The World Ends With You


Pyrokinesis is the name of both the psych and the pin. This article is about the psych.
Neku pyrokinesis

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.

Analysis[]

Pyrokinesis is most notable for its ability to damage multiple enemies from a distance and for being the first psych in the game. It is surpassed in damage by the similar Flame Blast psych, which can also inflict HP Drain, but said psych is also locked to a fixed position, making it slightly less flexible. It should be noted that different Pyrokinesis pins produce different types of flames, described in the pin descriptions as: flames, which only affect enemies close to the ground; tall flames, which can hit flying enemies; and in the case of Final Pyre, All Expired, tall flames that scatter from their course, which spread farther from the path of the drag to strike a larger area.

Black Mars (set) vs. Flame Blast[]

At 105% efficiency, Black Mars will deal slightly more damage than the best Flame Blast pin. While outclassed by Uranus, Jupiter, Mercury, and Venus in raw efficiency, Black Mars is still notable for its ability to stunlock an entire reduction's worth of Noise at once.  Black Mars also possesses the same chance of inflicting HP Drain that Flame Blast does.

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, unless it is evolved from Fiery Spirit, Spirited Fire (Pin 155) via MPP starting at week 2, day 5. FAFA cannot be obtained until week 3, day 7 unless evolved from Fiery Spirit, Spirited Fire via SDPP starting at week 2, day 5. 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 or pin evolution. At least FAFA is able to evolve into the powerful Blue Blood Burns Blue.

Pyrokinesis (psych) vs. Shockwave (psych)[]

The Shockwave pins from Jupiter of the Monkey deal their damage more quickly and should be your main option.

Green Dragon[]

The Green Dragon pin adds additional hits by generating a tornado after the flames burn out. This not only increases the damage dealt by the pin, it also allows it to juggle enemies.
