attack
Hibana opens the Workshop reinforced wall from the parking lot side. Ash pushes through the main entrance after clearing utility. Buck plays vertical from above Ventilation to deny anchor positions below. Zofia concusses and opens rotations through soft walls. Flores drones destroy shields and barbed wire before the execute.
defense
Bandit tricks the Workshop wall to deny Hibana every round. Smoke holds the supply corridor and denies late-round plant attempts. Jager ADS protect anchor positions from flashbangs and projectiles. Ela roams main lobby and central stairs with Grzmot mines. Thunderbird Kona station near the rotation between Workshop and Ventilation provides sustain.
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.
