This is a tutorial on how to support and be a better pyro to support your teams sake!


Step one: Aid friendly Huntsmen

If a sniper owns 1 of the following :

Hunstman
Fortified Compound

Then you should spray a slight amount of fire, this sets his arrow alight and that will deal after burn if he manages to hit anyone with it.

Ensure that you extinguish fellow teammates, so that they don't die, this comes in handy with many situations, Such as arena or saving your medics. If you own the manmelter, It is reccomended you use it's alternate attack to extinguish teammates for a guarranteed critical!

Reflecting projectiles is very important for many reasons:
A soldier could snipe an engi's buildings from far away, Reflecting them can take care of the problem.
Demo using corners to kill enemies or buildings.
Sniper with huntsman or compound delivers a quick kill if you reflect back at their head.
Reflecting Mad milk, Or jarate can be used for your benifits too, As for the jarate and mad milk covers the team that sent it.
Baseballs can still stun the enemy if succsessfully aimed properly.
Sticky grenades can camp alot of places, so it's good if you clear the way for fellow allies to move out.
Remove medics from the scene, Even if they have an active uber, They are still vulnrable to airblast, Push them off cliffs, Into holes, Etc.

Spy checking is very important because spy's dont tend to hang around the checkpoints, they want to stay behind you, So using your fire or compression blast to detect one is essential, use this to detect a spy.

Spy's move weird, They stay away from lots of people.
A spy often disguises as the same class every time, Pay attention to that.
A spy can be disguised as you.
A spy can be disguised as someone who isn't even that class.

Combinations are lethal, And combining these specific weapons are very affective, some of these do require help from a teammate.

Burning someone from behind with backburner, Then shooting them with a flare gun.
Airblast + reserve shooter.
Flamethrower, Axtinguisher(sadly nerfed).
Jarate, Fire.
Scout with sun on a stick, Fire.
Third degree, Medic.
Neon Annihialtor, Water.

Try using these weapon and teammate combinations to be a better pyro.
