Terrible Tactic (Two Needed) : The Texan Pocket Soldier
What happens when you give a Pomson 6000 a Kritzkrieg boost? Well, if you can land shots, you can obvioulsy rack up a lot of kills, but something I only just recently found out is that if you land the shot toward the lower half of the enemy, assuming they live, the knockback on it is INSANE with a kritz boost, potentially even more than the force a nature or the soldier and demoman's explosives.

Messing around with it in tr_walkway was pretty fun as well, seeing an engineer just juggle people around like that. (For those that want to try this out offline, you can do this yourself in a bot match or tr_walkway using sv_cheats and the command "addcond 11")

Note that the crit deals 180 damage, so it will kill most light classes. In testing, Heavies didn't seem to get juggled very far, but soldiers got sent flying with this combo, so I would imagine any lighter class that is overhealed would fall victim to this just as hard if not harder.

If you shoot the pomson to someone's feet, he will fly
Pomson 6000 was my first drop, so I learnt a lot :p

@Dei I've been playing for a few years now and didn't know about this. I sorta knew it had some knockback, but never bothered to test it out like that. The crit can also help crater rocket jumping soldiers / demomen if you can hit them out of the air. (Even a Righteous Bison crit can send someone already airborne on a completely different trajectory, but it isn't anything compared to what the Pomson can do.)
Unfortunately this feature was removed in a not-so-recent patch. The Pomson and the Bison no longer knock enemies airborne.
