Pyro is a kit added in the August 27, 2021 update. Players could reach Level 50 in the Season 1 Battle Pass in order to unlock him.
Abilities[]
Flamethrower[]
- Main article: Flamethrower
Pyro can purchase a flamethrower from the Item Shop for 3 Emeralds that allows him to burn enemies, damaging them and making the enemies brittle. Enemies cannot be hit through blocks. Brittle enemies take an extra 30 damage with 20% armor penetration whenever damaged, indicated by a small orange fire above their heads. If damaged or unharmed for 15 seconds, the effect will disappear.
The flamethrower can be upgraded to make it more powerful and efficient. It has three upgrade paths up to level 4. However, only one upgrade path can be upgraded to level 4, which grants unique effects: pushing enemies, armor penetration, or burning flammable blocks.
Embers[]
- Main article: Ember (item)
Brittle enemies will drop 1 Ember upon death, which can be used to upgrade the flamethrower. They will not be lost upon death. Depending on what tier 4 upgrade the player gets, it takes 22, 24, 26 Embers
to upgrade the entire flamethrower.
Strategy[]
Because Pyro's flamethrower costs emeralds, you should go to the center and collect the 3 Emeralds as soon as possible. Having the Flamethrower early game is extremely beneficial as it deals rapid fire damage and the brittle damage which can allow you to defeat an unsuspecting enemy before they can react and run away.
Once you get the flamethrower, it is very important to start racking up Embersto upgrade your flamethrower. A good method is to find other people who are already fighting, then stand back and fire your flamethrower, which makes them both brittle and can yield embers, since if another player kills someone you made brittle you will still get the embers.
You should focus on a specific path to max out, instead of getting all three upgrades at once. Embers are kept on death, so don't be afraid of jumping into a situation you might not get out alive, as long as you can make as many enemies brittle and kill them to get the embers. Your choice of the max upgrade should depend on how you want to play the game. When going head to head against players, Power is a good choice, since you can quickly spray a few ticks of fire and then switch to a sword to activate the large damage caused by the brittle. The fire knockback can also allow you to stall an enemy which enables you to use the flamethrower for longer before the enemy enters sword range. If you fight with your team, then the Heat upgrade is a good choice, since maxing it will allow you to deal substantial damage with just the fire. The armor penetration also helps further the damage even more, which lets you kill several enemies at once. And if you want to attack and break beds, then the Range upgrade can be beneficial, as a longer range can attack enemies without putting yourself in too much danger, especially if the enemy base contains tesla coils or other traps that deal damage if you get close enough. The flamethrower burning flammable blocks also can destroy bed defenses made of wood planks or wool.
