When would someone Uber a Sniper, Medic, Spy, or Engineer?

[Fivzie🌕]

Like, it's possible, but why would an uber be wasted on these classes?

Any good strat with'em or.... ?

Engineer with widowmaker is a worthy uber target

People usually do it just to mess around and get some dumb kills.

Engineer with Widowmaker, as well as an engineer with the Frontier Justice and revenge crits, perhaps a spy with the Diamond Back that has crits stored up, but a sniper? Maybe if they have that knife that crits when it would mini crit and throw jarate at enemies. A medic, however, would only maybe work if you were a battle medic or had the quick fix and wanted to get your team to full health immediately.

Well I have several explanations for that.

Engineers with Widowmaker or Frontier Justice with Revenge Crits are of course very strong uber targets.

Medics are great to be ubered if you can chain uber with the Ubersaw, allowing for theoretically infinite uber.

Snipers aren't that great for regular uber, but is a menace with Kritzkrieg or Vaccinator uber, one for 450 damage bodyshots, one for practically enemy Sniper immunity.

Spies can be ubered when trying to sap a ton of buildings at once when the Spy would be killed otherwise. Also Diamondback crits are painful.

Or maybe you can just use uber on anyone when cornered.

Isn't that only krits?

It also wouldn't be a bad choice for uber. Most class can't fire their weapon for 8 seconds straight, and the ones that can are either impeded by range or mobility (Heavy and Pyro).

Demoman is the best choice for uber, but there might be a circumstance where the enemy Pyro denies him more than they would an engineer, who fires a weapon they can't reflect.

If you want an uber that is laser focused on killing the pyro and taking down a sentry, windowmaker engineer might be a solid choice.

They aren't combat classes, so ubering them is usually a waste save for a few niche scenarios.

For Sniper, the Vaccinator is the best option because you basically become immune to headshots and you don't need to waste your entire uber. Stock and QF ubers are a complete waste. The Kritzkrieg could be used for cheeky bodyshot kills if you want to meme but otherwise it's also a waste because of Sniper's lack of survivability.

There is no reason to ever use the Kritz uber on another Medic. Any other uber will generally be a waste unless the other Medic needs to live just long enough to use his own, and even then you're still burning your own uber when it could be used on another teammate. Overheal is usually all an allied Medic needs if he's doing well.

There is no reason to intentionally uber an Engineer unless it's to meme. His Sentry and Dispenser are more than enough for him to act independently and his Sentry will do a better job at protecting you than himself.

There is no reason to ever intentionally uber a Spy except to meme. It makes him stand out and he doesn't have the firepower to make the uber impactful besides cheeky 120 potshots from across the map.

I'm the type to uber any teammate no matter the class if they need it, obviously prioritize power classes and give it to whoever's ready and asks for it, but it can also save our asses to escape from a tight spot. I once got ubered right after using jarate so I pulled out the bushwacka and got 3 kills in a row thanks to a panicked medic (unexpected but fun as hell). If you're doing good no uber is '"wasted" and there are ways to build it fast.

Also ubering a medic with the ubersaw = infite uber lmao

[Kitt 🌟 Stargazer]

A Good Widowmaker Engineer is scary with either uber or kritzkreig...

The rest are probably a waste unless it's of the following situations:
1. Keeping them alive
2. Pooped uber with no other patients

When someone intentionally Ubers an offclass, you kick them

[Exoltrix but with the L]

uber sniper fricking never, uber medic if u guys are uber chaining, uber spy if they are a god teir gunspy, uber a engie if they are playing battle engie/ wepons they should use if u wanna uber them would be,widowmaker or u have losta crits for frontier, pistol or short, any wrench but i advise u use gunslinger.

[painainus]

Ubering Spy with Stock Revolver with Kritz could be fun

[Hell-met]

most of these are slept upon

[Sharkster_00]

To mess around but I did use to do that when I first played in 2017 until I learned that it’s better to do it on Heavy, Scout, heavy,Demo, and Engineer

[tewister]

Sniper: Jarate + Bushwaka/ Huntsman Snipers

Another medic: Ubersaw Medics

Spy: Ambassador Spies

Engineer: Widowmaker + Short circuit Engies

This should help.
