Upon [[taunts|taunting]], the [[Pyro]] blows a stream of bubbles as a rainbow forms over them, complete with a sparkling [[Balloonicorn]] in the center of the rainbow. The Pyro then leans over as foreboding music plays, causing the rainbow to become engulfed in flames while the Pyro laughs demonically. A fiery Armageddon then erupts from the Pyro, inflicting fatal [[fire]] damage to any enemy slow, unaware, or simply unfortunate enough to be within range. Its wide range of fire is capable of hitting multiple targets at once. The first target gets hit for 400 damage, while the next target gets hit for 200. This effect deals half of the previous damage given to the last target, and also inflicts afterburn damage and knockback to all players.

Mwuh huh huh huh huh huh!!
The Pyro

Armageddon is a taunt for the Pyro with the Rainblower equipped.

Upon taunting, the Pyro blows a stream of bubbles as a rainbow forms over them, complete with a sparkling, swaying Balloonicorn in the center. The Pyro then leans over as foreboding music plays, causing the rainbow to become engulfed in flames while they laugh demonically. The Pyro then unleashes a fiery Armageddon, inflicting fatal fire damage to any enemy slow, unaware, or simply unfortunate enough to be within range. Its wide range of fire is capable of hitting multiple targets at once. The first target gets hit for 400 damage, while the next target gets hit for 200. This effect deals half the damage dealt to the previous target, and also inflicts afterburn damage and knockback to all players.

When seen in Pyroland, the Pyro begins with the sequence of blowing a stream of bubbles, a neighing Balloonicorn, and menacing music, followed by their demonic laugh and inferno. When seen outside of Pyroland, the rainbow and Balloonicorn do not appear, dramatic music builds up, and the Pyro simply breathes a steady arc of fire before releasing their inferno. In both cases, the taunt ends with "Mwuh huh huh!" demonically.

As with most Attack taunts, the Armageddon can be used to kill enemy players during Humiliation and Stalemates.
