What are your favorite operator strategies? 🤔

[@shivasdoce2665]

You had a massive mistake on your video Its on 10:15 The best strategy for Caveira is not picking this shitty useless operator and pick something better

[@elianmaes8447]

Chalet: Thatcher, and a smoke grenade on garaje door, someone plants in the smoke and the Thatcher use his grenades to desactivate c4s in mid air. The first time i tried i worked.

[@AX1D3NTPR0N3]

My favorite is Droning on Attack since no one uses them. Also on Defense actually making the right rotates and using the right reinforcements since no one knows how to..

[@buttnuts2599]

Ela mines on border breach runout. Pigeon does it alot

[@HolyMith]

Jaeger shotty on top red Kanal. Bring barb, put one on the lower flight of red stairs so you can't get snuck on. Put one in service and shotty footholes into the breach box room. Swing both barbs off of the melee sound and get some close range shotty action. ADS goes: 1. top of red to protect you, 2. on the left of the breach room double door, 3. behind the control panel leading into server. This Gets OP when you have a mute jammer top red. Major strengths are you can hold several entry points at once (red stairs, service, 90 window) all at close range. Drawbacks are peeks from 90 and a strong printer push. However, if they are neglecting red and you have decent intel, you can fall of and flank green stairs or printer.

[@AGC4]

best strategy with Lion is to obviously blow 1 scan right off the bat in the first 7 seconds to accomplish absolutely nothing for your team

[@Poxonlox]

Quality strat

[@mr.6934]

Even better strat is picking doc and only use it to heal yourself

[@Tom-oh2yf]

This also works for finka and dokkaebi too, then immediately do it again once cool down is up.

[@protagonist9794]

Ey don’t say that ! Points are Points 😤!

The best thing to do with Alibi is face her Prismas in any other direction than the direction the attackers will be coming from. If you put a Prisma facing behind from a window, that attacker will think that it's a dumb alibi and that they caught you off guard, where in reality it's a free ping.

[@_.sovern]

Listen here pal, if you play kali, you bring NOTHING to the team

[@puddingspy9837]

You pointed out a lot of things other creators just didn't, like the lacking of range from secondary Emp requires IQ's help to be as consistent as Thatcher. Too many people believe that there's no more reason to ban Thatcher since the introduction of the secondary emp. Turned out there is, you make enemy give up a set of secondary gadget slot and increase their surviving stake in the early round (3 men need to survive till hard-breach, which is neglectable only if you're breaching exterior walls)

[@keyshawncarpenter1166]

Tbh with the amount of strategies there are as defenders, idc about any walls being opened up. I don’t ban thatcher because it always seems as if the enemy team is a bunch of Navy SEALS with perfect communication while my team is a bunch of a** hats lol. Plus banning Iana cripples attackers more since everyone thinks this game is about kills.

[@puddingspy9837]

@@keyshawncarpenter1166 I don't prefer to ban Thatcher, either. I'm simply against the mindset of "No reason to ban Thatcher anymore since we have secondary emp."

[@louwie9687]

I know its your list of course.... But the Kapkan strat on border is also very good. People walk in those traps all the time because not everything looks like a doorway upstairs, while still being able to be used for Kapkan traps.

[@cnner1997]

3:33 Ain't no way he fell for that 💀

[@hunter_whitt_0353]

Another good strat I found with thorn is using razor wire on windows and putting razors blooms in the barbed wire or behind where the enemy’s just into it works great on theme park bc there’s so many windows on armory sight and works better with frost mats of course

[@elderscrollslad3062]

[@elissaharr]

I like these as solo que strategies or if you’re not overly coordinated l. I think a lot of the lower strats (like daddy tachanka) could be different and higher with a full team

[@benjaminhinrichs9795]

Huge thorn tip I think I discovered, putting her trap in soft floors by shooting out the top layer of the floor then placing a barb over it this also works great with melusi

[@naxor33]

Is the trap hitting an moving attaker through the softflore, where the top flor isnt opened?

