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|Pyro (6v6)}}

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 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_Formats#Other|competitive gamemodes]] it doesn't work in 6v6 because of the lack of mobility and low damage output of this class.

==Highlander==
{{main|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.

Pyro (Highlander)

{{stub}}
The Pyro is the most defensive class in Highlander. The class's skillset allows them to diffuse large amounts of enemy aggression very quickly and easily, and as such they are generally entrusted with protecting the Combo or engineer nest along with the occasional spy-checking and deflecting spam through their Airblast. While the class' unique disruptive abilities are very powerful, the Pyro lacks both the mobility and range to be an effective combat class, and as such it is considered a '''Support''' class in Highlander.
==Gameplay==
The Pyro's unique abilities in the airblast allow it to float between sticking with his team's combo (usually composed of the Heavy, Medic, and Demoman) and supporting the flanking classes (usually composed of the Scout and Soldier, and occasionally the Engineer). Its abilities also allow it to push away Ubers and kill enemy spies fairly easily, making it an ideal partner for the Combo or Engineer. The Pyro excels at close range and can take out most classes in close proximity within few seconds. However, his lack of additional movement speed makes it difficult to hunt down targets safely. Some players opt a more offensive style of pyro, and will flank unsuspecting classes for quick, easy picks. This playstyle is known as the roaming pyro.

The Pyro's Airblast is its most interesting mechanic and forcibly repositions the enemy, extinguishes burning teammates, and re/deflects enemy projectiles (including, but not limited to, a Soldier's Rockets, Demomen's grenades and stickies, enemy Jarate and Mad Milk, and Crusader's Crossbow and Huntsman arrows). His afterburn, while a very weak mechanic, can finish off very weak enemies and trigger constant voice commands, making ambushing impossible for the duration of the burning.
