| − | + | The Medic is most commonly thought of as the most important class in TF2. He leads the pushes in order to cap more control points and to kill the enemy team. The medic's job is to provide heals to his teammates as well as provide them with overheals, also known as buffs. | |

In 6v6 the medic will only switch between 3 mediguns, the Medigun, Quick-Fix and the Kritzkrieg. The relation between the effects of each's ubercharge and building rates creates a rock-paper-scissors effect that keeps each balanced. Kritzkrieg beats the Quick-Fix because it puts out burst damage. The Quick-Fix, arguably, beats the Medigun because of the speed it can build at and because it helps a team stay alive for the post uber exchange fight. Medigun meanwhile beats Kritzkrieg because you take no damage while ubered but does build the slowest. | In 6v6 the medic will only switch between 3 mediguns, the Medigun, Quick-Fix and the Kritzkrieg.

Once the medigun charge has been activated the medic and the class(es) on the receiving end of the healbeam will flash in their respective team color and will be invincible for up to 8 seconds. The medic can switch his ubercharge to as many targets as he or she would see fit to make them invincible. However that will reduce the total time of the ubercharge as the original target will retain the uber in addition to the new target for a short period. | Once the medigun charge has been activated the medic and the class(es) on the receiving end of the healbeam will flash in their respective team color and will be invincible for up to 8 seconds.

The Kritzkrieg has the ability to overheal the healing target to 150% of their normal health just as the medigun. The charge builds at 3.1% per second on a healing target without a full overheal, once the healing target is above 142.5% of their base health the building speed is reduced by half. The minimum time it takes to get a kritzkrieg charge is 32.25 seconds. | The Kritzkrieg has the ability to overheal the healing target to 150% of their normal health just as the medigun.

The medic's preferred Kritzkrieg target is the [[Demoman]] because of his ability to cover large distances by charging his sticky launcher, big splash damage radius, big clip size and his high damage potential. During the time that the [[Demoman]] has the Kritzkrieg charge, his or her most important target is to kill the enemy teams medic and after that to kill as many of the enemy team as possible. If needed then Soldiers can also be kritzed. Scouts are generally considered bad to kritz as they cannot put out the same high amounts of damage with it. |
'''Benefits''': The Kritzkrieg builds faster allowing the team with it to increase a potential advantage or even create one. Kritz allows for killing the enemy team quickly. | '''Benefits''': The Kritzkrieg builds faster allowing the team with it to increase a potential advantage or even create one.

'''Weaknesses''': Activating the charge will not make the medic or their target invincible thus they will still need protection against incoming damage and planned attacks from the enemy team. Sentry guns will not take critical hits which makes Kritz hard to push into lasts with as the enemy team will likely have enough time to build one. The inability to become invincible means that the enemy players can easily ambush and kill the medic at any point. | '''Weaknesses''': Activating the charge will not make the medic or their target invincible thus they will still need protection against incoming damage and planned attacks from the enemy team.

| − | == | + | ==The Combo== |
| − | + | The medic usually has a soldier assigned to protect them because of the combination of splash damage from his rocket launcher and bullet damage from his shotgun. The soldier that is assigned to protecting the medic is called the [[Pocket]] [[Soldier]]. The pocket and medic together are called the combo. The combo is generally joined by the [[Demoman]]. Together these 3 classes are the main source of damage for their team. | |

| − | == | + | ==Healing Order== |
| − | + | The general heal order of the medic is to heal the [[Demoman]] first, then their soldiers, especially the [[Pocket]] [[Soldier]] and last but not least heal the scouts. The pocket will be spending most of his time near the medic so he will be getting the biggest part of the heals. During the Medigun ubercharge the pocket and the demoman will be taking most of the charge into the fight. | |

| − | ==== | + | ===The Flank=== |
| − | + | The flank consists of both scouts and the roaming soldier. Whenever the medic has the chance he or she should heal and preferably overheal the flank classes so they can continue what they were doing and you can continue healing the combo. When holding control points the medic will often call the flank to come get an overheal if their overheal is gone or the enemy team is going to push. | |

| + | ===The Rollout=== | ||
| + | During the rollout to middle on [[5CP]] maps the Medic will often buff the Demoman first to let him jump to middle. As he will arrive first these will be the only heals that he will receive before entering the fight. The Medic will then buff the [[Roamer]] who he will be healing for most of the rollout as the Roamer jumps towards middle with the Medic. During the early rollout the Medic should buff the scouts to 185 so that they will have some overheal at middle. Lastly the [[Pocket]] [[Soldier]] who likely has Escape Planned to middle should receive his crit heal overheal to 300. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | ==Positioning== | ||
| + | Knowing where to position yourself is vital to staying alive and successfully keeping your team healed. When entering an area the Medic should never be the class to enter first. The Pocket, or any other class for that matter, should go up front and check if their are sticky traps or people hiding. The Medic should always be behind his teammates protected from incoming damage or players. | ||
