I've found that the Persian Persuader and tide turner go well together since the PP has a relatively quick charge recharge and tide turner returns charge on charge kills, so one can charge around the map like a lunatic. I also throw in the ali baba booties (really ought to get some bootleggers to complete my demo's pirate costume) because who needs grenades!? Good times.

Tell me your secrets.

Use your sword to charge and kill people in close range, use your pipe bombs to kill people not in close range.

Basically this. Demoknight is lethal if played right - catch heavies unaware, kill sentries from around corners, and outrun spies. Ram into people and steal their heads.

[Leafsnail]

The best way to help your team as a Demoknight is to murder enemy medics as much as possible.  It's a pick class, much like Sniper, and the main advantage is that you can charge round a corner towards the source of a medi-beam and take it out without getting a direct line of sight.

Pretty sure when Ster said that he was joking

I just play Demoknight like I would play soldier, as a up front fighting class except with pipe bombs that can be used for indirect attacks as well as direct hits. Pipe bomb direct hits have crazy splash damage that can kill groups of most classes in two to three shots. Gotten tons of multi-kills by just lobbing pipe bombs towards the cart while lots of people were pushing it.

I love my grenade launcher.

[Leafsnail]

Isn't that the whole point of the charging part?  You are able to suddenly deal a massive amount of damage to one player.  What else are you gonna use that for?

[MaximumZero]

I mostly use it for point blank attacks or area denial, given that I use the splendid screen (max charge damage at any range). I usually hit with a pipe bomb as they're falling to get the kill and move on. I melee the pain train for quickly pushing carts and capping points.

[Shadowlord]

What is this pipe bomb of which you speak?

More often than not, you'd use the charge as an escape tool. Is a soldier bombing in on you? Did a heavy just jump rev around a corner at you? Are two scouts about to run you over? Just turn around and CHARGE outta there. For the span of about a second and a half, you're the fastest class in the game, and you can remove yourself from situations that would ordinarily be unavoidably lethal.

[Leafsnail]

I guess you can do that, it's just that's a lot less fun than running in and removing heads

One other thing, if you happen to learn an arcane art known as 'trimping' then you can do some of the coolest stunts in TF2. I referenced a guy earlier named Craylash as a 'hero of spuf', his other pseudonym is Ireima, and he routinely does shit like this.

[WealthyRadish]

Oh man, blood gulch in TF2? I mean, seems like it would be awful in a game with no vehicles, but that's funny.
