The constant change in your movement speed really throws off their aim.

What weapon is most like the dragon's fury is the direct hit: -both reward you with lots of damage but punish you for missing -both are fast -both demand a great amount of skill -dh has more heavy hitting slow firing projectile while df has weak then strong hitting rapid fire projectile. Like a mini pekka and regular pekka. Both hit hard but one is faster while the other hits harder

[@themaninblack08]

DF is way too situational to be called pyro's best flamethrower. It certainly isn't trash, and it's good when you have good aim, but the grotesque airblast delay means that in a theoretical 1 v 1 scenario, where the other player has equal aim and awareness to yours, soldiers, demos, and heavies should consistently win unless you get the jump on them at point blank. While with scouts and stock/degreaser pyros, it'll likely be a even match/mutual kill. Soldiers just need time their rockets to your airblast or firing speed, and demo can do the same or place a single sticky to space you away since airblasting it or clearing it will give an opening to 2 pipe you. Heavy versus DF pyro is the same textbook as versus a very good scout: prefire to suppress their corner peaking, avoid following them into areas where they can jump you, and if you're getting owned, put away the Tomislav and take out the Natascha to make them regret existence.

[@puddin555]

This comment goes hard

[@amiablereaper]

Can confirm, tried corner peeking a heavy, they had nat, I regretted my existence.

[@mada2774]

Eh. 1v1ing soldiers as the DF pyro is essentially even once you get the hang of it. Your DPS is bigger than theirs, so stay at a medium range and jump to take smaller amounts of splash damage and win. Demos can now be directly contested in their prefferred range. It should be nited that Demos beat almost every class if they get to place a sticky in netween them and the opponent, the shtick is to close the gap before that happens. Admittedly, an uneven matchup, but considering actual game scenarios, it's more likely than you think. In both of these scenarios, airblast is an ace in the hole that can be used to flip the script. Heavy is an interesting case. You can corner peek, shimmy around, jump over his crosshair if you have high ground, surf away, or simply rush at him while he's not looking. The heavy's win condition against you is the same as every other class: look at you for a few seconds straight. The difference the Dragon's Fury makes in this interaction is allowing you to BULLDOZE him in 2 seconds flat, putting pressure on his execution. If you can shoot the pyro nonetheless, congrats! You are in the 5%. Everybody else struggles to edge out a win. The Dragon's Fury, like any Pyro primary, needs good defensive movement to be used well. To pick a fight, any fight, without this, is a fool's errand. TL;DR: Fight enemies on YOUR terms. YOU are killing THEM, act accordingly. Move where they can't shoot, and blast them quick. Sidenote: The Dragon's Fury has one of the highest DPS values in the game. 177 is nothing to scoff at. Plus, the bottomless clip ensures you can simply keep blasting. Try the Krampus map, and just slam him with damage. It's easy to hit the 800s in 10 seconds of damage output, where most weapons would reload, need a special condition, or simply not be able to deal all that.

[@themaninblack08]

@@mada2774 I pretty much prefaced the comment with the "the other player has equal aim and awareness to yours" thing so that we didn't get into the argument of if a weapon is good because you can win against typical pub trash with it. The issue with DF against a good soldier is that at the range where DF excels, it usually gives solly the option of just jumping away unless you've basically caught him at a corner with a low ceiling. Stock/Degreaser have much more ability to prevent him from escaping via airblasting to mess up his movement, as well as at a minimum not dying in the deathmatch. As I see it a skilled pyro with stock/degreaser is very likely to at least not die to an equally skilled shotgun-less soldier, while the DF gives up the not dying part for the fast kill speed *if* the solly chooses to not jump away. Meaning that if the pyro is in disadvantage the stock/degreaser is significantly better and the DF is pretty bad, while the DF is situationally better when the pyro is in advantage if the solly can't run away. The inability to keep your team safe from explosive spam is another issue for the DF, but that's irrelevant to the deathmatch topic. Heavy farms pyro on pretty much any flamethrower if he is semi competent and isn't caught unware and unrevved. You don't follow the pyro like a lemming when you know he can corner peek you. If you do need to take the corner, just keep pre firing it while doing a long peek so that if he pokes around the corner he's already taking damage before he knows where to aim and he isn't juking your crosshair at point blank range. If this puts the heavy player in the top 5% of the playerbase, it's more of an indication of the playerbase's skill than the DF's merits. If the other team looks like fresh installs then by all means use DF on their heavies, but against a skilled heavy the matchup is still highly unfavored regardless of the flamethrower that is picked. The correct move for the pyro, DF or not, is running away to his team before the heavy rounds the corner.

