Stage 1 is the first of the 10 Stages and marks the beginning of the future Pyro main’s adventure in Team Fortress 2! The Pyro player has tried out a couple of other classes and heard that Pyro is a good class for new players, so they switch to Pyro and they think they’re ready to dominate in TF2! Unfortunately, Stage 1 Pyro players are usually just cannon fodder, and they haven’t figured out how to use their flamethrower properly. They don't have much success playing Pyro as they're new to the class, but they're still enjoying using the Pyro's Flamethrower and airblasting enemies around! After a few hours of playing on different maps in TF2, the amateur Pyro player is ready to move on to Stage 2!
Stage 2 represents the Pyro player’s struggle to actually reach the enemies before getting picked off. They try to achieve this by playing ultra-aggressive, not caring about their life or health in any way, and being blissfully unaware of enemies and allies around them! The future Pyro main either doesn’t know what airblast does yet, or used it by accident and thought it was a glitch! Whatever the case, the Pyro is still desperately trying to get in range of the enemies, but it seems like the entire enemy team is out to get them. They run in and go down to a sentry, a sniper, a heavy, a scout, a spy, a soldier, a demoman, and an engineer! However, the Pyro player eventually manages to reach the enemies and light them on fire, and they might even take a few of them out! This small victory inspires them to keep playing TF2, since they’re still enjoying their Pyro experience and slowly improving each time they respawn!
At some point, the Stage 3 Pyro will start experimenting with a range of different weapons and loadouts. They don’t really see the point of the Degreaser, rarely using the airblast and never pulling off combos, at least not deliberately. They love the Backburner and think it’s a straight upgrade to the stock Flamethrower since they don’t use airblasts anyway. They saw an enemy Pyro decimate their team with the Phlogistinator yesterday and saw other players complaining about how broken it is. They tried it out and think its an upgrade, but they almost never live long enough to build up the crit meter or use the crits effectively. If they actually manage to use their crits, it tends to go horribly wrong!
They tried out a couple of the shotguns but gravitated towards the Scorch Shot instead since it’s fun, easy to use, and makes them feel a lot more useful. They also tried out the Thermal Thruster but can’t quite get it to ‘work properly’, and they tend to jetpack way too aggressively into entire groups of enemies. In the end, the beginner Pyro player usually ends up using the Flamethrower and the Scorch Shot since they’re easy and fun to use. The Pyro player has also picked up a few mismatched Pyro cosmetics and looks hilarious, but they haven’t got a ‘favourite loadout’ just yet!

I started playing pyro because the idea of playing a class (almost) everyone hates for being "unskilled" and being a general nuisance called out to me. While I'm nowhere near good or even average, but setting the enemy player on fire and making spies suffer make me love it.

[@dwacheopus]

Use scorch shot as well, man! You won't regret that)

[@Karmy.]

Yeah I just thought it be a fun class to main when I started playing a few days ago, especially for a trackball mouse user lol I love providing assist for some of the stronger classes/players who know what they're doing, not going for kills if I know I can't get one but at the very least weakening the enemy for other teammates to finish the job. I love running in, blasting a couple opponents in the face with fire and running back into cover if there are teammates nearby, basically sort of a scout pyro I guess Also I have fun as a 2fort sewer rat defense Pyro, helping defend the sewer entrance to the base with a couple other people and trying to take out as many with the Neon Annihlator (or again, being there to help assist by weakening any intruder and doing spy checking) as I can to really be annoying

[@cheekythemonkey4739]

[@DatsKipOmANiHaVeAch4nn3l]

My journey with pyro started out with the dragon's fury, as back then I generally disliked the class because I thought it didn't require aim. Over time though I started to give the other flamethrowers a chance and after seeing all the insane things you can do with airblast, I truly fell in love with the mechanic and the class itself on top of the incredible mobility of the detonator, the satisfaction of setting enemies ablaze and instantly meatshotting them with the panic attack, and the surprisingly great pair that the manmelter makes with the dragon's fury imo

[@concorde9065]

I'm an airblast junky, me personally I run the det with df but manmelter is also pretty good. I don't tend to pick up new stuff very quick compared to others doing the same so it's good to see at least I'm not alone in learning with the df

[@DatsKipOmANiHaVeAch4nn3l]

Sometimes I use the det with the dragon's fury but I really like having a dual-focus in support and offense even if closing the gap is way harder without the det, although i still love using it along with the degreaser for axtinguisher gardens

[@concorde9065]

Backburner is pretty awesome in payload. You can air blast as much as you want since the cart has infinite ammo and it’s pretty easy to find mercs to kill. Pair it with the detonator and powerjack and you have one awesome flanking loadout

I’ve got over 1,700 hours in the game, and have been playing for 7 years. About 700 of those hours are as pyro. He’s my main, and watching this was absolutely spot on. Honestly felt really nostalgic watching this seeing how my time in the game progressed and how well you nailed each stage. Made me feel like I had just started the game for the first time. Amazing work!! Can’t wait to see your next videos

[@losingluke]

as a pyro main, you usually, subconsiouly pick up the firing speed and time of the direct hit, and its easy to reflect if they dont swap to shotgun/have teammates around; and a reflected crit is *the* best feeling in tf2

[@FoulUnderworldCreature]

This was surprisingly accurate! I have 150 hours on Pyro and I'm still so bad. 😂 I learned Degreaser combos straight away with Pyro so I never really developed game sense and instead spent a long time playing a purely defensive playstyle where I would protect engies, medics, and snipers with my combo skills. Recently I switched back to using stock flamethrower and threw in a Panic Attack too and it's been working well for me.