[@benjaminhinrichs9795]

@@naxor33 yes and I think when you move away from it the indicator disappears

[@RickJay13]

Know I'm late, but a streamer shawk does this and has been for a while. Nice tip tho for those who didn't know it

[@x__KenKaneki__x]

Another tip for thunderbird is that if you pick up and replace the ability it reactivates without a cooldown

[@jasonmclee]

1 Lion strat me and my friend did back in the day was that 1 of us would go Fuze and we would time it so they ran from his nades while the Lion scan was active, doing so while positioned in a way where you can follow up easily with both operaters made it easier to predict where they were gonna run, donno if it still works but hey give it a try if u have a duo

[@dariansmith6167]

Ying on coastline kitchen bathroom site with a glaz and smokes is a elite strategy especially if you can get the Fuze from above to get the defenders really panicking once their blind

[@mikelandon4382]

And another think that can be tricky with bandit tricking is that you better pray that you team isn't being loud, and also the audio is actually working

Tachanka's best strategy is on Bank downstairs. Immediately run out into sewer with a clash and tachanka. Clash stuns while Tachanka spams 5 shots from his Shumikha. My friend and I got an immediate 4k with it and now we call the strat. "I AM SHUMIKHA!"

[@IceColdR6]

Been waiting for this😍

[@Poxonlox]

hey iceypooh

[@vincentmartinez3683]

Favorite Thorn placement is on bank, one at the entrance of tunnel , then another behind the servers. They ALWAYS run into the servers just to die

[@Masterf-ub3fu]

Wasn't expecting the levy insider here

[@aspicylemon6621]

For mute’s strat 33:55, reinforce the hatch so you can’t get naded from below

[@Poxonlox]

fax

[@SuperJeb98]

Best bb strat for me in coper is to just push immediately and bank on the bad recoil control of lower ranked to cause the defenders to hit the shield and then be above my head.

[@Niskey313]

Vigil strat on clubhouse playing above kitchen hatch when you go basement. You once were able to also hop on the cabinets and drones wouldn't get your static even, not sure if that's patched though still a good strat

[@TheEMan02]

Fuze is really good when attacking basement garage on consulate. He can play the vertical and use his fuze charges to completely deny bandit said or really anything on main wall. I use it frequently and often get kills on red car.

[@KudosR6]

You're best video so far! Keep it up

[@Poxonlox]

Thanks Suga ❤️

[@lyletheforger9071]

Every time I use Goyo I put two on barricades that Attackers always break, one for a default plant area and one for myself on the roam. Best for Oregon defending Bunkbed. Keep one for the late prep phase, run to Tower, jump on Tower beam and place it in the middle. Get back up top and hold tower as long as possible. I don't know how many times Attackers immediately rappel top window without droning and I get a free kill. Pair that with popping your beam Goyo to cover both sides of the stairs so they can't push up at you and he's a perfect time waster for teams trying to push Attic.

[@YamaXI]

Best clash strat is having a thunderbird, kaid, jaeger, and a rook. God tier set up. The kaid keeps them confined to 2-3 entrances which is easier for the clash to block, the thunderbird does her thing on obj so the clash and team can heal, rook makes the clash and everyone a little beefier which will help for trades since the HP is now replaceable, you could make the vests last awhile before you go down. This set up works best on coastline kitchen, or customs on border

[@manny141999]

And I think bandit is another one that could be added if it’s the guy I’m thinking about that puts down car battery’s. I’ve gotten kills with clash by shocking the opposing team with barbed wire on the ground for some reason it’s more deadly when they’re walking through it and you’re shocking them as they walk through. Just sucks her shield only has 125 battery life

[@Nvirr]

I still stand by that glazes best strat is finding a soft wall near a objective ( all of them cause no one reinforces ) or a roof and punching once or make a tiny hole then using sight to see enemies through and caping them but no one really seems to know you can do that

[@marcopena5117]

I miss Tachanka in the old days when he had that immobile LMG with the shield. Sounds crazy but he was a menace on some bomb sites. My favorite site with Old Chanka was Staff Room, Open Area on bank. I believe the Staff Room is the room with that big counter facing Open Area, and if your standing behind that counter and look right you have that big doorway. Well, I would set up the LMG right there (LMG MOUNTED, AND LOADED) and then set up a shield facing the door. Full fuckin body coverage from the big door in open area and the door directly to my right. I had so many amazing plays, my friends always understood when I go Chanka get me a Jager and I promise I'll take the whole enemy team haha I kid you not I had an ace doing this so long ago, killed 3 at the door and 2 across the room as they tried to get into open area. So many memories, I really miss him.

I agree with cavs but if you can’t play on a new map play her like pulse. Vertical play around the objective is pretty solid with her bcz she’s got a shotty and impacts. Her gadget is also useful for when you need to rotate back to site you just need to be careful for drones you aren’t vigil ur just quiet.

[@siwyktos3928]
