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.

Pyro is a class who wields a Flamethrower as their [[pyro#Primary|primary weapon]]. Along with the ability to inflict burn damage and a moderate but consistent damage output, Pyro also has the [[airblast]] mechanic, which can prevent the enemy from gaining ground even with an Ubercharge, reflect projectiles like rockets and grenades, and extinguish burning teammates.

In the standard 6v6 format, Pyro is an [[offclass]] on most maps, thanks to their average movement speed and limited range. Most commonly run on [[5CP]] maps when their team has an Uber disadvantage while defending the last point, Pyro's job is to neutralize the enemy team's Ubercharge and protect their team from projectiles from the enemy Soldier and Demoman. This buys time for Pyro's team to organize a counterattack, potentially saving the game. While Pyro is run full-time in other [[Competitive_Formats#Other|competitive formats]], their average speed, low range, and mediocre damage prevents them from excelling in the fast-paced 6v6 leagues.
+
In 6v6, the Pyro is considered an [[offclass]]. 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 through the use of the airblast mechanic along with compression blasting away spam from the Soldier and Demo.

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.

In Highlander, Pyro is their team's bodyguard. Their main job is to protect their team's combo, especially the [[Medic]]. They also are responsible for delaying or neutralizing enemy Ubercharges, [[spychecking]] to prevent the enemy [[Spy]] from landing a pick, protecting their team's Sentry Gun by deflecting projectiles, and providing flank support when required. Pyro most commonly positions themself near the combo, and is their defense against pick classes, allowing the combo to deal damage to enemies without being harassed by the enemy Spy, Scout, or Soldier. If they are not needed to shut down pick classes, Pyro may attempt to flank and ambush the enemy team and attempt a pick on the enemy combo, especially the Medic.

The '''Flamethrower''' provides better upfront damage than the Degreaser as well as possessing a relatively cheap airblast in comparison to the Backburner and, although by no means a bad weapon, lacks either the ambushing potential from the Backburner as well as the weapon switching bonus of the Degreaser, which can often be invaluable. Since either of the allowed alternatives have an offensive focus (through different means) that means the stock Flamethrower will generally be used with a more passive play-style in mind, and often without tangible upsides in relation to the alternatives.

|description = The '''Flamethrower''' provides slightly better damage than the Degreaser as well as a relatively cheap airblast. It lacks the potential to ambush or switch weapons quickly, and as such promotes a more defensive playstyle. Pyro will often use the stock Flamethrower to guard their team, though the Degreaser can do the same - as long as the enemy Medic is alive, afterburn is easily negated. This weapon is most effective when the enemy Medic is dead or far away, and health packs are scarce, as afterburn damage will be maximized against retreating pick classes.

|description = The '''Backburner''' is a weapon made that rewards flanking and ambushing. When Pyro attacks an enemy from behind, the Backburner will deal critical hits, killing them in seconds. As a downside, airblasts become far more expensive, reducing Pyro's ability to protect their team's Medic or Engineer. This often requires Pyro's team to make a significant change to their playstyle, and as such, is rarely used in Highlander. In 6v6, Pyro's primary responsibility is to push the enemy team away from their team's final point, and the Backburner prevents them from doing so.

The '''Backburner''' is a weapon made with ambushing and flanking in mind and is rarely used in 6's. Since the Pyro generally has responsibilities to either the Medic or the Engineer in Highlander, it requires a significant change to the team's overall strategy to be used effectively and is therefore rarely used in that format as well. The Backburner's unique ability allows it to critically hit an enemy from behind (approximately 180 degrees) allowing the Pyro to quickly kill an unaware opponent. This comes at the price of diminished support capabilities since the Pyro will only be able to use four airblasts with full ammunition and this greatly hinders the most powerful support tools in the Pyro's arsenal.

|description = The '''Degreaser''' is the most popular flamethrower in all competitive formats. The weapon allows  Pyro to switch weapons much faster, which makes using weapon combos (such as the Flare Gun or the Axtinguisher) far easier and allows them to alternate between attacking the enemy team and airblasting projectiles. As a downside, Pyro's afterburn deals less damage, which rarely comes into play; Pyro's primary responsibility is to protect their team, not search for kills.

