*insert uncle Dane intro music*
This is an April fools video, but I would love to see UncleDane's experience with other classes. He has a very in-depth analysis to why pybros would be better off bloodthirsty, and his preference of the dragon's fury.
Depends on the map you're playing and how coordinated both teams are.
If the enemy team has better coordination and they actually work together, a Pybro will save a nest (or at least be able to prevent the team from being spammed without issue and stuff Übers so that the team can regroup and push back).
It's a lot of fun when the other team actually starts to try to push together as the Engi and Pyro work together to protect their nest, if people only attack the nest one by one they're easy pickings against a good Engineer unless they can use splash damage from a safe spot.
I have a harder time with light classes with the Fury. And Dane would benefit from using the Annihilator for water.
I agree
It's really intresting seeing him out of his element
Shhhhhhhhhhhhh

17:41, seeing a sniper next to the cliff on upward and NOT air-blasting him off the edge is ABSURD
To be fair, airblasting with the dragons fury is uncommon and you wouldnt want to risk the cooldown if the sniper didnt fall off and survived
@@asadi145 the cooldown is actually removed if you landed a hit with it before. Also the wiki says the dragon's fury airblast has more force than all the other flamethrower's
@@-RandomStranger- if so, then ankle dona probably didn't know about that, since it's his least played class
@@-RandomStranger-dragon’s fury airblast is based on momentum- so the faster you’re moving, the stronger the airblast goes. Really good for dropping down on people or after surfing a rocket.

I know I'm a couple months late to this (I was taking a bit of a TF2 break when this came out), but as a self-proclaimed Pyro main, this was such a fresh breath of air. Dane's said a couple of times before that he didn't really care for Pyro which I was fine with, it's alright if people don't share the same opinions all of the time. But actually seeing Dane give Pyro a chance and sticking with them despite previously not really liking them is so unbelievably nice to see. Also, as a little side note, I've noticed that people who don't tend to gel with Pyro typically enjoy the dragon's fury (which, yeah, fair), and the flare gun seems to be the only universally respected Pyro weapon. It's just a bit interesting seeing that.
I have never heard anyone disrespect the stock shotgun either
@@Wiseguy909 true but the shotgun isn't rlly a "Pyro weapon" since it's used by 3 other classes

What you have been doing with pyro is what I have been doing with Spy recently. Playing your least played or worst class and learning how to play him is a ton of fun
I like your content.
I start doing that with Heavy and my god i had so much fun
I tried that but I suck so back to being a soldier chimp
I tried doing that with some of my least played classes (Heavy, Demoman) but I don't find them fun as much as confusing and frustrating. I don't even play half the cast (I have zero hours on Scout), and for Pyro, Soldier, and Sniper, I only really play very specific loadouts.
I tried with Medic, my least played, and eh. I could play for like ten minutes before deciding to swap to somebody else. Medic’s gameplay just isn’t up my alley.
Love how most people who end up playing Pyro for an extended period of time end up realizing that the sustain damage class is more fun when played with burst damage
Honestly, close-range projectile burst damage as a class is really solid, even if I prefer my major burst damage as a Pyro coming from a broken street sign.
dragons fury is addicting
@@CrazyQuilman157 I do wonder if Neon Annihilator works with the Gas Passer (doesn't own the latter), if it does this might be the single niche the Gas Passer could feasibly had assuming your team don't already have a milk scout or a sniper with piss

he didn't want to leave it at a cliff hanger
Little did he know, with just a single April Fools video, Uncle Dane was going to re-define the public Pyro meta forever.
For real
Yup my new pyro load out
Edit I’ve always used dragons fury but the flare gun no
Idk, I feel like people already knew that the Dragon's Fury was a fun weapon, it's just that you do need to be actually good to get the most out of it, and even then, sometimes the default flamethrower is still better because you don't have to really aim in fights and airblast is real good. People also knew that all the flare guns minus the manmelter were good, it's just a matter of what kind of gamer you are which one you like the most, and obviously the powerjack has been the meta pyro pick for like 7 years in a row or some shit
I've always run almost this exact loadout, will be mad if it becomes the generic pyro loadout lmao
The community was in remiss, they had never seen a Pyro video like this
Uncle Dane really turned into Uncle Norwegian during April Fools

Been several years since I’ve played this game. Pyro was in my top 3 most played classes. I think I was drawn to him because:
1. My aim was inconsistent at best with hitscan weapons
2. Pyros play style isn’t overly complicated or nuanced like spy for example, so it was rarely an overwhelming or frustrating experience
3. I just found it fun. Pyro is great for tight corridors and inside spaces, which was great because I was never the type to stick to the main paths and open areas.

