Hero Siege - How to Pyro

This guide will teach you the arts of fire and how to properly master it to burn your way through the game

Some basics about Pyro

So Pyro is basically a fire mage class that specialises in using fire attacks to cause AOE (area of effect) damage, as well as DOT (damage over time) damage.

This means that Pyro is an offensive class that overall does better with damage builds rather than tanky builds. However, having 1 or 2 equipments with armor would still be essential or your Pyro will be extremely squishy and probably cant sustain a single boss attack.

When playing Pyro, always stay a safe distance away and dodge the enemy attacks. Remember, YOU ARE NOT PLAYING AS A TANK so do not jump into the centre of a mob gang unless you are confident that at the current difficulty, your health and armor can sustain sufficient hits

1st Play Style and Build - Auto Pyro

So the first play style that I would recommend is the Auto Reliant play style. As its name suggests, this play style mainly revolves around your auto attacks. This play style will suit you if you're lazy and dont feel like pressing your skill buttons, or if you dont feel like risking your life to go near mob gangs to use your skills.

So how this play style goes is that you stand a very safe distance away and spam your auto attack at the mobs, and at the same time dodge all projectiles that the enemy mob might throw at you.

For your equipment build, you will want to use equipments that increase strength attributes more than energy attributes. You will still need some equipments that increase energy attributes for the synergy with your passive skills so as to increase their damage.

For your attribute tree, you will want to increase your strength attribute mainly to increase your auto attack's damage. Put a few points into health or armor if you're feeling squishy or can't dodge enemy projectiles that well.

For your skills tree, make sure to at least put one point in every skill (in case you might need it if you get cornered), but mainly max out your Blazing Trail, Splitfire, Fireflies, and Apocalypse. The reason why I do not recommend maxing out Meteor is because its damage is not that great and it doesnt travel too far, which means staying a far distance away might cause your Meteor to not hit the enemy mob. However, if you do get any extra points after maxing out the 4 above mentioned skills, you can place them into Meteor

So there you go, the Auto Reliant build is now free for you to use =) Also dont forget to comment on my Steam Profile if you found this build useful

2nd play style and build - Hydra is a Pyro's best friend

So for this 2nd play style and build, I will be recommending the Hydra build and play style. For this play style and build, you will be mainly placing down Hydras to help quickly shred the enemy mob. I have seen and read guides about Pyro which diss Hydra, saying that its a waste of mana and that its useless. But as a guy who used this play style and build to carry myself to level 150, I can prove that Hydra is in fact not useless and a waste of mana.

I would recommend this Hydra build and play style to you if you want to play safe and not dive into the centre of enemy mobs but at the same time want to dish out tons of damage. From my own experience and having a Hydra synergy of 30 million, I can tell you Hydra has a lot of potential and can hurt a lot.

This Hydra play style is pretty simple. All that you need to do is kite the enemy mob while placing down Hydras at the same time. By kite, I mean auto attacking the enemy mob while moving back. You will witness how quickly the Hydra shreds through the enemy mob, turning it into ashes in seconds

For your equipment build, you will want to take equipment that increase energy attributes more than strength attributes to maximise your Hydra's synergy. You will still need some strength attributes because you will be kiting the enemy mob with your auto attacks. Take a few equipments that also increase armor or stamina in case you get cornered while kiting. IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure that your weapon has high mana steal to quickly cover the Hydra's mana cost

For your attribute tree, you will want to mainly increase your mana/energy attribute to maximise your Hydra's synergy, as well as overall increasing your mana pool. You can put a few points into health or armor if you're feeling squishy, or a few points into strength if you feel your auto attack isnt hurting too much.

For your skill tree, you will want to max out Hydra first (Obviously) before going on to max out your other passive skills such as Blazing Trail, Splitfire, Fireflies, and Apocalypse. Also dont forget to put at least a point in every other skill in case you get cornered.

So there you go, the Hydra play style is now free for you to use =) And dont forget to comment on my Steam Profile if you found this build useful.

3rd play style and build - Slay (Play) -ing with fire

So for the 3rd (and final) play style and build, I will be recommending the AOE Pyro build. From the basic Pyro info up till the 2nd play style and build, you must have noticed that I havent mentioned anything about AOE. So where did the AOE go? Well, I have been saving the best for last. The AOE build is guarenteed to decimate enemy mobs through its high skill damage output.

I would recommend this build and play style to you if you prefer to take the fight to the enemy mobs rather than waiting for them to come to you. But be warned, its a risky play style and you might die if you're not careful and get cornered by enemy mobs.

For this playstyle, you will be using your skills very often, mainly Fire Nova and Armageddon and be going close to enemy mobs to hit them with your skills. Hence, having some armor/resistance and health/stamina will be very crucial as you do not want to be bursted down quickly by enemy mobs.

For your equipment build, you will want to take equipment that increases your energy attributes, armor attributes, and stamina attributes. The energy attributes are required to increase your skill synergy and the armor and stamina attributes are to make you more tanky

For your attribute tree, you will want to increase your attributes based on your equipment. For example, if your equipment gives more armor and stamina, you should mainly increase your energy attribute. If your equipment gives more energy, you should mainly increase your resistance and health attributes.

For your skill tree, you will want to max out your 'Active' skills, Fire Nova, Armageddon, and Fireswarm. I would not recommending maxing out Hydra for this build as the playstyle is more of a hit and run rather than stay and fight. Also, remember to at least put a point in every other skills.

So there you go, the AOE build is now free for you to use =) Also, dont forget to comment on my Steam Profile if you found this build useful.

[FallVac]

I go to 3rd build. thanks to you~!

[don kevka^]

Maybe also include Items (Like what Stat to have on Armor / Charms...)

[Daxirael]

Thanks for your honest opinion =) I will be sure to update the changes after I have finished my business work

[don kevka^]

You should include your Skills and Talents for every playstyle. It is quite irritating to read in my opinion.
