The Medic moves quickly and has a decent amount of health, but is poor at self-defense, requiring the protection of his healing partner and team to survive.

General

  • The Medic should always be top priority when considering whom to kill. A team without their Medic is at a severe disadvantage.
  • Medics should be isolated from their team or healing partner, where they are easily killed.
  • Medics should be the preferred target when attacking a Medic combo. The healing partner will shrug off most of your damage.
  • The connection a Medic has to his partner using Mediguns can be broken by separating the pair using various means.

Weapon Specific

A list of useful tidbits about the Medic's tools, and how to best counter them.

Crusader's Crossbow

  • The Crusader's Crossbow deals damage based on how far away the target is. Closing the distance will make it deal less damage.
  • The Crusader's Crossbow has a slow firing rate. Take advantage of this by countering between shots.
  • The bolts fired from this crossbow heal the Medic's allies. Consider taking a shot if it means denying someone a quick heal.

Übersaw

  • Meleeing a Medic with the Übersaw should be last resort due to each hit giving him 25% Übercharge.

Vita-Saw

Amputator

  • The Amputator requires the Medic to taunt to heal his allies. This makes him an easy target, especially for enemy Snipers and Spies.
