The Soldier is a devastating, bulky predator who has an above average amount of health and is capable of effective attacks from any range. While slow on foot, the Soldier is known for his trademark rocket jumping ability which allows experienced players to quickly move around a map and reach high areas at a cost of self-inflicted damage. Generally, the best way to engage a Soldier is in an open area where you can avoid his rockets and counterattack. The Soldier is also disadvantaged when he has the lower ground in a battle, if he is forced to fire his rockets at uphill angles, it will limit and or eliminate his ability to deal splash damage depending on his opponents positioning. Keep in mind that the Soldier has a number of different loadout options that allow him to give offensive and defensive buffs to teammates, heal himself, and wield the most dangerous melee weapon in the game if his health is low enough.

Weapon Specific
A list of useful tidbits about the Soldier's tools, and how to counter them.
Primary Weapons
- Rockets, with the exception of those from the Direct Hit and Liberty Launcher, move slowly. Try to dodge them by strafing and jumping or use a Compression blast.

Banners
- Killing the Soldier using a banner buff will end the effect immediately.
- A buffed Soldier needs to stay within range of his team while buffed to benefit them the most, making splash damage and other attacks affecting multiple enemies, such as Jarate or the Flamethrower, incredibly effective.
- Soldiers will often make a quick retreat in search of their team when they have a full charge. If you see this happen, give chase.
- Soldiers using a banner lack a mid-range weapon. Stay close enough to ensure that they will take self-damage from rockets but far away enough to avoid the rockets.
