Playstyle:
As a Pyromancer, you want to stay in the middle of the action and use your fire skills to control the battlefield. Heatwave is your primary skill, as it deals damage and ignites enemies in front of you, reducing the cooldown of the skill when a burning enemy is killed. Thermal Bomb is useful for taking out groups of enemies, and Ash Blast is excellent for interrupting enemies and inflicting the Ash status on them, making them more vulnerable to your fire attacks.
Use Feed the Flames to heal yourself by killing burning enemies. Remember that the restored health increases for each additional enemy killed with the skill, so try to use it on groups of enemies whenever possible.
Make sure to take advantage of your class tree and focus on improving your fire abilities. Ashes to Ashes, Trial of the Ashes, and Fueled by Ashes are essential for reducing your skill cooldown, increasing your anomaly power, and gaining bonus health whenever you ignite an enemy. From the Ashes and Trial of the Phoenix are useful for healing yourself and increasing your maximum health, respectively.
Remember to stay mobile and use cover to avoid enemy fire. Keep an eye on your health and use your skills strategically to keep yourself alive and deal as much damage as possible. With this build, you should be able to burn your way through any enemy in Outriders.
