Pyro Mains: Best flare gun for MVM?

[Wuewue Gumi]

Hey there. Scout main who sometimes uses Soldier and Pyro as secondary/pocket picks. I recently acquired and tried out the Dragon's Fury and given it's improved range over the other flamethrowers was thinking of going with a more ranged Pyro build.

While I personally am considering the stock Flare or the Manmelter, I wanna get the opinions of Pyro mains, which do you think is the best flare and which assists the Dragon's Fury most?
Flare Gun vs. Detonator vs. Manmelter vs. Scorch Shot

[Hell-met]

flare has no point unless you use it like a primary (only if you know what you are doing)

det for jumps

mannmelter only to extinguish

scorch for utility (jk never use)

[Hook Master]

I like the detonator to jump on tanks and the potential group damage without knockback
But it's interchangeable with the thruster imo

For dragons fury I'd go with manmelter for """synergy""" since airblast resets your firerate buff and yummy crits but on waves without pyros there is no point

Scorch knockback isn't worth the toll on your teammates for the detonator-level damage

Don't use flare much but pretty a-ok for really light unit waves and can do good damage on giants with upgrades

Basically det or bust

Detonator for extra mobility, especially if you know how to taunt-cancel with Phlog. Not sure if this is true, but I noticed that if you want to go further, you should hold RMB when you fire, and if you want to go higher, you should just shoot the ground.

Trick question: You use the gas passer

I Prefer jetpack tbh.

stock shotgun

Personally my favorite secondary on pyro is the reserve shooter
Not because Its any better than any other opinion but because it looks cool

Scorch shot because you can push giants

Pumping spare money into detonator is pretty fun for flying across the map.
