This article is about Community Cauldron strategy.

Note: It is recommended to read the main Cauldron article first to become familiar with the names of key map locations used in this article.

General strategy

See also: Community King of the Hill strategy
See also: Community Skeletons strategy

This Halloween map features pumpkin bombs, and Halloween pumpkins; see Community Halloween maps strategy.

  • Attack only those Skeletons that chase your team; waste no fire on them otherwise. Take your freeshots at any enemy trying to fight off Skeletons.

Mid to End game it would not be wise to pre-build at spawn before moving your gear up to the battlefield, your buildings can easily be taken out by the enemy team due to the open spawn area, even if you have a Level 3 Sentry Gun up, it can easily be peaked and it's rockets would take too long to reach their target.

If you have the Invis Watch or Cloak and Dagger try to take advantage of the enemy team retreating from the point when the Cauldron is about to rain it's Fireballs to come behind them then wait as they are about to go back in.
