Can you think of reasons why to Uber each class in the game?

Separate invulnerability and kritzkrieg when posting.~
(* means either "Can't think of a good reason" or "Not useful")
(** means "Good for destroying sentries")
Here's what I think:


Invulnerability Übercharge

• Scout -- Scattergun/FaN and Bat can do a lot of damage because the scout can get up close to enemies and not worry about death.
• Soldier -- Rocket launcher. **
• Pyro -- Pyros can ambush more people when invulnerable.
• Demoman -- **
• Heavy -- Unharmed while using Sasha/Natascha is a good deal.
• Engineer -- Can get passed enemy territory unharmed to create interesting back-teleports, sentries, and despensers.
• Medic -- Chain Übers, anyone?
• Sniper -- *
• Spy -- *

Kritzkrieg Übercharge

• Scout -- Scattergun/FaN does EVEN MORE damage, Pistol spam is more effective on enemies with full HP, and Bat swinging can kill pretty much every class in two hits except for the Heavy.
• Soldier -- Crit rocket~
• Pyro -- Critical flames eat up enemy HP very quickly.
• Demoman -- Grenades or stickies will all be critical, and will instakill pretty much every class (when direct hit) except for the Heavy.
• Heavy -- Has huge gun. Does many damage.
• Engineer -- *
• Medic -- *
• Sniper -- All shots are 100% charged for Sniper Rifle, making headshots only optional.
• Spy -- *

*Shrug*

 Pyros are one of the best classes for destroying sentry guns, even without uber. Though that does depend on the sentry placement.

Has anyone Ubered a cloaked Spy? If so, what happens?

kritz sniper eats medics for breakfast.






no im not joking.

 Can't because you can't heal cloaked spies.

Invulnerabilty:

• Because you want to kill a sentry real good.
• Because you want to kill a sentry or block a point capture
• Ditto
• Blocking point capture, because you want to kill a sentry and the 3 classes above aren't around (or are played by unreliable noobs)
• Allows engie to sit there and keep his sentry alive in the face of an uber heavy or solly.***
• Because you're about to die, and someone might as well get it. Appropriate if you have a crazy good scout who can take down a key class or a weakened sentry ***
• For lulz. Also, again, if you're about to die, someone might as well get it.
• Ditto
• Because you want to be a dick on a public server and do the medics with ubersaws trick

Kritz:

• Because you want maximum killing.
• Because you want to kill a ton of people (from long distance even)
• No reason. His flame is only effective up close, at which point he doesn't really need your kritz that much.
  
• Maximum killing power (especially if there's another key class you want to kill, like the enemy medic).
• No reason, unless you're going to die anyway, and you want to take some of them with you.
• If it's a small space, and the scout's speed wont pull him out of range of your beam, could be effective for killing.
• For lulz. Kritz'd SMG for the win!
• Ditto
• No good reason.

*** = not recommended, except for emergencies/lulz

Lady, critical hits don't do any additional damage for sentries. That said, sometimes if the engy is tanking his sentry gun, critical explosives are a good way to dislodge him.

Crit stickies especially, as the blast radius for sticky and rocket explosions behaves differently:

Rocket explosions can be blocked by buildables/players; if you hit the sentry on the non-engineer side, the sentry will block the explosion and the engy won't take any damage.

Sticky explosions go through buildables and players (though not map obstacles), so the engy would take damage as if the sentry wasn't there.

That was a lazy copy+paste error on my part. I meant to take out the part about the sentry in the kritz section

Ah, ok. I was kinda surprised that you didn't know that! So that makes more sense.
