Gameplay Tips & Strategy

  • Fuel management: Only spray when it chips enemy groups — avoid wasting fuel on single isolated enemies.
  • Choke control: Position yourself at choke points with teammates (Brawler / Guardian Knight) in front to maximize AOE value.
  • Auto-cook: Use thrown raw food to instantly get cooked food in the field — saves time between nights.
  • Mobility: Use Level 3 speed bonus by ensuring some enemies are burning near you.
  • Fallback plan: When low on fuel, switch to secondary weapon or kite until you can refill.
  • Resource priority: Always prioritize collecting fuel resources to keep your flamethrower operational.

Counters & Who Counters Pyromaniac

What to watch out for and who counters you in matches:

  • Enemies with high mobility that avoid the cone will reduce your effectiveness.
  • Stuns and interrupts prevent continuous fire — coordinate with teammates to protect you.
  • Single-target bosses with heavy armor are less affected by burning damage; bring an Assassin or Cyborg for single-target push.
  • Be cautious of forest fires: The flamethrower may ignite the forest environment, potentially causing unintended consequences.
