Buff Effect: Refills health completely and unlimited crits.You will be at a slight disadvantage against other Pyros as you have to rely on your other weapons to outdamage them. Set alight an enemy, airblast if you need to then quickly switch to your Axtinguisher or Flare Gun and you can finish them before they even realize what has happened. The Degreaser isn't as good as your other flamethrowers on it's own, but combined with the right weapons, it can become a deadly tool in your arsenal. The Degreaser grants you a faster switch time between weapons, but direct damage and afterburn damage is reduced. Medium Range Damage: 3.68 per particle (~82.8 DPS).Point Blank Damage: 6.14 per particle (~138.15 DPS).Your airblasts cost much more ammo, and can quickly run out, so save it only for emergency situations, and don't directly engage Soldiers. While the Flamethrower is good for 1-on-1 confrontations, the Backburner can devestate most of the enemy team if caught by surprise. The crits from behind means you get much more with an ambush. It inflicts crits when burning an enemy from behind, but air blasting requires 50 ammo instead of 20.
The Backburner is the unlockable Flamethrower designed for ambushing. The damage is relatively low for a taunt kill, but its area is wide enough to hit multiple enemies nearby. When activated, you will create a rainbow above you (spew fire out of your mouth) and generate a massive fireball that damages and ignites nearby enemies. The Rainblower reskin not only automatically puts you in Pyroland vision, it also has its own taunt kill called Armageddon. Whenever you see a teammate on fire who isn't likely to head back to resupply, put him out with your airblast. It can also be useful to stop enemies like scouts from running away: Airblast them into the air to buy you some time to get in between them and wherever they're trying to go. You can use it on ubered people too, try and separate the enemy medic from his patient or just bounce both enemies away until the uber wears off. Keep in mind when reflecting projectiles that the airblast isn't simply a mirror: Rockets, grenades, midair stickies and flares will all be redirected to where your crosshair is pointing. Airblasted projectiles become critical hits when returned to the enemy. This burst of air can reflect projectiles, extinguish teammates, shift stickies and bounce enemy players around. The flamethrower's alternate fire will let out a burst of compressed air at the cost of 20 ammo. The flamethrower cannot fire underwater, however, holding down your jump key (default spacebar) will allow you to skim across the top and fire into the water. If you do set a "teammate" on fire it is a disguised spy, you should proceed to bake him. A good way to spy-check is to puff some fire into your teammates. Disguised spies will be set on fire if you flame them. Keep in mind that your chances of succeeding will be much higher if you catch your enemy off guard, if the enemy knows you're coming you will likely fail. A common strategy is to set your opponent on fire and run, leaving your enemy to die by the flames. When you hit a player with any one of the particles they will be set on fire and take a further 60 damage over 10 seconds. The particles lag behind the visible flames rendered in a server. The Flamethrower shoots out lots of particles that does tiny damage which racks up due to the amount of particles. The Flamethrower is a very powerful weapon, but has a very short range. Armageddon Damage: 400 (Decreases by half for each subsequent target).