Fun fact: the initial hit of the dragons fury is actually debuffed compared to hitting an already on fire enemy, explaining the reason why it does 75 to buildings instead of 25

@@-RandomStranger- Yep. Dragon's fury gives you better dps than other flamers but in return it demands better aim.

One of the biggest things you missed on was using airblast against the players themselves rather than on projectiles. You can juggle ANY class and keep them from running away while confusing them to the point where they can't get their crosshair on you. It works best in enclosed areas and not outside, and it's definitely something to try out. Get up close to an enemy and airblast the floor.
Exactly, my first instinct when someone gets up in my face is airblast them, most classes are a lot more ineffective if they are further away.
Juggle combos are just so much fun
probably still follows under the "did i deserve it" because killing them still is just mw1, youre just spamming airblast a certain way
@@nicholasmaniscalco9490 I don’t see how it’s “just wm1” if I’m pressing mouse 2.
@@CactusCanon he's saying that m2 juggling feels the same as wm1. it's easy and undeserved.
The reason you press mouse2 when you do when an explosive class appears is because you know that that's when they are going to shoot. I do the same thing. My brain just goes "yeah he's probably gonna go from seeing me to pressing mouse1... about now" and then I right click and it works. Sometimes I mess the timing up. Sometimes I'm wrong. But this doesn't work because it's random, it works because soldiers and demomen are sorta predictable. They see thing, they shoot thing.
given your enjoyment of sentry jumping, I'm surprised you didn't talk about the flyro (patent pending) playstyle: backburner, thermal thruster, axtinguisher. When you're in the mood to mess around... can't go wrong with that. Would recommend on a map like Harvest.
awww now i wish pyro had a fly cosmetic like engineer
This video made me love tf2 that much more. The fact that someone who doesn't like a class because of their play style can like it by switching weapons and making it more personal to them. With other class based shooters I've seen, they keep adding characters instead of weapons, leading to players not playing 70% of the characters because they don't like them and there is no other way to play them. This is no means of saying the others are bad I like those too, but I've noticed I only play a couple because the rest I don't like or I get bored of them because there is only so much you can do with a character with one way of playing besides going for strategies that are different, but not good.
Cough* cough* overwatch
cough* TF2 outlive it
As the great Shammy once put it: "In Overwatch, I don't have a playstyle with Zarya -- Zarya has a playstyle."
Much respect to TF2 for adding depth to the characters it already has instead of making a bunch of simplistic characters who often feel too similar to each other.
@@QuintessentialWalrus When I first played Overwatch, that was almost immediately a criticism I had - that it has a lot more, shallow characters. Character are rather inflexible, and playing them in other ways isn't just another strategy, it's handicapping yourself. It's clearly what they were going for, but you do lose something when you move toward that more rigid game.
@@strangejune Yeah, I think the core weakness of the Overwatch approach is that you end up having several characters who do the same things, which makes everyone less unique. In TF2, the Sniper has access to half a dozen rifles and bows, but in Overwatch every rifle and every bow belongs to a separate character. The redundancy feels like such a waste of development resources IMO.
5:42 One of my favorite moments playing as Pyro is those awkward points where you're just staring at each other because half the time it will result in us having a silly exchange of emotes, because that's a lot of people's natural response to awkward moments is to laugh.

To be honest, after watching your channel it gave me a lot more confidence in Engi, after practice and learning about how good battle Engi can be with the widowmaker it gave me a whole new perspective on Engi as a whole

