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 teammates to survive. Medics are the highest priority target on the battlefield due to their ability to heal teammates and deploy ÜberCharges, which grant invulnerability, 100% critical chance or a powerful healing buff for eight seconds. Due to their limited armament, most Medics will flee if they don't have any teammates around for protection. While a low threat by himself, the Medic's ability to overheal his teammates presents a substantial threat to an isolated player and skilled Medics are capable of holding their own if the conditions are right. Nevertheless, it is generally a good idea to kill Medics at any cost, including your own life, as their loss will affect their team far more than your death will affect your team.

A list of useful tidbits about the Medic's tools, and how to counter them.
Primary weapons
- Needles fired from Syringe Guns are individually weak, but can quickly stack up for huge amounts of damage. Try to avoid as many as possible.
- Needles fired from Syringe Guns are slow to travel and arc significantly. Keeping your distance can make dodging easy.
- Needles are particularly designed for dispatching attackers who are trying to catch the Medic while he's retreating than a direct combat weapon. Ambushing the Medic or using long-range weapons will work better than just rushing at him, thinking he's an easy kill.
