In the standard [[6v6]] format, Soldier boasts high mobility and damage, and is vital to his team's success. Unfortunately, in Highlander, he is easily denied by classes not generally run in Sixes; his rocket jumping is greatly hampered by Engineer and Heavy, and his slow ground-speed makes him an easy kill for the enemy Sniper. As such, he is arguably the least important class in the Highlander format, and generally spends much of the game distracting the enemy team or ambushing key targets such as the enemy Medic or Sniper.
+
The Soldier is probably the weakest and the least important class in a Highlander team; the presence of classes which are not run in [[6v6]] that can deny the Soldier very easily causes the Soldier's job to be limited to distracting and roaming, trying to pick off important targets.

The Soldier's role is quite similar to the 6v6 [[Roamer|roamer]], concentrated on distracting the enemy team and bombing the enemy in order to kill an important target. Additionally, along with the [[Scout (Highlander)|Scout]], the Soldier's job is to watch the flanks and stop any flanking efforts by the enemy Scout or Soldier.

−
* '''Black Box''' - Popularized by vhalin of The Syndicate, the Black Box is a weapon used primarily to increase the Soldier's survivability. Its 'heal on hit' attribute allows Soldier to distract the enemy team significantly longer than with other launchers. As a trade-off, Soldier's bombing capabilities are greatly diminished, as the Black Box's reduced clip size makes it difficult for him to continue fighting after a rocket jump.
