The Demoman is a unique class whose strategy depends on his loadout. With above average health and devastating weaponry, the Demoman is generally best engaged up close due to the nature of his weapons. While powerful, the Demoman's weapons have less accuracy than other classes' and up close he is usually vulnerable. Alternatively, a Demoman can charge around the battlefield with a variety of dangerous melee weapons and a shield which reduces damage. Therefore, the best way to engage a Demoman is to see what loadout he has and change your tactics accordingly.
