Engineer

Classes which excel at beating Engineers

Demoman

• Main advantage: Engineer's deadliest tool is his Sentry Gun, which is an immensely powerful and a deadly machine, capable of quickly disposing of any enemies which enter its line of sight. Duo to the risk Sentries pose, one needs to deal with them without putting himself in danger, this is most effectively done by explosives. Explosives are a preferable way of dealing with Sentries for a couple of reason: 1. Explosives are a burst type of damage, meaning that they are very effective in utilizing the corner peek strategy (Explained down below). 2. Explosives also deal splash damage, this allows them to damage both the Sentry Gun, the Engineer repairing it, and Engineer's other Buildings if they happen to be close by. 3. Duo to their splash damage, Explosives often won't need a direct line of sight to the Sentry in order to effectively damage it, allowing the attacker to safely keep from the harms way of Sentry's bullets. 4. Explosives are usually projectiles, which is a big weakness for them considering that in most cases, projectiles are harder to aim then bullets because of their travel time. However, this drawback is negated by the fact that buildings are stationary targets, making them easy to hit all around. As one can see, if you want to beat Engineers and their machines, you better bring a lot of explosives with you. Luckily for the Demoman, he is filled with explosives. His primary weapon fires explosives, his secondary does the same and even one of his melee weapons is an explosive (The Ullapool Caber). In total, he has 12 explosive bombs, loaded and ready to go at all times, thus giving Demoman more then enough ammo to literally, destroy any Sentry nests he comes across.

• Strategy: Demoman should obviously use the power of his explosives to try and destroy enemy Engineer's buildings, especially targeting Sentry Guns as they act as a huge road block to his team. They are multiple ways to approach and destroy each individual Sentry nest, an experienced Demoman will realize when each and everyone one of this methods should be applied.
  • Corner Peeking: As the name suggests, corner peeking is an act of popping out of the corner you were hiding in, shooting the enemy Sentry before it turns around to target you, then quickly backing up behind the said corner before the Sentry Gun can do meaningful damage to you. This is very effective since the Sentry Gun deals sustained damage, meaning that it will need to have you in its sights for some time in order to seriously hurt you, this is duo to its high fire rate, but low bullet damage. Meanwhile, you (the Demoman) are equipped with weapons which deals burst damage, meaning that you need to establish line of sight with the enemy Sentry for only a split second, in order to fire your high-damage projectile before quickly ducking behind safe cover. This method should be used when there is a Sentry Gun right around the corner, you can then use your Grenade Launcher or any other primary, to corner peek the Sentry so that you can safely destroy it.
  • Out-ranging: Sentry Guns have limited range and won't be able to see/target anything outside of the a specific distance (1100 Hammer Units). While any class can take advantage of this drawback in order to "spam out" the Sentry while it is not capable of seeing its attacker, the Demoman is particularly effective at making use of this advantage. Demoman can either use his Grenade Launcher for this task considering that it has no damage fall off, or he can use the StickyBomb Launcher which has a large clip size and also no damage fall off (After 5 seconds of the Stickybomb being fired). No matter what weapon the Demoman uses, he can transform him self into a long range artillery, one which can rain down hell on any unfortunate Sentry nests using his large ammo pool, while its projectiles don't suffer from losing their lethality over distance (Unlike many other weapons do).

Spy

Pyro

Pyro is obviously the best class at dealing with spy.

Demoman

solely up here due to demoknight absolutely annhilating spy

Classes which are mediocre at fighting Spies

Soldier

blast radius, usually moving and airborne so hard to hit

Scout

very fast, too fast to backstab btw, mad milk, bleed weapons,

Classes which are relatively incapable of dealing with Spies

Sniper

despite being pretty hard countered, gets a wide variety of weapons that deter spies, such as: Classic, Huntsman, Razorback, Jarate, Tribalman's Shiv, Bushwacka. Also, SMG's can be used to sweep an area for invisible spies.

Heavy

Slow, but high fire rate means hard for spy to hide usually not focused on spycheck tho

Classes which are immensely inefficient at battling with Spies

Medic

definitely not good at dealing with spy

Engineer

engineer is NOT good at dealing with Spy

Spy

It is not Spy's job to deal with each other. You're not killing the spy most likely, but they probably aren't killing you
