Waddle more; soldier is one of the strongest DM classes in the game and in highlander this shows in good players. Farm easy frags on the flank, dont just jump in like a retard at a heavy/pyro/medic clump.

If must bomb, do it from an unconventional position or at a time when the enemy team is distracted (work with your spy, both go for med at the same time).

HL soldier isn't much like 6s roamer except for the fact that you often use gunboats.

Borneo is one of the best soldier maps in highlander. Play the flank and take as many 1v1s as possible in the tight corridors of second and third point. Abuse your mobility to never stay in exactly the same place. If the combo comes for you, just call it out and run away; there is no use dying to a 450 heavy.

Being 1 of 2 explosive classes in HL, your life isn't as dispensable, so your role is a lot more passive overall. Try focusing on spamming and outputting as much damage as you can on their team without dying. Listen to comms for when you really need to go in an die, and avoid unnecessary trades otherwise.

Oh Aegis I sent you a demo for your stream btw

Play with your flank. Your spy buddy can be a huge help if you guys have good chemistry. On my latest HL teams as soldier, both V3 and The Experiment (also on the nations cup) the Spy was probably the player I had more chemistry with, coordinating with calls, distraction, bombs, or just getting out of situations you should have died. This can be different for other Soldiers but I feel I gained a lot from working with my spy.

You don't really need more heals, you can get packs, and also, you will be stealing precious heal from your combo classes if you do so. Of course before a coordinated bomb or something its always useful to ask for a full buff but dont pester your medic just because you're dying a lot.

Abuse unlocks. Seriously, HL has so much margin for using unlocks to a very efficient degree (DH against sentries or even when you aren't able to get space to spam freely) , (Concheror for a more sustainable but passive play), etc...

Also dont die mindlessly, Soldier has a huge spamming potential, specially in HL with 9 players. There's so much easy damage to farm, a lot of the times is just best to use secure passive positions to spam out enemies instead of jumping in and dying.

That's some of the stuff I can remember. Since I also transitioned from Roamer to HL Soldier (used to play demo).

I've barely played highlander but it always seems easier to pick off flank players like scouts and spies and take out sentries. Also if you can get behind picking snipers that are out of position often seems better than going for forces on meds because you have a minigun and airblasts to contend with and highlander ubers seem to be harder to do things with anyway.

go flank, kill flank, then spam till flank respawns, repeat
