Scorch Shot provides some utility with a small flare jump and knockback on enemies. Use it when playing on a map with environmental hazards (cliffs, saws, etc.) for long range kills. It’s also great for harrassing the enemy, especially snipers, because you will really throw off their aim by knocking them back AND setting them on fire.
Which is better a scorch shot or a detonator?
The scorch shot has a strong aoe as well as a defensive knockback which works well with the ploterigizer (or however you spell it) because the knockback help makes up the inability to airblast with the abilty to push around opponents. The ability to set multiple people on fire also helps build the mmmph gauge faster (though pretty slow).