[@mada2774]

@@themaninblack08 1: The solly jumping away counts as a win for him? Wouldn't it mean he gave up ground? 2: Airblast can only prevent a soldier from jumping away if there's structures to help him, otherwise he's opening himself up for attack, while increasing the soldier's distance from him. Therefore, wouldn't the DF also excel when there's structeres to impede movement? 3: Heavy takes more aim than the DF, especially in closer ranges. Have you EVER seriously tried mowing down a DF pyro on your skill level? It's very hard. Besides, revving up is an objective part of heavy's class structure, and ignoring it implies that a heavy will ALWAYS be ready for an encounter, which he will not. If both players surprise each other, the DF wins. If both know they're there, it's a 50/50 whether the Heavy can get a good position to avoid corner peeking, strafing, etc. Also, you seem to ignore the fact that a Heavy has a smaller and faster target to hit than the Pyro. If both can aim equally well, then, objectively, the Pyro's job is easier, no?

[@PetroklosZDM]

Incredible video. You're the first person I've met with such in-depth understanding of the DF. Some additions: - It should be noted that in comparison to other Weapons, which tend to have a 50% or more damage loss from Maximum Ramp-Up to Maximum Fall-Off, the DF only has roughly 23%. This paired with its increased reach over Flames, makes it an incredibly stronger mid-range Weapon. - Two close-distance Shots against 125HP Classes, with no extinguishing or fire resistant shenanigans, will put them on death's door with enough Afterburn to seal the deal. At this point you could stop focusing on hitting a Combo Shot, or even stop firing at them completely, and focus solely on dodging, which can be a life saver against Scouts, Snipers and Spies. You could even be super cocky and just Taunt while they burn to death. - Good Scouts who've realized that you're able to consistently two-shot them, will try to harass you with chip damage using Pistols and/or Bleed DoTs. Using Flareguns can give you the upper hand in this chip-damage-fight. The Detonator is the most reliable to set them on fire with, the Flaregun can two-shot them, and the Scorch Shot is itself. - For Soldiers and Demomen, hitting the first DF Shot followed by a Combo Shot will deal enough Damage to potentially put them in panic mode, leading to predictable attack patterns. That's when you can reflect their Rockets/Pipes to seal the deal. A second DF Combo Shot would be more reliable, but if you're on low enough health that their posthumous Projectile Damage could end up killing you, a successful Reflect would both kill them and save you. - Due to the DF's Projectile not disappearing on Hit, enemy Pyros can Reflect it even AFTER it hits them, making the Flamethrower vs DF match-up even more biased towards Flamethrowers. - Flare -> DF Combo -> DF Combo deals more than enough Damage to kill Pyros, so if you've got any Flaregun on hand, tag the enemy Pyros with a Flare as you're approaching them to initiate fights with a DF Combo Shot rather than a normal one. It's hard to do, but provides a massive edge to the DF Pyro. - Heavy's large Hitboxes and Scout's small ones DON'T matter against the DF, as both its simple and combo shots are calculated based on the Enemy's Collision Hull, which is the same dimensions for all Classes. This is also partially why sometimes the DF hits its Combo when you wouldn't expect it to and vice versa, since Collision Hulls' rotation is locked to the Maps' axis and doesn't rotate with the Players' PoV. Here's a video showcasing that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6bIfaKirNR_hdU - Level 3 Sentries have 216HP, don't take (mini)Crit Damage and their Rockets deal 100 Damage. So it takes three Reflected Rockets to destroy them, not two. However, if you have any Damaging Secondary on you, you can fit in a Flare or a couple of Shotgun Shots while the Sentry is reloading its Rockets and deal that 16 extra Damage you'd need. - Dragon's Fury Pyros can make excellent Uber Targets to take down nests, be it by shredding the Sentries or kill the Wrangling Engineers through their Buildings. But it's imperative for the Medic to be leading the charge and be taking all of the Sentries' knockback, the Pyro won't ever reach them otherwise. - Man, fuck the Dangershield. I get why it has the Afterburn Immunity, it's a bandaid fix to how easy it is to apply 7.5 seconds of aim-flinching Afterburn with the Detonator and the Scorch Shot, but its 50% Damage Resistance is uncalled for and absolutely neuters the DF against them. Fuck that weapon. I have nothing of value to add here, just needed to vent. Again, great video. I can't fully agree that the DF is Pyro's best Primary, but it sure as hell rekindled my flame for Pyro and TF2. Regular Flames just don't satisfy me anymore lol.

[@zuresei]

what the fuck is that shit about the collision hull? why would it-!? valve...

