    I've recently been trying to improve as a medic. I use this class mainly for capping and support. I know the fundamentals of the class, but I was wondering if you guys had any advanced tips that correspond with medic. I would greatly appreciate it if you guys could give me some advanced insight. c:

    Communicate with another team member, and follow him/her into the enemy flag room (constantly healing) to steal the flag.
    You can also help teammates that our holding the flag by stopping assassins/ninjas using the webs.

    Just some tips off the top of my head.

    Medic isn't that strong when it comes to fighting, but pretty decent at capping and great at support. When capping, try to web all the defenders and just run. You have regen, so don't use steak unless you absolutely need to. With support, heal quickly, then use webs and your sword to fend of recoverers. Try using yourself as a shield.

    @JaydenChadd Medic has a cooldown on heal.

    Finally my time to shine.

    As an archer, you are able to attack from long range but are weak at close combat. It is important that you choose a good spot where you have good visibility. A defense archer should be placed somewhere where they can easily snipe the escape route of the offensive team. This could be a tree, a nearby building placed at a distance or some other spot that you think is good. Offense is a bit tricky, as you are weak to rush to get the flag and escape alive. Instead, be placed somewhere near the enemies flag an aid as a support to clear out the defense and attack anyone who is trying to recover the flag. Most archers are campers by nature, and being repeatedly sniped from the same spot can lead the enemies to ambush attack on you without you even knowing. I only use the same spot 2-4 times after I die before I move on. This brings me to another topic and that is to be constantly on the move. Try to move around and pressure them but don't get caught, I usually try to camouflage by crouching or standing next to a stone brick structure so I can blend in easier. Some maps are harder to camouflage and so you will have to learn how to snipe in the open. When you snipe from the open, chances are you are being locked on by an enemy sniper, so it is important to take those from long range first so they don't become a problem. Jump around if you have to, this makes it harder for them to get a good shot on you. Bunny hop around. Since you are attacking from long distance, nobody is just afking in one spot. The longer they are the longer the time it will take for your arrow to reach the player, so you have to guess and shoot. Aim in front of the player, the distance between your aim and the players current position will be longer the more you guys are far apart. That's all I have.

    If on defense, I would suggest pushing anyone from the other team into a corner so it's more difficult to run

    then again, that would work anywhere ¯\_(ツ)_/
    and its kinda obvious but whatever xD

    As furthest said, it is very important to Web and slow down attackers to buy time for you to regen. Also, try to not use steaks as much as possible.

    When you're escaping with the flag and you are gonna use a sponge, web the sponge after you go on and it will slow down the other team

    Medic tips:
    1. People right on your tail? While you're running, jump and shoot a web at the ground at the same time. That's best when you don't have time to turn around and shoot them directly.
    2. When defending, make sure to web the flag when you see an enemy approaching. That way, there's a chance the enemy would get stuck in the web trying to cap, giving your fellow defenders an easier time.
    3. When healing always make sure to hit your teammates even if they seem to have full health.
    4. When a flag carrier approaches you, make sure that healing the flag carrier is your biggest priority.
    5. When you steal the flag, block the way you just left the flagroom completely to delay enemies.
    6. Another web tip: make sure you don't give out your personal information or credit card number to random people! :grinning:

    I tend to just barge through. People don't expect heavy-assault tactics from medics. I feel that it works.

    K den,
    1. MLG COBWEB :grinning:, mlg cobweb is the way if you jump from a high place you trow a cobweb on the ground so you don't get fall damage (if you are pro with it just right click your snowball one time, not pro multiple times :stuck_out_tongue:.
    2. NINJA TRAP :grinning:DD, (I didn't know this before this week started) if you are running from a ninja and you are jump running, just trow a snowball right beneath you.
    3. HEALING FLAG CARRIERS, (I think this is really hard xDD) don't heal the flag carrier before he asks/under 85%, if you heal him on 100% you get a 15 seconds cooldown, if a ninja or something comes after you healed him he's basically dead.
    4. Trowback Snowball aka Fishing Rod, if you are fighting with like a heavy and you want to kill him :stuck_out_tongue: trow a snowball so he gets punched back (kinda like people do with a fishing rod), punch away the snowball and hit the heavy (I think you have like 95% chance to get first hit).
    5. Fighting Chemists, if you are fighting a chemist try to get him in a cobweb with you ;3, if he's in the cobweb with you you will crit him every time, he trows heal pots which heal you too, this is the way to kill a chemist :grinning:

    this are my trick :grinning:

    i don't play medic often but i find that if you place webs where you would normally hit someone with a sword they will become trapped in the webs. it also seems to be more effective to place webs instead of throwing them.
