Ban Guide

Nighthaven Labs — Ban Order

Optimal ban targets for Nighthaven Labs ranked play. Attack bans neutralize the most dangerous attacker operators against this map; defense bans neutralize the most oppressive defender setups.

Attack Bans (ban these attackers)

Thatcher — ATTACK BAN

Nighthaven Labs' basement Server Room walls are heavily electrified. Without Thatcher, attackers must rely on risky Kali or Twitch plays to open critical reinforcements.

Flores — ATTACK BAN

Flores' exploding drones clear bulletproof utility through Nighthaven's long corridors with zero risk. Banning him forces attackers to push into defender gadgets head-on.

Defense Bans (ban these defenders)

Kaid — DEFENSE BAN

Electroclaw range lets Kaid deny hatches and walls on Server Room and Assembly simultaneously. His flexibility is critical for Nighthaven's vertical-heavy defense.

Smoke — DEFENSE BAN

Nighthaven Labs' tight chokepoints and narrow corridors make Smoke's canisters devastating for denying plant attempts on every site.
