{{disambigBakuganTabsLite}}{{for|the ''Bakugan: Battle Brawlers'' Green Ability Card version|Pyrus (Card)}}'''Pyrus''' may refer refers to elemental power of fire. Bakugan that belong to Pyrus have a wide variety of shapes, including [[Dragonoid|dragons]]. ==Legacy==[[File:Pyrus.svg|120px|thumb|Original Pyrus symbol]]'''Pyrus''', {{Nihongo|'''Nova'''|ノヴァ|Novu~a}} in the Japanese version, is the [[attribute]] of Fire found on [[Bakugan]]. It is found in both the original attribute system and the new system. Pyrus can be found at the inner core of the universe and is inhabited by Bakugan who draw their strength from the blazing heat that surrounds them. It is within these deep recesses of molten rock that their intensity is forged. Never one to waste even a second, the Pyrus blitz their enemies from every angle like a raging firestorm. ===Bakugan Battle Brawlers===The [[Legendary Soldiers|Legendary Soldier]] of Pyrus was [[Apollonir]] before he transferred his [[Attribute Energies|Attribute Energy]] to [[Drago]]. ===Gameplay===For Pyrus Bakugan, the followingmain point of them is to simply overpower through sheer force and shutting down ways your opponent can fight back like gate card bonuses or Ability Cards. Due to this, nullifying cards like [[Rikimaro's Surprise]] or [[Stand Off]] are very useful to stop your opponent from fighting back with ability cards or Gate effects and Stand Off also gives a great Pyrus Bonus. ====Attribute Relations====*[[Diagonal Relation]]:[[Darkus#Legacy|Darkus]]*Side Relations: [[Ventus (Legacy)|Ventus]] and [[Subterra]]*[[Triple Node]]: [[Pyrus Haos#Legacy|Haos]] and [[Aquos#Legacy|Aquos]] ===Notable Users==={| class="wikitable"!

Its [[Fighting Styles]] are:*[[Breath of Fire]]*[[Breath of Fire 2]]*[[Defense Crusher]]*[[Frenzied Flames]]*[[Combo Maniac]]*[[Relentless Rushdown]]*[[Lava Floes]] - Pyrus and Subterra*[[Storm and Spitfire]]- Ventus and Pyrus ===Color Scheme===In ''[[Bakugan Battle Brawlers]]'' and ''[[Bakugan Battle Brawlers: New Vestroia]]'', the color scheme for Pyrus Bakugan was red with orange highlights. For ''[[Bakugan: Gundalian Invaders]]'' Bakugan, the color scheme is red with yellow highlights. In ''[[Bakugan: Mechtanium Surge]]'', the color scheme is red entirely, except for the silver highlights and bottom half. ===Trivia===*The original Pyrus symbol was derived from the Han for the Japanese character for fire, {{nihongo|[[wikt:火|火]]|''hi''}}.*In the English dub, [[Preyas II|Diablo Preyas]] once says he is "part Nova," which is the Japanese name for Pyrus.*The video game-exclusive [[Omega Leonidas]]' [[Gate Card]] is strongest in Pyrus and Aquos. ====Etymology====The English name, Pyrus, comes from the Ancient Greek ''[[wikt:πῦρ|πῦρ]]''. The Japanese name, Nova, stems from the English term [[wikipedia:Nova|''nova'']], which is an astrological event that creates a bright explosion. ==Reboot==[[File:Bbp pyrus.png|21px]] {{Nihongo|'''Pyrus'''|パイラス|Pairasu}} is one of the six elemental [[Factions]] that Bakugan can belong to. It is the Faction of fire. The region on [[Vestroia (Reboot)|Vestroia]] where Pyrus Bakugan reside is known as [[Pyrule]]. [[File:Bbp pyrus.png|120px|thumb|New Pyrus symbol]] ===Information==={{BQuote|Pyrus is the most aggressive Faction, whose members aim to take out opponents before they even have a chance to get their strategy going. Pyrus wants to end the game quickly and victoriously!