Theatre's TF2 Soldier Holliday

Lane
thinned out my lane items cuz i think we can get away with it and we want to hit Rapid Recharge + HMC power spike quickly
CORE
after we've got that core dive->kill threat online we can flesh it out with spirit lifesteal and cdr and stuff, buy order can change if you want damage (Torment Pulse especially) more than you want sustain (spirit lifesteal)
choices for after Core is complete (it's a situational call)
Tech:
Use Fleetfoot to Heavy Melee Cancel for jump pad stomp speed/range/control
You can also dash right after jump pad to cancel vertical momentum and land faster
Dashing backwards right after jump pad can be good for fighting defensively
IF YOU PUNCH BARRELS WHILE YOU ARE MIDAIR, THEY ARM IMMEDIATELY
Use this to jump>barrel>melee (downward) to insta explode barrels at close range, this is our absolute bread and butter
Spam it like hell when you're close to someone
Use pad + HMC to get close in the first place
Don't waste your time/barrels trying to land mid-range barrels most of the time (maybe sometimes)
Don't forget to use your lasso where appropriate
Feel free to buy Warp Stone so you can fling people ridiculous distances (if you Warp Stone right at the end of your ult) but imo you should focus on the aggressive stomp->barrel life
Oh yeah you can Jump during jump pad to make your trajectory lower and faster at the cost of 1 stamina, can be super important situationally
Also lets you cancel into a fast-fall more quickly.

Holliday Build Description
Holliday is basically TF2 soldier. Gun Holliday is bait. Heavy Melee Cancel is the way, the truth and the light. Also I wrote some tech explanation at the bottom of the guide.
