Optimal ban targets for Fortress ranked play. Attack bans neutralize the most dangerous attacker operators against this map; defense bans neutralize the most oppressive defender setups.
Fortress's reinforced walls on Commander Office and Kitchen depend on electronics. Banning Thatcher forces hard-breach gambles.
Vertical from above Hammam and Briefing is the cleanest 2F→1F pressure. Buck is the most reliable open-floor option.
Evil Eyes covering Cafeteria and Sitting Room plant spots are extremely hard to clear. Forces attackers to spend utility before plant.
Volcan shields in Fortress's narrow corridors deny rotations and create plant-denial fire walls. Hard counter to standard executes.
Ban order is half the round. The other half is execute, anchor, and rotation reads.
