Soldier

The Soldier is a class played in both 6v6 and Highlander. It is the most basic of the classes, and is a good all-around fighter. The Soldier's weapon of choice is the Rocket Launcher, a projectile weapon with good damage spread and range. The Soldier can adapt to many different situations and is a crucial class to have.

6v6 Soldier

Main Article: Soldier (6v6)

In 6v6, there are two main "types" of Soldiers: the Pocket and the Roaming Soldier. The Pocket Soldier focuses on keeping his medic alive and using heals to deal damage, take positioning on his enemies, and lead his team. The Roaming Soldier plays a fundamental role in initiating battles for his team, creating distractions and advantages, and supporting his team by controlling the flank.

Roaming Soldier

The Roamer functions as an expendable means of 'picking' (killing) an important member of the enemy team, through strategies such as hiding or bombing. The most important action a Roamer can make is usually attacking a Medic with full Ubercharge, in order to force them to either pop the Uber in self defence or lose (drop) it when they die. This creates an Uber advantage for the Roamer's team, so it is not crucial for the Roamer to survive this dangerous undertaking.

In Highlander

In Highlander, there is only one Soldier on each team. This Soldier often functions like a Roaming Soldier would in 6v6. As such, many 6v6 Roamer strategies can be applied to Highlander as well.
