GoBlocks Aftermath

The Pyro is a pyromaniac of indeterminate origin with a muffled voice and a burning passion for all things fire related. As shown in Meet the Pyro, the Pyro may be delusional, visualizing themself in a utopian fantasy world known as Pyroland.

The Pyro specializes in fighting enemies at close range using a homemade Flame Thrower. Enemies set on fire suffer from afterburn and take additional damage over time, allowing the Pyro to excel at hit-and-run tactics. Due to the Flamethrower's short range, the Pyro is weaker at longer ranges and relies heavily on ambushing and taking alternate routes to catch opponents off-guard.

Although categorized as an offensive class, the Pyro also brings some utility to the battlefield. The Pyro's compression blast, for example, can deflect enemy projectiles, extinguish burning teammates, and forcibly reposition any enemy, including one under the effects of an invincibility-granting ÜberCharge. Because enemies hit by fire are visibly ignited, the Pyro is the best class for Spy-checking, as even a small puff of flames can nullify the effectiveness of the Spy's cloak and disguise. Additionally, the Pyro can use the Homewrecker, the Neon Annihilator, and the Maul to protect an Engineer's buildings from an enemy Spy's Sapper. The Pyro can also use the Detonator or Scorch Shot to Flare jump, and the Thermal Thruster jetpack to fly to places that are normally unreachable to them.

The Pyro wears an asbestos-lined suit that provides protection from the afterburn of other Pyros and all flame-related weaponry (except for the Dragon's Fury and Gas Passer, which can light even Pyros on fire), although it does not provide any resistance to direct damage from flamethrowers, flare guns, or explosions. The three incendiary grenades on the Pyro's character model are purely cosmetic and cannot be used.

The Pyro is voiced by Dennis Bateman.
