Fire Axe Fire Axe "Teach the valuable lesson of fire safety." | |
Like most melee weapons, each hit deals 65 points of damage, and can be swung every 0.8 seconds. 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.
