Editing Pyro (Highlander) (section)

=== Melee ===

==== The Powerjack ====
One of the most commonly used melee weapons used in competitive Pyro play, The Powerjack grants the Pyro 15% movement speed while active, allowing him to quickly traverse the map, which can lend itself well to flanking enemies and moving to the action after a respawn. In addition to this, killing an enemy with The Powerjack will return  25HP to the Pyro, even over healing him if he happens to be over 150HP when scoring the kill. This can make the Pyro very resilient in sticky situations, but due to the Pyro's defensive nature, this will only be used in a pinch. The 20% damage vulnerability while active may make melee fights with Spies and Scouts difficult, but an experienced Pyro will rarely put himself in this situation, and will only attack with The Powerjack to secure a kill on an injured opponent if his Flare Gun or Shotgun are not enough to finish the job.

==== The Homewrecker ====

Another commonly used melee for the Pyro, The Homewrecker deals 100% more damage to buildings - allowing Pyro to dispatch buildings such as mini-sentries and dispensers with ease. In addition to this, hitting a friendly building with The Homewrecker while it is sapped will destroy the sapper. This allows the Pyro to save the Engineer's sentry from Spies even after the Engineer has been killed. Overall, The Homewrecker acts as another asset for the support-oriented Pyro. The downside of -25% damage to players is negligible, as a Pyro will rarely be in a situation where they are forced to use their melee to defend themself.

==== The Axtinguisher ==== 

The Axtinguisher used to be one of the most commonly used melee weapons for Pyros, both in competitive and public play. It was used as part of the "Puff and sting" combination with The Degreaser, where the player sets an opponent alight with his primary, then using The Degreasers faster weapon switch time to quickly hit the player with The Axtinguisher, gain a crit and dealing massive damage to them. In addition to this, it also deals -35% damage to non-burning players, but this is negligible, considering its use. It has been nerfed to have a slower swing and switch speed, but this doesn't make the weapon unusable.