The '''Degreaser''' is the most widely used flame thrower in competitive. The weapon provides the Pyro with faster weapon switching which makes using weapon combos (such as the Flare Gun or the Axtinguisher ) far easier and allows the Pyro to handle combat situations that would otherwise be quite difficult to handle. The Degreaser's downsides come from the weapon's reduced damage upfront and weakened afterburn in relation to the stock flamethrower. This rarely affects the Pyro, still, given that the class' objectives in most competitive scenarios are to either stall the enemy or support his own team rather than actively getting kills.

|description = The '''Phlogistinator''' places Pyro into a completely different role by removing their ability to airblast while granting critical hits after they deal enough fire damage. By dealing fire damage, Pyro will charge "Mmmph" at a rate of 1% per 3 fire damage dealt. Once the Mmmph meter is full, Pyro can activate it by taunting, making them invulnerable until the taunt ends. They will also gain crits for 10 seconds after the taunt ends. If Pyro becomes airborne while taunting, the taunt will be cancelled, but not the invulnerability. Guaranteed critical hits on Pyro will shred an unprepared team, but a enemy team expecting them can neutralize them with ease: Demoman can sticky-trap the area around Pyro, Sniper can headshot them from a distance, and Spy can backstab them as soon as the invulnerability ends. Without their ability to airblast, Pyro is left vulnerable to Soldier as well. Thus, Pyro must activate their Mmmph in a safe area, then ambush the enemies to land as many kills as possible. The Phlogistonator may be used in combination with Medic's stock Ubercharge to force enemies to retreat, allowing the rest of the team to move in.

|description = The '''Dragon's Fury''' acts as a single-shot flamethrower, firing a fireball that travels somewhat further than other flamethrowers' fire, dealing about as much damage as a Flare Gun and igniting enemies for 3 seconds (1 second against enemy Pyros). It takes 0.8 seconds to reload - this time is shortened to 0.53 seconds if Pyro hits an enemy with the fireball. If the fireball hits a burning enemy dead-on, it will deal 3x damage, making the weapon a sort of rapid-fire Flare Gun. Airblasting with the weapon takes 1.6 seconds to reload, making Pyro unable to effectively reflect the enemy Soldier's rocket spam. In direct confrontations with a single opponent, however, it allows Pyro to match the damage output of generalist classes.

While it deals only 23 damage on a direct hit, and only mini-crits against burning players, it can be detonated mid-air to light groups of enemies on fire, or to ignite hard-to-hit targets like Scout. Upon hitting a surface, the flare creates an explosion that only harms the Pyro who fired it. If the flare is detonated as soon as it is fired, the explosion will launch Pyro a short distance, at the cost of a significant amount of health. This gives Pyro the ability to ambush enemies from unexpected locations. Additionally, the Detonator explosion destroys Demoman's stickybombs, allowing Pyro to dismantle sticky-traps without putting themself in danger.

The Detonator is mostly useful to harass enemies and also, in situations where the Pyro may benefit from added mobility by using the Detonator's explosion knockback.

It is especially useful against Sniper, who flinches repeatedly while on fire, making him unable to hit shots consistently.

The Axtinguisher is an exception to the "ineffective melee" rule, as it greatly out-damages Pyro's other weapons against burning players. When paired with the Detonator, Pyro can land key picks near-instantly by approaching from an unexpected location (often above), igniting a key target, and Axtinguishing them, killing them. Note that this strategy is similar to that of Soldier's Market Gardener - if Pyro is detected by enemies, they will be shut down before they can approach.

|description = The '''Homewrecker''' will do double damage against enemy buildings compared to the stock Fire Axe, destroying most in 1-2 hits, but its main use is to remove Spy's sappers in one hit. As a downside, it deals 25% less damage to players. This weapon is one of Pyro's most common melee weapons, as it allows them to protect Engineer's buildings while he is away or dead. It sees little to no use against enemy Engineer buildings.

|description = When deployed, the '''Powerjack''' increases Pyro's movement speed by 15%, at the cost of a 20% damage vulnerability. Killing an enemy with this weapon heals Pyro 25 health. The Powerjack is Pyro's melee weapon of choice, along with the Homewrecker. It is used similar to Soldier's Escape Plan when fleeing, but also allows Pyro to roam the map faster when out of combat.

|description = The '''Back Scratcher''' does 25% more damage than the stock Fire Axe, increases the health gained from health packs by 50%, and reduces healing from Medics and Dispensers by 75%. This weapon sees little use in competitive, as Pyro is weak in mid-ranged combat, making it a bad idea to leave their team. Most often, Pyro will guard their team from enemy pick classes, and will be healed by their Medic more often than by health packs.

|description = The '''Third Degree''' is a straight upgrade to the stock Fire Axe. It functions like stock, but when striking an enemy, all players connected to the enemy via Medi-Gun beam will take damage as well. While objectively better than the Fire Axe in all situations, Pyro is almost never able to get within melee range of the enemy combo without being killed, making this weapon a rare sight in the competitive scene.

It does 20% less damage to players, but deals critical hits to wet players (covered in water, [[Jarate]], or [[Mad Milk]]); a crit will deal 156 damage. Water is rare on most competitive maps, making this weapon highly situational.
