{{For|a list of all cards in the Pyrus Faction|:Category:Pyrus Cards}}
 +
As the most aggressive Faction in the ''Bakugan'' reboot, [[File:Bbp pyrus.png|21px]] '''Pyrus''' is geared towards the offensive and seeks to overwhelm the opponent with damage.  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 (Generation 2)|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 {{Attribute|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 {{Attribute|Ventus2}} and {{Attribute|Haos2}}, 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 {{Attribute|Haos2}} and {{Attribute|Darkus2}} on [[Dual Faction Card|Dual Faction Cards]] and Faction exclusive BakuCore bonuses; conversely, Pyrus Flip Cards usually defend against damage from {{Attribute|Aquos2}} and {{Attribute|Ventus2}}.  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 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]], Pyrus is also paired with {{Attribute|Aquos2}} and {{Attribute|Ventus2}}, 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.

For the Bakugan: Battle Brawlers Green Ability Card version, see Pyrus (Card).

Pyrus refers to elemental power of fire. Bakugan that belong to Pyrus have a wide variety of shapes, including dragons, samurai, and kitsune.

Generation 1[edit]

Original Pyrus symbol

Pyrus, 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[edit]

The Legendary Soldier of Pyrus was Apollonir before he transferred his Attribute Energy to Drago.

Gameplay[edit]

For Pyrus Bakugan, the main 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.

Gameplay[edit]

For a list of all cards in the Pyrus Faction, see Category:Pyrus Cards.

As the most aggressive Faction in the Bakugan reboot, Bbp pyrus.png Pyrus is geared towards the offensive and seeks to overwhelm the opponent with damage. As such, it has an unrivaled amount of action cards that can increase their Icon-damage.png Damage Rating. Pyrus Bakugan typically have lower Icon-power.png B-Power and higher attack on average, but this can be supplemented with cards that allow the Victor symbol.png Victor to be decided by damage rather than B-Power, such as Might of Cyndeous or Mac. Pyrus' exclusive Tag-Word Ability is 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 Double Strike Icon.png DoubleStrike, which allows them to inflict double damage. Pyrus is the only Faction that doesn't share their strike keyword with another Faction, although occasionally Aurelus 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 Battle Planet Energy Symbol.png Energy generation, and DrawaCard icon.png 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 Ventus Ventus and Haos Haos, and is the primary faction with access to cards that destroy energy and negate the effects of 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 Haos and Darkus Darkus on Dual Faction Cards and Faction exclusive BakuCore bonuses; conversely, Pyrus Flip Cards usually defend against damage from Aquos Aquos and Ventus Ventus. These paired Factions share exclusive Tag-Word Abilities: Empower for Pyrus and Haos, and 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 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 expansion, Pyrus is also paired with Aquos Aquos and Ventus Ventus, with two new keywords to coincide with them: 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.
