General
- Cover is substantially more common towards the edges of the map. Working your way from outside-in allows for greater protection and a possibly way to set up chokepoints with properly placed teammates.
Scout
- Make sure that there is an Engineer or Medic as health will be lost easily. The tight corners of this map make for almost assured surprises from the enemy team. Use the Pistol to chip away at their health from a safe distance if at all possible.
Soldier
- Given the opportunity, you can Rocket Jump onto the roofs of some buildings in Ravine. Use the advantage of the high ground to abuse the classes that cannot reach your position easily.
Pyro
- Stick to the edges as there is much more cover. This is also a good level for the Backburner as flanking opponents is common. Keep in mind, most flaming enemies will retreat to the water on the edges of the map. Take up a camping position to finish off weakened foes.
- Due to there being no Health Packs in this level, Make sure to defend the Engineers Sentry Gun (If there is one) so you may continue to replenish your Flamethrower fuel and health, and help teammates.
Demoman
- Staying away from Ravine's more open yard areas can allow you to guard the map's more cramped passageways easily. The indoors provide plenty of opportunities to lay down sticky bomb traps, and little room to avoid grenades.
Heavy
- For the first half of the round, staying near the open area near your team's spawn room can be advantageous, as the absence of cover in the region could prevent a serious push by enemies into your team's side. Pursuing enemies indoors will allow them to use Ravine's many corners against you.
Engineer
- Build a Dispenser and Sentry Gun directly outside of your spawn room, so teammates can come back and heal in safety.
Medic
- As with all Arena maps, any Medic on the team is priceless, particularly here as there are no health pickups. Stay away from any Pyro rush and dodge fire as you will be the most targeted player.
- Since Medic's are valuable on Ravine, try to stay with big groups of team mates, rather than just one.
Sniper
- While standing on the control point itself is often dangerous, looking through Ravine's central building can afford you a clear shot from one side of the map to the other.
Spy
- The winding paths of Ravine's indoor areas allow Spies to lose pursuers with ease. Dodging around a corner and cloaking to escape is often easier due to the winding nature of the area.
