The thing about demoknight bots being able to make use of the melee range increase while charging isn't impossible to recreate as demoknight. It is actually really easy it's just charge when you are using a melee swing so the charge starts while your melee attack is still able to deal damage so it, M1+ a charge almost immediately after hitting M1 and your charge won't get canceled out by the attack and you get the full usage of the extended melee range. Should I include it in the Demoman part?

The spy tips say "Whichever disguise you decide to use is largely irrelevant", then goes on to suggest pyro or engy. If disguise doesn't matter, wouldn't scout always be the best option, since it gives a speed boost?

== Scout tips ==
 
 
 
There are some major flaws in the scout tips:
 
 
 
:"consider dumping all your money into resistances and move speed and using a bat or Frying Pan"
 
 
 
::Melee is never a good idea in MvM, and a scout who doesn't use the Fan O'War is just a bad scout. Also resistences are pretty expensive in the beginning, milk and speed / jump upgrades are more important and cheaper. You can dodge projectiles, so later you should prefer bullet resistences.
 
 
 
:"The Special Delivery item set can be very useful because of the +25 health effect."
 
 
 
::A scout not using the Fan O'War for marking is a bad scout, the health bonus is negligible.
 
 
 
:"Once upgraded, a hit from the Sandman's ball marks a robot for death like the Fan O'War, meaning the robot will take mini-crits from your friends' weapons."
 
 
 
::The upgrade costs 500 credits, which is VERY expensive. And marking with balls doesn't work as reliable as marking with the Fan O'War. The 15 hitpoints less are a major downside. Sandman doesn't stun robots, so it's by far not as useful as in PvP. It's an expensive toy, costing your team the game at least in expert.
 
 
 
:"Using Bonk! Atomic Punch can allow you to serve as a distraction for giant bots, as well as grab credits without fear of being blasted to oblivion."
 
 
 
::A scout without milk is useless. Slowdown via milking is one of the most important jobs of the scout. Milk upgrades have priority.
 
 
 
:"As a Scout, you are usually the only one that can catch up to Scout Robots early in the mission."
 
 
 
::If scout robots slip through your defense, your defense is bad and you will fail anyway. The scout doesn't have enough damage output to deal with more than one or two already damaged scout robots.
 
 
 
One more tip for the scattergun, which is the best primary in my opinion: Don't upgrade it unless you've fully upgraded your milk, speed, jumping and perhaps resistences. And because of the big clip size it's the better choice compared to the Force-A-Nature; you will tend to spend some money in your clipsize with the latter, which isn't needed for the scattergun. --[[User:Ohpleez|Ohpleez]] 03:28, 28 November 2012 (PST)

The melee range increased when charging as demoman

The thing about demoknight bots being able to make use of the melee range increase while charging isn't impossible to recreate as demoknight. It is actually really easy it's just charge when you are using a melee swing so the charge starts while your melee attack is still able to deal damage so it, M1+ a charge almost immediately after hitting M1 and your charge won't get canceled out by the attack and you get the full usage of the extended melee range. Should I include it in the Demoman part?