[@thegreyghost5846]

I have over 70, hours, I've mainly been honing my reflect skills (although I'm still quite bad) because I love helping engies. The fact that I have a strange homewrecker that counts sappers destroyed doesn't help lmao

[@kingmaro69420]

I got a bit over 85, and more than half is me helping protect my engi's, mostly using the panic attack and stock. It's amazing how many people go at a pyro and try to run after seeing they aren't just W-M1, especially scouts, tryna work on the puff and sting, while still tryna get a degreaser. Overall, cheers in ya'll firey journey.

[@mostlysure1077]

There's another part to the Phlogistinator stage. They might learn how to Phlog taunt cancel, and completely dominate with extremely long crits and two extra seconds of knockback invulnerability and regular invulnerability. It's really hard to do, but some Phlog pyro's can turn into fricken doomguy, and it's terrifying.

[@space-eye7760]

When I was still a beginner at the game, and was starting to get the hang over pyro, I used to think that since the airblast consumed a somewhat bulky chunk off of your ammo, as opposed to the primary flames attack, it was supposed to mean that it was by itself a special attack that did more damage as opposed to the flames, but in reality it just pushes them back😂(except if you're deflecting rockets and grenades at your enemy, obviously)

​@slivervibes silvervider you havent heard of the flare gun users it seems

[@hermezg]

Love your videos

[@greensharktwod]

11:30 this clip where the soldier follows the pyro down with intent to kill but is willing to play rock paper scissors with him is just wholesome

[@QuixlyTheMan]

Seems so accurate!The only part I think was inaccurate was how they stop W+M1+M2 at stage 7 as I learnt combo pyro(Shotgun secondary,not flare or detonator) on stage 3.

[@joeyjonquantaviusjr9927]

LESSGOO, this’ll be fun

[@SullivanBurke777]

Informative! And also funny. I want to master every class eventually, but Pyro as a character is such a freakin' weirdo, and thus my favorite.

[@jubbl]

This is probably the most accurate stages of a main i've ever seen

[@anatoooli]

yoooooo im the engie with the crit hiding around the corner!! also subscribed!

[@sebmarine243]

I didn't know you could detonate the shots tbh thx

[@phighter]

Good and informative video

[@gaymare6236]

Only one more stage left, can't wait

[@eggflavoredsoda]

this is actually a lot better then wamo’s video on the 10 stages of pyro. I recently hit 300hrs on pyro and this is pretty accurate.

[@JaxontheOkay]

over the few months i've been maining pyro, i come back to this video here and there to see my progress. it's legitimately a good measurement to make me not lose motivation and know i'm improving.

[@2pizza847]

Improving on being the cancer of tf2?

[@JaxontheOkay]

@@2pizza847 think there's worse things in tf2 at the moment than people who play pyro

[@2pizza847]

@@JaxontheOkay in rare occasions when a casual server is bot free there's always rotten apples in for of pyros, who ruin all the fun. Good snipers and scouts can ruin fun too, but at least it takes skill, effort and time to get good at sniper and scout

[@nicholayrichardson9668]

I always come back to pyro when I feel like there's just too many enemies around. A little backburner ambush and that pub push is over and I can finally breathe again.

[@dreamingclouddreams2981]

There was this one time when I was playing pyro, I got ubered, surfed some knockback (this was on badwater), landed right next to the payload cart and killed everybody.

[@lavalord96]

I remember my phlog stage, I started using the flaregun and degreaser afterwords, but the axetinguisher can go BURN IN HIT REGISTRATION HELL. (I still use phlog lmao)

[@micche2972]

It’s so accurate it’s scary

[@angelogaray8019]

I was always drawn to Pyro due to my general inability to aim in most shooters, but honestly, what really hooked me was when I watched LazyPurple’s “How it FEELS to play pyro” and discovered airblast. Finding out that there was a class that could REFLECT ROCKETS was when I truly knew who I would main when I finally got the game.

[@beanzo1675]

I gravitated towards 4 classes when I first played. Demo, Engi, Pyro, and Medic. However I always felt like I wasn't doing very good as Pyro. And after buying all the weapons (on marketplace, not the TF2 store luckily) I realized how versatile he was. But sadly stuck to Phlog, I did however LOVE the flare gun. Actually got decently good with it. But never resisted braindead MMMPH. But then I stumbled onto pybro. I grabbed the wrecker and started protecting engis. Spy checking and removing sappers. Then realized how powerless I was against soldier. So I went back to stock and started practicing airblast. Now I'm practicing that along with degreaser combos. While every class has nuances and important skills. Pyro has such a wide variety of playstyles and niches. I wanna prove he isn't just a w + m1 easy kill.

[@jikas3659]

the editting ia gr8

[@liquiddrew55]

Ah yes the stage ten. The "I got matched against a new spy and made them quit the game"

[@bzsher]

2 year burnout went crazy ngl but we gon get back on the grind

[@officialSLF2]

Just started playing TF2 and quickly grabbed onto Pyro, so now I'm in the airblaster stage! :D

[@ElectrixterREAL]

The chasing down the spys to the ends of the earth is very relatable

[@psf_dioufmaulana3040]

I did actually got into the habit of air blasting off the edge that was fun but the someone did the most sickest safe i ever seen

[@MBP1918]

Incredible

[@gobihoukou1]

Man, I need to install this game again.
