| + | 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. |

| − | As a good all-around combat class, '''Soldier''' is a class played in both 6v6 and Highlander. His high adaptability and mobility makes him vital on any 6v6 team, though his mobility comes at the expense of some health, via rocket jumping. When his rocket jumping is restricted by low health or cramped environments, he has the second slowest ground speed behind the [[Heavy]]. His weapon of choice is the [[Rocket Launcher]], a projectile weapon with good splash damage and range, and he boasts the second highest base health in the game (200).

| − | ==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. |

| − | In 6v6, each Soldier will usually fulfill one of two main roles: [[Pocket|"Pocket"]] Soldier and [[Roaming Soldier|"Roaming"]] Soldier. The Pocket Soldier focuses on defending the team's [[Medic]], using his high health to block damage intended for the Medic, gain advantageous positions during confrontations, and lead team pushes. The Roaming Soldier plays a fundamentally different role, and is the offense to the Pocket Soldier's defense. Instead of protecting his team, he controls the flank, utilizing his high mobility and health to rocket jump around the map. His job is to set up advantageous battles for his team by creating distractions or killing key targets.

| | | | |
| − | ===Pocket Soldier=== | + | ==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. |
| | | | |
| − | The most basic role of the Pocket Soldier is keeping his team's Medic alive. The Pocket along with the Medic and [[Demoman]] form the core "combo" of any 6v6 team. He and Demoman are often the recipients of an [[ÜberCharge]], allowing him to push forward with no fear of damage. Though he is often the third most important pick behind the Medic and Demoman, his massive health pool makes killing him difficult. The standard - "meta" - loadout for the Pocket Soldier is the [[Rocket Launcher]]/[[Original]], the [[Shotgun]] and the [[Escape Plan]]. While the [[Gunboats]] does allow him increased mobility during a battle, it reduces his ability to follow up after spending his Rocket Launcher ammo, making it fairly situational.

| | + | ''Main Article: [[Soldier (Highlander)]]'' |
| | | | |
| − | ===Roaming Soldier===
| + | 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. |
| − | | |
| − | The [[Roaming Soldier]]'s main job is to help one of the [[Scout|Scouts]] on the flank, and create weaknesses in the enemy combo so that his own combo can follow up. He is considered the most "disposable" unit of the team, and will often launch suicide attacks against the enemy combo in an attempt to force the enemy Medic to use his Übercharge - or kill him outright. In order to accomplish this, he must know all the nuances of a map - hiding spots, flanks, rocket-jumping patterns. By utilizing this knowledge, he can remain undetected or out-of-range until an opportunity presents itself. Even if he does not find a chance to attack, he can still relay information back to his team, who can exploit this knowledge to gain an advantage. To maximize his mobility while retaining his firepower, the most common loadout for a Roaming Soldier is the Rocket Launcher/Original, the Gunboats and the Escape Plan.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In higher levels of play, the Pocket Soldier will usually be the main caller; he will lead team plays such as pushes, retreats, ambushes, and even directing ÜberCharges.

| |

| − | In Highlander, there is only one Soldier on each team. He often functions like a Roaming Soldier would in 6v6. As such, many 6v6 Roamer strategies can be applied to Highlander as well. Often used as a mobile pick class, he is mostly run with Gunboats and the stock Rocket Launcher/Original, Black Box, or Direct Hit. A well-coordinated team can organize pick classes to work together for a common goal, like forcing a Medic to use his [[ÜberCharge]] or destroying an Engineer nest. In most maps, Soldier is used to control the flank; his job is to prevent enemies from ambushing his team, or ambushing the enemy himself. Some teams will place Soldier closer to his team's combo so that he can defend them with his splash damage. | |

| − | |description = The '''Beggar's Bazooka''' is arguably the most unique rocket launcher out of Soldier's arsenal. Instead of firing rockets and then reloading, Soldier must load up to three rockets, then fire. Loading additional rockets will cause the launcher to overload, damaging Soldier and any enemies next to him. Soldier can intentionally overload, and use the damage to rocket jump across large areas extremely quickly. It cannot be used to fly across the map to bomb enemies, however - each overload jump removes a rocket from Soldier's clip, and its reduced blast radius prevents him from shredding the enemy combo. It also cannot be used at mid-to-long range, as its random projectile deviation makes it highly inaccurate at this range. The Beggar's Bazooka can be extremely powerful when holding a choke point, but is inferior to the stock launcher in most situations.

In the standard 6v6 format, however, Engineer is rarely run outside of last point holds, and Medics almost always run the stock Medi-Gun, making the Cow Mangler a direct upgrade to the stock Rocket Launcher in nearly all situations. As a result, this weapon is banned in most 6v6 leagues. In Highlander, it can be used to disable a Sentry, allowing Soldier's teammates to follow up without being killed.

Aside from the mechanical difference in rocket jumping, there isn't much difference between the Original and stock launcher, making these weapons mostly interchangeable.

This weapon excels at clearing out enemies at point-blank range, and can be used to follow up on Rocket Launcher damage near-instantly. However, it is nearly useless at medium range, leaving Soldier vulnerable to Scouts and Demomen, who can stay out of his effective range and attack with little threat of retaliation.

| − | |description = The '''Market Gardener''' is used as a pick weapon, most often by Roaming Soldiers. If Soldier hits an enemy while airborne from a blast jump, he will deal a critical hit. This makes it a high-risk, high-reward weapon. If Soldier lands a hit on the enemy Medic, he is guaranteed a kill, as opposed to simply forcing the Medic to use his ÜberCharge. If Soldier misses, he will die and accomplish nothing. The Market Gardener is far less popular than the Escape Plan; unless Soldier can remain undetected until the last second, he will almost certainly be shot down by the enemy combo before reaching his target.

| − | |description = The '''Pain Train''' increases the user's capture rate by 1 (from 1x to 2x), at the cost of a 10% bullet damage vulnerability. In the standard 6v6 format, Demoman often equips the Pain Train in order to capture points faster, though Soldier can also do so to benefit his team.
