<p>Classy: </p> <hr /> <div>Spychecking refers to a number of methods to find enemy spies.<br /> <br /> ==Universal methods==<br /> <br /> -Spies cannot clip through the enemy team. They will bump into them and around them.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Class-specific spychecking methods==<br /> ===Scout===<br /> <br /> The [[Scout]] can use his Mad Milk to highlight cloaked Spies. The Scout may decide to throw his Mad Milk when his team calls the position of the [[Spy]], or when he bumps against the Spy to make him temporarily visible. The Mad Milk &quot;dripping&quot; effect will be visible to all teammates regardless of the Spy's cloak status, helping them to locate and kill the Spy. The scout can also use the Boston Basher to hit suspected spies; if they bleed, they are a spy. The scout can also utilize a form of [[Glossary|tracking]] to detect a spy during its cloak.<br /> <br /> ===Soldier===<br /> ===Pyro===<br /> <br /> The [[Pyro]] is usually the single most powerful enemy a spy can face. A good Pyro will be capable of using his flames to consistently spycheck any suspicious target and therefore expose an enemy spy that may get too close. The fact that the Pyro's flames render a Spy's cloak useless and can quickly expose his position a good spy must stay away from a Pyro at all given times. In Highlander, the Spy's main targets are usually the Medic, Demoman, Heavy and Engineer given their strategic significance to the other team. Since a 9v9 Pyro usually sticks with either the combo (which often contains the three former targets) and helps protect the Engineer's Nest, this makes the Pyro a natural deterrent against a capable Pyro. Because of the Pyro's ease and effectiveness on spychecking duties he is often deemed responsible to protect his team from the enemy spy. However, with or without a Pyro, it is important to recognize that Spychecking is a team effort as a Pyro cannot be everywhere at once to handle the enemy Spy in all possible scenarios.<br /> ===Demoman===<br /> <br /> ===Heavy===<br /> <br /> The [[Heavy]] can use his minigun's tracking ability to detect an enemy spy through his cloak.<br /> <br /> ===Engineer===<br /> The [[Engineer]] can place buildings in doorways or other chokes that force spies to jump over and reveal that they cannot walk through the buildings. The Southern Hospitality causes bleed on spies and exposes them for a period of time long enough to kill them. The Pomson 6000 makes a drain sound when it hits a spy and drains his cloak.<br /> <br /> ===Medic===<br /> ===Sniper===<br /> <br /> The [[Sniper]] can use his Jarate to cover enemy spies in dripping particles. The Spy will also turn a shade of yellow. The Sniper can also use the Tribalman's Shiv to make the enemy Spy bleed.<br /> <br /> ===Spy===<br /> <br /> The Spy can use his knife to spycheck his teammates. If the knife raises in the position to do a backstab, than the &quot;teammate&quot; is an enemy Spy.</div>

<p>Classy: Feel free to change. Trying to help with the Pyro's side of things.</p> <hr /> <div>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.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ==6v6==<br /> ''Main Article: [[Pyro (6v6)]]''<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> ==Highlander==<br /> ''Main Article: [[Pyro (Highlander)]]''<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> == Primary == <br /> <br /> {{Weapon<br /> | weapon_name = Flame Thrower<br /> | image = flamethrower.png<br /> | 6s_legal = Yes<br /> | hl_legal = Yes<br /> | etf2l_6s_legal = Yes<br /> | etf2l_hl_legal = Yes<br /> | description = <br /> <br /> 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 (trough 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. <br /> }}<br /> <br /> <br /> {{Weapon<br /> | weapon_name = Backburner<br /> | image = Backburner.png<br /> | 6s_legal = Yes<br /> | hl_legal = Yes<br /> | etf2l_6s_legal = No<br /> | etf2l_hl_legal = Yes<br /> | description =<br /> <br /> 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.
