As the Pyro specializes in close-range damage, especially that of their [[Flame Thrower]], the utility of such a weapon is questionable. Regardless, the Pyro's average speed and above-average health means they have a higher chance of connecting their hits without dying. The Fire Axe's ability to deal 195 damage on a [[random crit]] gives the user a chance to immediately kill most classes, with a potent backup in the Flame Thrower if the enemy survives. This makes the Fire Axe a slightly more viable melee weapon compared to other classes, but still unimpressive compared to the Pyro's primary and secondary weapons. | ||
