defense
Kaid electrifies the Armory wall from behind cover inside the site. Smoke holds the Archives doorway and denies late-round plant attempts.

Map-wide ban recommendations (Border)
- Thatcher (attack ban) — Border's reinforced walls on Workshop and Armory are heavily electrified. Without Thatcher, attackers must rely on slow Kali or Twitch plays to clear Bandit and Kaid.
- Ace (attack ban) — S.E.L.M.A charges can open multiple walls from safety. Removing Ace forces attackers into riskier Thermite plays on Border's exposed wall positions.
- Mira (defense ban) — Black Mirrors on Workshop connector and Customs walls give defenders overwhelming intel and deny safe entry through Border's tight corridors.
- Valkyrie (defense ban) — Border's many exterior windows and rooftop approaches make Valkyrie's outside cameras devastating for early warning and C4 runout kills.
