguisher is a more aggressive weapon for the Pyro. It allows you to Crit a burning enemy which will deal 195damage. If the Pyro were to somehow get close to the enemy team's Medic, you could almost consider their Medic will die. It could also be used defensively to kill a class while their team is pushing. Try your best to keep the Axtinguisher Pyro away from your team.

Homewrecker

The Homewrecker will do +100% to enemy buildings destroying most in 1 or 2 hits. If you hit a sapped friendly building it will remove the Spy's sapper. If the other team's Spy is causing your Engineer trouble and he's making it hard for him set up a defense, you could try to help him out with this weapon. This weapon frustrates Spies because when they think they finally got rid of the Engineer by killing him and sapping his buildings, a Pyro will show up and destroy all the sappers. You shouldn't use this weapon to melee enemies as it deals 20% damage less than the default axe.

Powerjack

The Powerjack when active will allow you to run 15% faster, but all damage taken will do 20% more. If you kill an enemy with this melee you gain +75 health. This weapon isn't great to use other than for the beginning of the match. It will allow you to get to mid a bit quicker which could help. Other than that it's ineffective since you be hurt more by all the damage.

Back Scratcher

The Back Scratcher does 25% more damage that the default axe. It also allows the Pyro to gain 50% more health from any health packs, but he will gain 75% less health from Medics. This weapon is more useful if you plan on flanking the opponent and stealing all their health packs or if you want to help the Medic build ÜberCharge, since it will take a longer time to fully heal the Pyro. It will most likely hurt your team since you'll always have to look for health packs instead of just sticking to your Medic.

Sharpened Volcano Fragment

The Sharpened Volcano Fragment deals 20% less damage than the default weapon, but it will ignite the enemy on hit. This will weapon is considered useless since you will always have a Primary weapon to deal fire damage to the enemy.

Third Degree

The Third Degree deals the same damage as the default weapon, but it will do damage to all players connected by the Medigun's beam. Only on rare occasions will you be able to get close to the combo and be able to melee them. You will most likely get 1Hit (65Damage) before dying by the rest of the enemy team, which makes this weapon not sure a great choice competitively.

Neon Annihilator

The Neon Annihilator acts similarly to the Homewrecker it removes sappers on friendly buildings, however it will take more hits to remove one. It will deal Crits to wet players, this includes underwater, being covered in Jarate, and being covered in Mad Milk. It does 20% less damage to players, so a Crit on a player will deal 156damage.
