'''Chain Über''' is a tag team technique that allows two [[Medic]] players, equipped with the [[Ubersaw]] and [[Medigun]], to maintain a constant state of invulnerability.
 
 
 
To be successfully performed, one player must have built an [[ÜberCharge]] up prior to the start of the technique. The first player must then deploy their charge on the second, who in turn must use their Übersaw to attack enemy players and subsequently fill their own Übercharge meter. Once it is ready, thew second player must then quickly deploy the ÜberCharge to the first Medic, who in turn must repeat the same action once they have built the charge with their Ubersaw. If fluidly executed, both Medics can remain invulnerable for extended periods of time whilst killing a multitude of enemies..
 
 
 
The technique requires considerable communication between the two Medics. Both should be aware of the status of both Ubercharges in order to continue the chaining uninterrupted, as well as when to break off the chain strategically.
 
 
 
Chain Über can be an effective strategy for clearing a certain area of enemies, pushing through a strong defense or heading off an incoming attack. It is less effective, however, against [[buildings]] or for completing certain objectives such as capturing a [[Capture Points|point]]. The chain can be easily broken by [[Pyro]]s utilising the [[Compression Blast|Airblast]] ability to separate the Medics, or with [[Scout]]s luring the chain into chasing them and wasting time. The attacking Medic, though, is not limited to using his [[Syringe Gun]] or [[Blutsauger]] to fend such classes off. Slower classes are a priority for the chain, as the Medics can easily reach and attack them.
 
 
 
Should the chain be broken, both Medics should escape the area and regroup later with another Ubercharge ready.
