===Flank===
  
In 6's, the flank consists of the roaming Soldier and the flank Scout, who coordinate with one another to secure kills. For example, in many situations, the roamer uses his Scouts as bait to lure the enemy into the roamer's hiding spot for an easy pick. If plays are made on the flank and the team secures a positional or number advantage (in 6s and Highlander) the flank classes can push forward to hold territory and create a buffer for the combo classes to push in and capture points.

In 6's, the flank consists of the roaming Soldier and the aggressive Scout, who coordinate with one another to secure kills. For example, in many situations, the roamer uses his Scouts as bait to lure the enemy into the roamer's hiding spot for an easy pick. If plays are made on the flank and the team secures a positional or number advantage (in 6s and Highlander) the flank classes can push forward to hold territory and create a buffer for the combo classes to push in and capture points.  
  
 
In Highlander, the flank composition can vary between teams, but generally consists of the Soldier, Scout, Engineer, Pyro and Sniper (both occasionally) and the Spy. Soldier plays a roaming role to distract the enemy and secure picks. Spy attacks with the help of a distraction, such as a bombing Soldier or Über push. When the Scout is not pushing the Payload cart, he watches the flanks and ensures no one flanks his own team, by putting out damage and/or getting key picks, for instance, shutting down the enemy Sniper. Ocassionally, Pyro may choose to make flanking plays if he does not stick to the combo, and the Engineer can choose to patrol a flank on maps with his sentry guns. In addition, the Sniper normally hangs far back behind friendly lines to get picks (or with the combo) but if he chooses, he may roam around on the flank to secure better sightlines on enemy players, especially the enemy Medic who is building Über.