"its all in le head" - Pyrocynical
Consider Dane: Your brain subconsciously predicts when an explosive class is going to throw something at you, so instead of saying "I was just kinda pressing it at random ig" you *did* actually learn how to, most of the time, time your airblasts with the enemies firing. Things like that are more of an instinct than a conscious action
+1, I think it's very likely that he's super familiar with projectile timing due to both playing a lot but specifically also because you deal with projectile classes a lot when playing engy, so it's likely he has some muscle memory from timing a soldier spamming a sentry, for instance.
Yep. When I play Pyro, half my reflects are based on predicting the timing, and the difference between a predictable Soldier and a soldier that knows how to mix up their timings is night and day. The same is true when I play Soldier, there is a huge difference between Pyros who just spam reflect, and can easily be punished for it, and Pyros that can actually predict or react to rockets well.
With hundreds of hours playing both sides of this interaction, I can 100% say that airblasting is one of the most skillful mechanics in TF2.
hard copium for guessing tbh.
...and then there's the next level beyond intuition... when you get so familiar with it that you can consistently reflect all 4 rockets from a Sentry, Arrows, and the LochNLoad.
@@mrrooter601 Butthurt for rocket spam punish
I’m just now being recommended this as I’ve been starting to play TF2 again after a few years off. I tried out heavy again as of late and I’ve gotta say, I’m super enjoying him. I’m also somehow amazing playing him while pubstomping. I’m averaging 90 points a match!
I think the advice you gave of “try you least played class” was spot on. I’m a medic main but I’m starting to slowly enjoy heavy just as much
This is the first time watching a video from you and TF2, had to say I really enjoyed it man :)
I'm surprised you didn't mention detonator jumping because it's really fun and gives a lot of extra mobility to the Pyro. If you like the flare gun definitely try using the detonator for a bit too. It might not do the crazy 90 damage crits but it can still dish out quite a bit of damage and can hit multiple targets if you get good with the timing. It's basically like a balanced version of the scorch shot with more utility. Also the degreaser would definitely be more up your alley if you used it more IMO.
He also forgot LazyPurples Puff and Sting with the Degreaser :(
The same way he enjoyed circuit-jumping into shotgunning with the engineer, I think he’d enjoy detonator-jumping into dragon’s fury with the pyro.
just dont forget that you get the most blast jump by holding down right mouse button before shooting, so the flare detonates inside you giving the most blast
@@LazyBuddyBan it explodes inside me? 😳
Everyone looking to learn Detonator jumping should be downloading jump_pyrokinesis. The weapon opens up so much more possibilities for the Pyro, such as catching up to escaping Medics, jumping atop a level 3 sentry without an Uber, and the not so useful but dopamine rush fulfilling Axtinguisher-Gardening. It helps immensely if you're familiar with explosive jumping already (specifically Soldier, but I came from Demo).
uncle dane is the one guy to main pyro and still be able to build stuff

Makes a lot of sense. Having always been a Pyro main, I definitely have more of a "We take those" attitude towards any successes made from random reflects, environmental kills, and other such opportunistic gameplay. It's not luck, its skill independence.

Uncle dane, The high levels of dopamine when you reflect a Christmas ornament or baseball is insane, 90% of the time they think your cheating
In my experience, all flamethrowers penetrate multiple targets, but due to how they work the closest target takes more damage. Still, yeah, plenty of times using a dispenser as cover to burn the engi and sentry.
Personally fond of the Backburner/Detonator/Backscratcher roaming sPyro.

2:35 You can see Dane's muscle memory of going for a sentry rocket jump for a split second as he switches to his flare gun (same slot as wrangler) and starts to aim down right before quickly switching back to aiming at the Scout.
I wonder where he assumed the sentry gun was.
it looks like he had been playing with that one pyro secondary that does let you jump off it thats similar to a flare (mb for not remembering the name, havent played in years. is it the detonator? )
maybe he just checked flank?
@@bitai683 this is definitely it
@@delicatefairy2861 it's the detonator (i mean scorch shot can jump to by det jumps are better also if you use scorch shot i will doxx you)
I think Pyro is really cool just because of the insane diversity of playstyles different players will love. It's so open-ended. Each primary and secondary opens up so much interesting gameplay, so you can really customize the class to a degree I don't feel from the other classes. Pyro really has a subclass for everyone.
Pyro's a very fun class to play, probably my fourth favorite.
very true; I was waiting the whole video for Dane to touch up on the Detonator and its immense added mobility and possibilities, but then I realized that there are so many roles and ways to play for Pyro that it was natural he was gonna tend to a different one from what I'm used to. Definitely the most well-rounded class
Was that pun intended?

