The Pyro

Taunts are character-specific animations that can be manually triggered in-game. The Pyro has several taunts, all of which are listed below with applicable voicelines and a description of the animation. This does not include voice responses or voice commands.

Primary

Pyrotaunt1.PNG Associated items Description
The Pyro thrusts their weapon in the air while cackling triumphantly or yelling; there are three different audio cues (second, third). If taunting with the Phlogistinator at full 'Mmmph' the player will gain invulnerability and knockback resistance for the duration of the taunt, they will also be granted full critical hits for ten seconds.

Main article: Armageddon
The Pyro will blow a stream of bubbles as a rainbow will form above them, a Balloonicorn forming at the top. They will then lean over and release a circular wave of fire around the Pyro, killing any opposite team members caught in the blast. If the wearer is not in Pyroland while watching the taunt, the bubbles are replaced with an arc of fire, the rainbow and the Balloonicorn are invisible.
