Is the Rainblower any good, besides entering Pyroland?
is it stronger than the Backburner or the Phlogistinator or is it weaker than them?

It is a reskin of the regular flame thrower.

So it deals more damage than the phlog, and has the same damage numbers as the backburner.

It's an exact replica of the Stock Flamethrower, save for the all the happy, fancy, friendly rainbows shooting from your erect flame-gun thing.

It's a reskin.
Still, it does come wiht amazing killtaunt

If you want to use the Rainblower... I reconmend lightly delve into scripting. Why? The view model covers 1/4 of your screen and a script that hides the weapon when you have it out will help.

Yes, it's just the stock with a kill-taunt and skins. So, basically a straight upgrade from the Backburner and the Phlog, which are gimmicky weapons that are only good for and against noobs.

It can be good. With a properly timed taunt, you can give tele-campers a "pleasant" surprise.

Of course, that is the only reason why.

Rainblower > Stock Flamethrower because of its kill taunt. Otherwise, it is the same.

It's marginally better than the Stock Flamethrower due to the AOE Taunt Kill, but the Backburner has decent merit for experts at ambushing (Detonator Jumps and Powerjack help) and the Phlog gives you Health and Crits when you activate Mmmph, so they're decent sidegrades.

As to one being better? Purely situational.