When I used to play TF2, I mained pyro and that was the loadout I used. But, sometimes, I rocked a backburner and flanked the entire enemy team. The amount of damage and chaos one can create if you manage to actually get behind them without being seen is soooo satisfying. I might not kill most of them, but that is a sure fire way to get a lot of assists.
nice pun bro
Back burner into the medics killing the pockets is as much fun now as it was in 2014 for me you die but the chaos is fun and if your teammates have a brain and utilize the chaos to clean up the rest you are free to laugh all the way from hell to the spawn room
@@bazbuco The jetpack helps with all of these points, especially on certain maps with lots of verticality.
@@carljohan9265 IMO detonator >>>> thermal thruster
always readily available for positioning and retreating, way faster to use and swap off, doesn't make the loudest noise of all time to the enemy team, great to support frontliners and harass crowds. it obviously won't allow you to get as high or far in one go but it's also a lot less obvious because you're not using it to cross giant sightlines and the height is still good enough to pull a lot of practical flanks

Seeing Uncle Dane in a server playing Pyro must feel like what it would if you went up to an ice cream truck to see Obama selling ice cream, but he doesn't address that he's Obama or why he's selling ice cream.
When you're talking about airblasts in the video I had to laugh. Airblasting, spychecks, team utility and flanking (otherwise group harrassment) is what separates a meh pyro from a fantastic pyro. The stereotypes are all there, as a pyro main (Or used to be as I hardly play the game anymore or have the time to be theorizing with other pyros on effectiveness or new metas of secondaries) I know that there are a lot of Pyros that do just that (W+M1). The natural chaos of getting random reflections and fire burning all around you as you detonate into a 7 man group while "Ummmph UMMMMMPH'ing" and combo'ing the nearest scout is what we live for. 😂 Also, hearing you talk about the flaregun is *exactly* how I feel about it, minus sidegrading as obviously the scorch shot is where it's at (so long as you can hit both the initial hit and pop on the ground)
As a Pyro main, I respect your choices and say that I feel the same way about half my sentry kills in the rare times I take Engie. Great video as always and glad to know you were out there setting the world on fire for a time. Always glad to watch your videos and appreciate you still making them.

Hearing the tera raid music while watching you tear it with the dragons fury was very satisfying.
fun seeing a similar arc to what ive been going through while just starting to play the game as pyro
It’ll take some getting used to but if you like the flare gun, you should try the Manmelter. It’s slower than the flare gun, but once you figure out how the fire delete mechanic works, it’s really fun to precisely pop someone from across the map with crits from a pyro that tried to light up your team. Or even non crits can be fun. Takes a lot of play to figure out the arc the laser takes though.
It also pairs very nicely with the Dragon's Fury, since airblasting is so situational on that weapon.
I love seeing that Dane's definition of "Fun Pyro" is the exact loadout I often try to use. Giving my least-played classes another chance has been my whole thing for a while because my simple brain loves seeing that silly little playtime graph be as even as possible and I love knowing the different extents of what each class can do.
Id like to mention that the other flare gun (i forgot the name, its the alien metallic one) works well on a enemy team with pyros and extends your effective range farther while mitigating having to use the dragons fury airblast to extinguish team mates, being forced to wait 2 sec to use it. its also a good punisher to the annoying scorch shot spam pyro
Someone tell him:
"That's the deal:
I get: all your buildings, pistols and wrenches

It’s weird, even tho I play pyro pretty much all the time I don’t have a fursona… is there something wrong with me?

I’m also pyro main and while I do have a ScaleSona it is pretty much the same thing
Real ahah
On the topic of Pybro, my preferred pyro melee is the neon annihilator for multiple reasons.
1. It can remove sappers for some reason.
2. It does more player damage than the homewrecker.
3. Airblasting people into water for free crits will always be hilarious.
I like it because it doesn’t force me to babysit engies to get utility out of it, but when I do have to, I’m able to remove sappers and possibly save the match by doing so.
you can also crit spies if you melt their spycicle, that always spooks them