[@PetroklosZDM]

@@zuresei Yeah, all Projectiles and AoEs calculate "hits" against Collision Hulls rather than Hitboxes. I really have no clue why. Maybe because it's computationally cheaper and TF2 needed that performance gain back in 2007. Maybe it's a design decision, as hitting Projectiles on a Scouts' Hitboxes would be so much incredibly harder to do. As for why Collision Hulls don't rotate with the Player's PoV but rather stay locked to the maps's orientation, I really don't fucking know. It just makes Projectiles up to 40% more likely to hit if you and your target are standing in the correct diagonal. And the Airblast has the exact same issue of not rotating with the Player's PoV, leading to misses on otherwise certain Reflects, or to Reflecting Projectiles that were nowhere near the intended area. It's a real mess. Just TF2 things I guess 🤷

Pyro: You eat them for breakfast, except you'll probably need to be slightly more careful than just that DF Pyro: Nobody knows how to use this weapon lol. If they do though... Well, let's hope you're good at Scout duels. Demoman: DANGEROUS, like soldier. Kill him quickly... which you can. Heavy: Eaten for lunch. Engineer: If you have an uber, he will die fast and the piercing shots will kill him, too, even through his sentry. Medic: Uhhhhhh about 50/50. With uber, you can.... push him once I guess?

[@kirbyfreakyt4695]

@@andybogdan4380 Shotgun is harder to hit than DF imo. And... why would you get into airblast range? Dragon's Fury has plenty of ra... *Wait can't DF shots be reflected...?* Heavies are undoubtedly easy prey if you're good at cornerpeeking and/or soften then up with a good Scorch Shot/Detonator flare first but... even SCOUT can take down a Heavy with 3 good shots from a stock scattergun as long as he doesn't have overheal... 75 x 4 = 300, and a Heavy on the battlefield probably will have taken hints of splash damage or stray bullets here and there anyways so you'll probably ALSO only have to hit 3 shots. And as for Spy... *PLEASE* stop treating the DF like a melee weapon. It is NOT the Caber. It's not like R.O.B. in Smash bros using Neutral Special without any charge You have LOTS of range. It's not as effective at hitting the spy, correct, but it does so much damage if you CAN hit your shots it's almost better.

There is also the three main sub class.

Because to stop the charge you need to use Airblast which is slower because shooting him doesn’t stop the charge. Trolldier: just land your shots not much to be said. Fat scout: this is probably the hard counter to the dragons fury because the whole get in the heavy’s face strategy doesn’t work. Airblast doesn’t work because due to heavy’s knockback resistance.

In your combo video on this weapon, you were wrong on damage numbers. Unless I am missing something, the information presented in that video was wrong. Initial claim: “You can kill a fully overhealed Demoknight with a shield in 1 second.” Later claim: “You can deal 200 damage in 1.1 seconds.” A true DemoKnight, using the Ali Baba’s Wee Booties or Bootlegger reskin, even if you used the Eyelander’s reduced starting health and had no heads collected, had no overheal, as well as using the Tide Turner for the weakest resistance, you would still have around 210 effective health against flames. This is more damage required than what you claim (and in a longer period of time), and this isn’t even taking into account overheal. So, your claim was completely wrong. It’s more than a second, and the damage presented isn’t enough even in the most ideal circumstances. But if you actually meet up a against a Demoknight that fills all the prerequisites but also has more favourable things going for them, such as max heads on Eyelander, actually being overhealed, and using the Chargin’ Targe for max resistance, you would actually need to do 700 damage instead. 200 damage isn’t even a third of that. I feel that it is safe to say that your claim was really misleading.

[@danielsurvivor1372]

1:13 That's because hitboxes are so bad it's easier to use Direct Hit then this thing, there's a reason why this weapon isn't meta in comp. In theory it sounds good, but due to how bs small hitboxes are for the projectile, anyone who is even slightly competent at dodging will ruin your life I miss old DF. It was balanced man. If people still demanded a nerf they should've only removed either bigger projectile or require you to aim closer to chest to get the crit NOT remove projectile size along with making it demand you to aim straight to chest to even do dmg

A few things that help against some of the classes: Getting onto the highground when fighting soldiers will force them to hit directs, very useful Getting a demoman's face will make them take damage from their own explosives, Just watch out for the bottle Getting close up to a heavy and strafing around them makes it harder for them to hit you (more useful and if you switch directions up) Also finding away to obscure your hitbox (ledges, rocks, and other things) can help when fighting a heavy Stay a bit away from spys since they might try to do a trickstab Tf2 players never look up If you see a dot on the wall just move your mouse everywhere and play dance-dance-revolution on your keyboard and you should get to safety

[@DaDoc540]

Timestamp taunts: 2:35 "Yo, if you didn't want me to kill ya, ya shoulda said somethin'!" 5:15 "Fire is for cookin' s'mores, son. Get a real gun." 8:32 "Mmmphya harrgh mrgha hrghgph!" 12:16 "Go to hell, and tell the devil I'm comin' for him next!" 15:17 "The burning you feel? It is shame." 17:36 "Didn't yer momma teach ya not to play with matches?" 19:54 "Vould you like a second opinion? You are also ugly!" 23:23 "That snuffed yer fire, ya filthy arsonist!" 26:45 "Good Lord! You fight like a woman!"

