Editing Medic

Medic is a maniacal German scientist who is capable of healing his teammates, allowing them to remain in combat significantly longer. By healing them, he also charges up his signature ability, ÜberCharge, which makes Medic and a teammate invulnerable to all damage for a few seconds. Regardless of competitive format, Medic is the core of his team; if he dies, the rest of his team will have a hard time regaining health. In the standard [[6v6]] format, he is a key component of his team's combo, along with the Pocket [[Soldier]] and Pocket [[Scout]]. In [[Highlander]], the combo usually consists of Medic, [[Heavy]], and [[Demoman]]. Thanks to his Medigun's ability to lock onto they player he is healing, Medic does not need to focus on aim, and may be picked as his team's [[caller]]. However, in higher-level play, he cannot be expected to keep track of all enemy players, making main-calling Medics less common. Medic's primary responsibilities are to keep his team alive and overhealed, time and lead pushes with his ÜberCharge, and mentally track enemy ÜberCharge. Surfing damage, effective positioning, and good aim are required for Medics at high levels of play.

|description = The '''Syringe Gun''' is Medic's default primary, shooting syringes, or "needles" at its target. The syringes fired are projectiles, which means that Medic will have to lead his target in order to hit them consistently. While it deals respectable damage when aimed properly, Medic's main job is to heal his teammates, not deal damage. As such, the stock Syringe Gun sees no use in serious games.

|description = The '''Overdose''' is an unlockable primary that functions similarly to the stock Syringe Gun, but deals less damage than stock. When deployed, the weapon grants Medic a moderate movement speed bonus depending on his ÜberCharge meter. Out of spawn, it grants no benefit, but at full ÜberCharge, it makes Medic nearly as fast as Scout. While its utility may be situationally useful, the Overdose is outclassed by the Crusader's Crossbow, making it a rare sight in competitive games.

|link = Crusader's_Crossbow

|description = The '''Crusader's Crossbow''' is Medic's go-to primary. It functions like Pyro's flare guns, firing a single bolt every 1.6 seconds and reloading even when not active. At close range, the bolt deals 38 damage to enemies, which ramps up to 75 damage at long range. Shooting a teammate will heal them by 75 health at close range and ramp up to 150 health at long range, though it will not overheal. The weapon's ability to heal teammates at any range (possibly saving their life) is extremely powerful, and it is used almost exclusively in every competitive game. While it makes Medic nearly helpless when confronted by an enemy, a competent team will protect him, making its downside moot. If Medic's teammates have recently taken damage, the Crossbow's healing outclasses every Medigun, even at close range, and will build ÜberCharge as well.

 

 

 

|description = The '''Kritzkrieg's''' healing rate is identical to the stock Medi-gun. However, it charges its ÜberCharge 25% faster, for a minimum charge time of 32 seconds. When deployed, it grants Medic's teammates guaranteed critical hits for 8 seconds, which can shred an unprepared team. However, it grants no damage resistance - if the enemy team can react quickly, they may be able to kill Medic, bringing the charge to a halt. Due to its fast charge rate, however, the Kritzkrieg is usually used when at an Über disadvantage or on small maps, such as King of the Hill.
