Zombie Soldier

Speed: 259 HU/s (86.3% base TF2 speed) Damage: 208

The Disciplinary Action is banned and unable to be used.

Pros

• Access to the Half-Zatoichi - for longer distance melees

• Smaller hitbox via enzyme should mean you're getting shot less

Cons

• Second-slowest Zombie Class

• Enzyme Gimmick overshadowed by other Zombie Classes.

As a Zombie the Soldier doesn't really offer anything at all on initial glance - the only 'gimmick' he has is the Half-Zatoichi to oneshot any human Demomen or Soldiers using them.

The Soldier Enzyme simply has one function - and that's shrinking your player model for (10 seconds) before wearing out. This can be used to mitigate vents or crouching areas outright by just running through them with smaller size before Humans can react and shoot you.

With bhop mechanics having been added, Soldier usually can mitigate themself being hilariously slow and land a zatoichi extra sword-range melee to infect overdefenders. Zombie Sniper fits a very similar niche here in that - but won't have the extra melee range and they tend to get knocked back harder due to vulnerability on the bushwacka.