I personally like w+m1 because if you're doing it effectively you have to fine ways to get in and out of dangerous situations while building up damage. Kinda how I like heavy using game sense and map advantage to boost your skill in something people might think is dumb, but actually has more depth when you stick to it.
@@greenoftreeblackofblue6625 and if you are doing brainless w+m1 then it's the enemies fault for dying to it.
degreaser + panic attack used to be my favourite and I still use it when on front lines but now I'm using degreaser + flare gun since getting used to airblast combos and I think I like it just as much.
As a spy main this is exactly what happened to me. I never thought I could enjoy pyro but then I found out about det jumping into an axetinguisher combo and it kinda just made it so much more fun (Instead of having to reflect someones projectile I could just jump on my own now!)
Dane: lazy what kinda defense is this??
Lazy: I AM THE DEFENSE
years later Dane: NOW I AM THE DEFENSE
So you have mastered the way of the W gaming Uncle Dane. Use this great power with great responsibility.
1:02 i did NOT expect SCOUT of all classes to be second to last... huh that is extremely interesting.
A major issue with the axstinguisher clips is just how you repeatedly go for kills with it even when you shouldnt.
The axe allows for burst damage in closer ranged encounters or against unaware players so you dont have to rely on the flames. Outside of much closer ranged encounters though youre better off using the flamethrower at a distance.
i love interactions where we dont attack each other i think it's super funny
5:13 "Andalite Warrior" These Andalite bandits are just adding to their list of war crimes by playing pyro.
One of these videos for each class would be super fun to watch imo. Just seeing Uncle try out different builds and show us his favourite and most fun way to play everyone. A complete opinion piece but I enjoyed seeing the process and his reasons for the build :D
From my view on it, the dragon's fury being bad at airblasting is a big part of its kit, it is just honestly better than most of the flamethrowers at actually killing people in just about any situation, so it trades some of its utility (airblast) in exchange for that offensive power. I personally typically use the normal flamethrower since it's the best at airblasting and I like playing a more defensive style. Honestly thank you for this wonderful video my dude and I hope your day goes wonderfully, it was nice seeing a pretty good look over on pyro and I'm glad you got past your initial perception of it being the W+M1 class
Sad you didn't mention the Manmelter; I thought you might have liked it. Yeah I know it's not as good as the flare gun, but I love using it because it's so satisfying sniping with the crits from your extinguishes :)
About time you made a video
I'm so glad you finally came out about it
Yeah, something that’s always bugged me with Pyro is that every flamethrower that isn’t the stock punishes air blasting. I would’ve hoped one of them would be designed to encourage it further.
I believe degreaser used to be the best one, because it had better switch speed and no airblast penalty (I think it used to be a flat dmg penalty instead). That's what I used to equip when I played "support" pyro.
@@Mick0Mania Agreed. And now it takes an extra five fuel over stock, which isn't terribly punishing, but its still a nerf.
@@Mick0Mania airblast now only costs 10 ammo on the "yeet funger" but ammo taken up by normal dmg is 3 ammo a second used
uncle fire 😭 glad to see you back
1:17 you didn’t have to do him like that man, he suffered enough, lmao 😂
This is really cool, I'm a pyro main who basically uses the same loadout but switched with the degreaser, I like to think of the flames from the degreaser as a debuff to apply to the enemy before switching to my flare gun (or sometimes axtingusher when I'm using it) to do the real damage even when at close range, the switch speed is something that just adds to the skill ceiling for that kind of play and I find it super rewarding.
That's the point of combo Pyro. The degreaser is a weapon to prime enemies or reflect projectiles (or Spycheck). You can W + M1 with it, but you'll have to be smarter about doing it.
The very little time it does save you can matter a lot in a deathmatch situation, which also matters for shotguns.
Exactly. Nothing beats the *crunch* of a 90 damage flare against enemy pyros. Nothing.
I never use the degreaser either. But the philosophy is pretty easy to understand. The degreaser makes your secondary your primary. You become a flare/shotgun pyro with a flamethrower in quick swap reserve when things get all up in your grill.
Just need to get a strange Dragon"s Fury in the game now. Also, it seems like it was designed to be a succesor to the Incendiary Cannon from Team Fortress Classic.
i did a similar thing with Demoman. He just came off to me as a Pipebomb spammer and i might aswell play soldier who is more consistent.
Then i found out about how good stickybombs are and how to use them more creatively and i enjoy him more than other classes now.
Finally somebody acknowledges how good the Dragon's Fury is and all the positive aspects of it, imo it is the most underrated pyro primary and always love seeing people giving it the love it deserves.
Honestly, as someone who plays Pyro all the time, I think I’d love it if I wasn’t someone who has the mission of making Spy’s miserable when they come anywhere near me. That lack of afterburn hurts bad
