Pyrokinesis
From The World Ends With You
NOTE: Pyrokinesis is the name of both the psych and the pin. This article is about the psych Pyrokinesis. The article about the pin is here.
Pyrokinesis is a negative psych found in several brands. Dragon Couture possesses three pins with this psych. It is activated by pressing on an empty area, then dragging the flame along a path. If there are no conflicting psychs in the pin deck which are activated by pressing on an empty space, the flame is able to remain stationary. The color of the flame varies among the pins. All Pyrokinesis pins are categorized under A class.
[edit] Analysis
Pyrokinesis is an undesirable psych. Most of its pins are unavailable for the majority of the main game, and the psych itself is completely overshadowed by the Flame Blast psych.
[edit] Black Mars (set) vs. Flame Blast
At 105% efficiency, Black Mars will deal slightly more damage than the best Flame Blast pin. However, this pin is the fourth offensive option behind Uranus, Jupiter, and Mercury. Those pins have higher efficiency, so even the best Pyrokinesis pin cannot shine.
[edit] Flames Afar, Foes Aflame vs. Final Pyre, All Expired vs. Flame Blast
Due to Pyrokinesis' low efficiency, FAFA does not deal much more damage per hit than FPAE. FPAE has taller flames and lasts more than twice as long. Unfortunately, the noise that drops FPAE does not appear until week 3, day 5. FAFA cannot be obtained until week 3, day 7. On the other hand, Tin Pin Sunscorch can be obtained on week 2, day 6. It is the weakest Flame Blast pin, but still deals more damage than FAFA and FPAE. Therefore, both Pyrokinesis pins are obsolete in the main game unless they are obtained earlier via a mingle shop. At least FAFA is able to evolve into the powerful Blue Blood Burns Blue.
[edit] Pyrokinesis (psych) vs. Shockwave (psych)
The Shockwave pins from Jupiter of the Monkey deal their damage more quickly and should be your main option. However, Blast Warning is a suitable and inexpensive second option for the early part of the game. Ditch it once you obtain better pins.