[@JTruong3rd]

Sadly they still haven't made more variants of this weapon, still waiting for the day we get a strange variant, maybe more paint for it too.

[@Jeykit0]

Meet the Soldyro

[@Aibadenshi]

Kinda wish they make more weapon aim dependent.

[@2345Z]

There's just one problem with using the Scorch Shot, everyone you fight will hate you forever

[@bigfootfighter4132]

Dont get what all the scorchshot hate is about. Its really strong yeah, good weapon, but i dont remember people complaining about it when it was added nearly as much as they have been in the last couple years, if at all. It may be annoying to fight but not any less annoying than soldiers's splash dmg or the sniper in general, or like a hundred other things in the game

[@Orang3Eric]

I might use it more thanks to this guide

[@BeniaminG_]

I'd probably use it more if it could be strange

[@jamsestippp3158]

my fav combo scorch shot dragon fury hit the scorch shot then exploding killing any light class

[@thomabois6536]

So carry the scorch shot with the panic attack to kill scouts with the dragons fury

[@Flamma_Dreemurr]

I hear that world revolving music in the background Certified banger

[@gummygal008]

the dragon's fury turns pyro into hot scout

[@frazzianimations9027]

Amazing video dude I have i say I also really love the dragon fury as a weapon hits fun to go on a rampage with it with it And I think there is one very unused second dairy that could definitely help the match up agent another pyro will your are using the dragon fury (that being the gas paser…) yes I know it sucks outside of mvm) but think about it gives you more chances to hit that second shot with the dragon fury it might take a while to charge but but you can uses other enemies like spys, demos and heavies to help with that Anyway thanks for the helpful information!

[@cheddartaco]

24:12 look ma there i am 1:20 16:08 and there i was... it's strange seeing not just myself but also so many familiar names. and i guess my fear of being put in a frag compilation became true. yay.

[@danielleanderson3971]

DF is pyro's most honest primary, and i love it when DF pyros play instead of phlog. And im a heavy main.

[@bohnzo473]

I mean it is also in my opinion, tf2's most stressful weapon to use since you can't cheap kill in any way with this weapon and it requires your full attention all the time

[@srhotty]

thank you i can finally revive pyro main me

[@Crazedave2]

Okay, but what if the medic runs at you with the syringe gun and can actually aim it (in my case it was the overdose)

[@jeff_-]

me when watching thsi vid: WAIT U CAN AIRBLAST THE DRAGONS FURY!?! good vid btw

[@Фузе]

10:35 its no longer the dragons fury its the dragons furry (the joke is in the chat)

[@charliem2965]

If only there was a strange dragon's fury.

[@kaimacdonald3006]

If only. Means I don't have to farm for one and can just use the contract one of with tho

[@recurvestickerdragon]

This video is detailed, well thought out, and overall excellent... But the casual use of the scorch shot... That goes against my code of ethics.

[@superfinch5161]

Remember this: PAP Panic Attack Pog

[@MannFace51]

Nobody will ever get to wield day1 Dragon’s Fury. Instead of the tiny center hitbox being able to crit, the ENTIRE FLAME could crit and was larger to boot. Nowadays you gotta hit center mass, and with tf2’s wonky collision - you might as well use stock flamer, and you get an actually usable RoF for airblasts

[@joeyjonquantaviusjr9927]

Just watch the video, he explains pretty well how it can outdmg the stock, even direct hit

[@termisher5676]

For fighting spy: Spy would never go anywhere near you if he does not have an plan or god aim for revolver.

[@vibes_4225]

thank you for this guide on my fav weapon

[@0xArkemi]

Pyros with DF are the only kind of Pyro that deserves respect

[@littlebadassgaming]

16:45 not against brass beast heavies. or ones prebuffed by chocolate.

[@S_Phoenix-059]

At least the spy-cicle is an okay resistance on a class that tends to get into the range of a pyro, meanwhile the Darwin's Danger is on a class that will never, if ever, being in the range of a pyro. Sniper can easily shut down a pyro in one shot, and a pyro has to put in effort to flank in order to get to a sniper.

[@ladyhoundstooth5671]

You thought this was about the Dragon's Fury, but in fact it's a stealth Panic Attack tech video Not complaining, mind you.

[@PersonalityBreakdown]

0:08 because is broken

[@HEWHOTAWNS]

you know how you can pop people in the air with the dragons fury, does that count as a minicrit with the reserve shooter?

[@listertf2]

nope

[@HEWHOTAWNS]

@@listertf2 sad and cringe :(