|''[[Bakugan: Gaming Guide]]''|page 86}} Albeit sporting a newly redesigned Faction symbol, Pyrus remains relatively unchanged from the [[Pyrus (Legacy)|legacy Pyrus]] featured in the original ''[[Bakugan Battle Brawlers]]'' series. It is stylized as the Faction of fire and aggression, reflected in both the anime and [[Trading Card Game|TCG]] gameplay, and Bakugan belonging to the group strike either relentlessly or with an arsenal of flame based attacks. *====Color Scheme and Design====Loyal to their affinity for heat and fire, Pyrus Bakugan in ball form are primarily red in coloration, with orange secondary highlights. Similar to [[Pyrus Darkus (Reboot)|Darkus]], their tertiary color is green, although the shade featured on Pyrus Bakugan is farther away from lime and comparably more saturated. In their significantly larger, monster forms, Bakugan of the Pyrus Faction can contain areas of yellow, as well as occasional white portions and black details under their armor that is almost universally shared with other ''[[Battle Planet]]'' Bakugan. Black is also represented as a quaternary color on Pyrus Bakugan in sphere form beginning from the ''[[Geogan Rising]]'' set of products. The Pyrus Faction symbol has been redesigned, and is printed on all Pyrus Bakugan starting from the ''[[Armored Alliance]]'' [[Card sets in Bakugan: Armored Alliance|card expansions]] onwards, as well as being depicted behind the text box on cards. It appears as a pointed upwards spiral that resembles a helix or an elaborate blade. ===Anime===Pyrus for is used by one of the main protagonists of the ''[[Battle Planet]]'', ''[[Armored Alliance]]'', and ''[[Geogan Rising]]'' anime, [[Dan Kouzo]]. Pyrus is not exclusively used as a Faction of the protagonists, as there are antagonists that utilize it as well, such as [[Duran Dane]] and [[McQ]].  {| class="wikitable"!

As such, it has an unrivaled amount of action cards that can increase their [[File:Icon-damage.png|22px]] [[Damage Rating]]. Pyrus Bakugan typically have lower [[File:Icon-power.png|15px]] [[B-Power]] and higher attack on average, but this can be supplemented with cards that allow the [[File:Victor_symbol.png|21px]] [[Victor (Reboot)|Victor]] to be decided by damage rather than B-Power, such as [[Might of Cyndeus|Might of Cyndeous]] or [[Mac (Battle Brawlers)|Mac]]. Pyrus' exclusive [[Tag-Word Ability]] is [[Fury (Battle Planet)|Fury]], which allows members to receive additional bonuses if the effect resolves when the player has no cards in their hand. Unique to Pyrus, their combat keyword is [[File:Double Strike Icon.png|21px]] [[DoubleStrike]], which allows them to inflict double damage. Pyrus is the only Faction that doesn't share their [[FrostStrike|strike]] [[ShadowStrike|keyword]] with another Faction, although occasionally [[File:Bbp aurelus.png|21px]] [[Aurelus]] Bakugan utilize it as well.*Other staple mechanics of the Pyrus Faction include the ability to deal instant damage without winning a brawl, temporary [[File:Battle_Planet_Energy_Symbol.png|21px]] [[Energy Card|Energy]] generation, and [[File:DrawaCard_icon.png|21px]] [[Draw|Drawing]] cards at the expense of discarding the same amount. [[Quickfire]], [[Song of Fire]], and [[Sifting Ashes]] are all examples of cards that capitalize on these effects. Pyrus is also a natural counter to the strategies of [[File:Bbp ventus.png|21px]] [[Ventus (Reboot)|Ventus]] and [[File:Bbp haos.png|21px]] [[Haos#Reboot|Haos]], and is the primary faction with access to cards that [[Meltdown|destroy energy]] and [[Hot Potato|negate the effects]] of [[BakuCore (Game piece)|BakuCores]], respectively. Pyrus is capable of directly uncharging or preventing enemy energy cards from recharging at the end of a turn utilizing cards such as [[Energy Drain]], further obstructing common Ventus tactics. Some specific techniques that are exclusive to Pyrus are the ability to draw a card from the top of the player's deck and play it for free if it isn't a [[Flip Card]], and forcing all players to discard their hand and draw an equal amount of cards from their deck, such as with [[Pyrusauna]] or [[Inferno Cannon]]. Pyrus is primarily paired with Haos and [[File:Bbp darkus.png|21px]] Darkus on [[Dual Faction Card|Dual Faction Cards]] and Faction exclusive BakuCore bonuses; conversely, Pyrus Flip Cards usually defend against damage from [[File:Bbp aquos.png|21px]] [[Aquos#Reboot|Aquos]] and Ventus. These paired Factions share exclusive Tag-Word Abilities: [[Empower]] for Pyrus and Haos, and [[Rapid Fire (Armored Alliance)|Rapid Fire]]for Pyrus and Darkus. Empower provides bonuses if an additional three Energy is paid while playing a card with the effect, whereas Rapid Fire allows the Green Ability player to play a second Rapid Fire card for free if they've already used one in a turn. As of the ''[[Secrets of the Geogan]]'' [[Card sets in Bakugan: Geogan Rising|card expansion]], Dual Faction Cards have also been implemented for Aquos and Ventus, with two new keywords to coincide with them: [[Inspire (Keyword)|Inspire]] for Pyrus and Aquos, and [[Stoke]] for Pyrus and Ventus. Inspire rewards players with bonuses if they play a card with it if they've drawn more than one card in a turn, whereas Stoke allows them to copy a Stoke ability's effect for the cost of two Energy. ====Released Bakugan =========Battle BrawlersPlanet====={{For|the list of all released Pyrus Battle Planet Bakugan|Bakulog (Battle Planet)#Pyrus}} =====Armored Alliance====={{For|the list of all released Pyrus Armored Alliance Bakugan|Bakulog (Armored Alliance)#Pyrus}} =====Geogan Rising====={{For|the list of all released Pyrus Geogan Rising Bakugan|Bakulog (Geogan Rising)#Pyrus}} ===Trivia===*Pyrus' functionality in the reboot TCG shares many parallels with Red mana in ''Magic: The Gathering''. In addition to an identical color motif, both have aggressive play styles, and both favor mechanics involving instant damage, temporary resource generation, and "looting" - the act of drawing and discarding cards.*Pyrus Bakugan in their ball forms are frequently depicted as sporting yellow highlights as their secondary color in box artwork and promotional material, contrary to them actually being orange.  ====Etymology====Like its legacy predecessor, Pyrus is derived from ''[[wikt:πῦρ|πῦρ]]'', the Ancient Greek word for fire. Modern iterations of the word with the same origins include ''pyro'' and ''pyre''. ===Gallery===<gallery>Bakugan_Battle_Planet_Dan_Kouzo_and_Drago.png|[[Dan Kouzo]] and [[Dragonoid (Reboot)|Drago]]Pyrus bakugan website.png|Pyrus on the Bakugan websitePyrule_of_Pyrus.png|[[Pyrule]]Pyrus_Dragonoid_Ultra_BGR_(Open).png|Pyrus [[Dragonoid (Reboot)|Dragonoid]] [[Bakugan Ultra|Ultra]]</gallery> {{Bakugan/nav}}{{TCGNavbox}} [[Category:Factions]][[Category:Bakugan Battle Planet]][[Category:Attribute]][[Category:Bakugan Battle Brawlers]][[Category:Bakugan: New Vestroia]][[Category:Bakugan: Gundalian Invaders]][[Category:Bakugan: Mechtanium Surge]][[Category:Bakugan Dimensions]]
