Strategy

While Scorch usually relies on extremely damaging but close range attacks such as Heat Shield, Wildfire Launcher significantly increases his threat range by increasing his primary weapon's damage. This allows him to take on passive play fights much better and become applicable on way more maps and scenarios than he otherwise would be. The downside is that Scorch loses some of his close-range threat as a result, allowing Ion and Legion to take him on much more confidently in close quarters, but the downside is fairly minimal compared to the benefits.

Wildfire Launcher is often considered to be Scorch's best kit in competitive play, as enemy titans are often smart enough to always avoid Scorch's fire traps and heat shield, leaving his primary as his only option. However, in most normal games, players are not as coordinated or aware, making it somewhat less effective there. Regardless, Wildfire Launcher's effect should not be underestimated.
