He is a generalist [[Classes#Defense\|defense class]] with powerful explosives and mobility options by the dozen.

	He specializes in explosives and has a wide range of weaponry involving them, such as a grenade launcher that can fire fast-moving grenade projectiles (often referred to as ''pills'' or ''pipes'') that deal high amounts of damage in large areas, a mine layer that lays mines on walls, floors or ceilings catching his enemies by surprise, or a grenade launcher referred to as "~~The~~ [[Cyclops]]" that fires EMP grenade projectiles that can detonate instaneously upon him letting go of the trigger. This makes the Demoman a defensive powerhouse, with many mobility options and explosive weapons making him one of the best generalist classes in the entire game next to the [[Soldier]].

	His most iconic mobility option is his sticky jump, where he uses his Stickybomb Launcher to exploit the self-damage and self-knockback aspects of his spiked bombs (referred to as ''stickies'') to propel himself across great distances in any direction, with further stickies fired beneath him allowing for further velocity. However, since he doesn't have the same explosive damage resistance to these stickies as the Soldier, ambitious jumps may lead to immediate death.

	The '''Demoman''' is a [[~~Classes#Defense~~\|~~defensive class~~]] ~~who specializes in explosive area denial, lethal burst damage, and destruction of enemy encampments. He has 175 health and 93% speed~~, ~~which makes him slightly tankier and slower than normal. His ability to deal massive damage on direct hits with the~~ [[~~Grenade Launcher~~]]~~, combined~~ with ~~the splash damage of its indirect fire, makes him excellent at denying enemies the ability to fortify~~ a ~~position~~. ~~This~~ is ~~bolstered by the [[Stickybomb Launcher\|Stickybomb Launcher's]] ability to lay down traps that can blow up any enemy who steps close to them, as well as acting as~~ a ~~potent offensive option against enemies who don't respect the Demoman's space. Stickybombs are also the greatest existential threat to an~~ [[~~Engineer]] encampment, who will find his buildings immediately destroyed if he does not kill the Demoman. He also has the ability to [[Jumping~~\|~~sticky jump~~]] into battle at the cost of a great deal of health, which also provides an escape option if the scenario itself gets sticky. These traits mean that the Demoman has the ability to totally deny an area from enemy assault, as well as denying enemies the ability to fortify their own defenses, making him both an offensive and ~~defensive powerhouse depending on~~ the ~~situation~~.		The '''Demoman''' is a demolitions expert and a self-described "Black Scottish Cyclops" from [[w:Ullapool\|Ullapool]], [[w:Scotland\|Scotland]] with a fascination for all things explosive and a fierce temper. He is a generalist [[Classes#Defense\|defense class]] with powerful explosives and mobility options by the dozen.

	~~The Demoman's biggest downsides are his weakness~~ in ~~close-~~range ~~combat, his slow reload speed, his reliance on his teammates to destroy enemy buildings, and necessity~~ of ~~predicting enemy movement. While the Demoman deals very good damage~~, ~~he does not have any sort of hitscan option, which means his only ways~~ to ~~attack an enemy are to land direct grenade hits,~~ or hope they run into his stickybombs. This makes him especially vulnerable to [[Scout\|Scouts]] and [[Pyro\|Pyros]], who will overwhelm him at close range and make it hard to get clean shots on them. This is amplified by his slow reload speed, which gives him a lot of ~~downtime once his grenades and stickies are used up, and catching him off-guard is an easy kill. This is also amplified by his slow walking speed, being the 3rd slowest~~ in ~~the game~~, ~~meaning running away isn't usually~~ a ~~good option either. Sticky-jumping is an option too, but unless he has the health to survive the blast and fall~~, ~~he may end up blowing up himself~~ or ~~breaking~~ his ~~own legs. While he is exceptional at destroying enemy buildings~~, a ~~[[Sentry Gun]] will usually be positioned in such a way where his weapons are too far away to reach, or will simply kill the Demoman first. This means he needs his teammates~~ to ~~make space, such~~ as ~~with an~~ [[~~ÜberCharge~~]]~~, or an overhealed [[Heavy]] tanking~~ the ~~damage~~. ~~And finally, no matter how good a player is, they cannot hit all their grenades all the time. Sometimes they will simply miss, and when~~ the Demoman ~~misses~~, ~~he usually dies.~~		He specializes in explosives and has a wide range of weaponry involving them, such as a grenade launcher that can fire fast-moving grenade projectiles (often referred to as ''pills'' or ''pipes'') that deal high amounts of damage in large areas, a mine layer that lays mines on walls, floors or ceilings catching his enemies by surprise, or a grenade launcher referred to as "The [[Cyclops]]" that fires EMP grenade projectiles that can detonate instaneously upon him letting go of the trigger. This makes the Demoman a defensive powerhouse, with many mobility options and explosive weapons making him one of the best generalist classes in the entire game next to the [[Soldier]].

	~~The Demoman's weaknesses are more than made up for~~ with ~~his strengths,~~ and ~~these attributes make~~ him ~~an extremely powerful class that is lethal in~~ the ~~hands of a skilled player. Even an unskilled player is still able to contribute through placing sticky traps~~ in ~~high-traffic areas, getting free kills on unaware enemies. On offense,~~ the ~~Demoman is able~~ to ~~clear through groups of enemies with his splash damage, and is~~ the go-to class in case of an Engineer infestation. On defense, he is able to wall out enemies by creating webs of stickybombs that will explode anyone who crosses, as well as spamming out a single area to prevent enemies from pushing. While he requires a good bit of skill to use effectively, he is an ideal class for people who are interested in fat damage, high-skill shots, and blatantly unfair kills, and is an asset to any team interested in winning the game.

			His most iconic mobility option is his sticky jump, where he uses his Stickybomb Launcher to exploit the self-damage and self-knockback aspects of his spiked bombs (referred to as ''stickies'') to propel himself across great distances in any direction, with further stickies fired beneath him allowing for further velocity. However, since he doesn't have the same explosive damage resistance to these stickies as the Soldier, ambitious jumps may lead to immediate death.
