Optimal ban targets for Tower ranked play. Attack bans neutralize the most dangerous attacker operators against this map; defense bans neutralize the most oppressive defender setups.
Tower's reinforced walls on Gift Shop and Restaurant depend on electronic denial. Thatcher EMP is mandatory for reliable hard breach.
Fire bolts deny anchor positions in Tower's open exhibition rooms. Removes a key area-denial tool from execute reads.
Black Mirrors in Gift Shop and Tea Room give defenders impossible-to-counter sightlines on the standard Lobby/East push.
Yokai drones on Tower's tight site ceilings deny plants and provide constant intel during exec.
Ban order is half the round. The other half is execute, anchor, and rotation reads.
