Despite this perception, the Spy can still be incredibly effective and of great benefit to his team. Using his cloak and disguises, he can infiltrate and move around the enemy team safely, often targeting high value classes such as [[Engineers]], [[Medics]], [[Snipers]], and [[Heavies]]. However, backstabbing other classes when possible is still helpful, and hard focusing high value classes is not recommended. The Spy usually decloaks around corners or deep into the enemy backline in order to mitigate the sound created when decloaking and minimize the risk of an enemy seeing them uncloak. In addition, Spy often attacks and targets enemy [[Engineers]], as well as their sentry nests to make holding an area more difficult or to slow down the enemy team. Through these tactics, Spy can cripple an enemy team, preventing them from having helpful buildings, limiting their healing, stunting their momentum, and inciting paranoia and frustration from repeated stabs. Spy's gameplay is incredibly reliant on skills like gamesense, and often requires precise and creative movement to avoid bumping into enemy players, observation skills to spot fallen weapons for cloak, good aim to gun down enemies, and good timing to ensure enemy players are as distracted and unaware as possible for the best chances of a backstab. One good example would be to wait for a [[Heavy]] to be revved and shooting at the enemy team before attempting to stab him. Spy players often find enjoyment in the intricacy of his gameplay, the satisfaction of getting an impactful or difficult backstab, and, in some cases, the feel of outsmarting an enemy. | Despite this perception, the Spy can still be incredibly effective and of great benefit to his team.

* The French dub also brings in the possibility of Spy having a little sister in a response line related to Dominations perpetrated on a Soldier by a Spy. A strange oddity told as a taunt unique to this dub that was never given further context, much like most of Spy's personnal life. | * The French dub also brings in the possibility of Spy having a little sister in a response line related to Dominations perpetrated on a Soldier by a Spy.
