Open interactive House strats →Ban recommendations
- Sledge (attack) — House is a vertical map — Sledge from 2F above Garage and Living dominates the standard exec.
- Ash (attack) — House's soft walls and tight rooms favor Ash's breaching round entry pressure. Banning her slows attacker tempo.
- Mira (defense) — Black Mirrors on Master/Trampoline and Living/Foyer walls give defenders impossible-to-counter sightlines.
- Echo (defense) — Yokai drones on House's low ceilings deny plant attempts in Garage and basement sites.
2F — Master Bedroom / Closet
attack
Buck sets the tempo — Buck opens floors from above to deny defender anchor positions. Flores clears anti-breach and Thermite opens Master Bedroom on a coordinated count. Zero entries first; Nomad holds the back-side angles. Trampoline is the strong vertical setup — Buck opens Master ceiling.
defense
Setup is intel-first: Valkyrie hides Black Eye cameras outside the site for early rotation and entry reads. Bandit secures the Master Bedroom wall, Wamai covers projectile lanes. Vigil hunts info from 2F/1F connectors while Thunderbird anchors site. Mira on the Master/Trampoline wall reads the rooftop attack.
1F — Kitchen / Living Room
attack
Layered execute: Lion flashes from main, Ash pushes Living Room for the trade, Hibana and Thatcher hit Kitchen simultaneously. Sledge plays vertical from 2F to pressure Kitchen anchors through the soft floor. Foyer is the death funnel — flash and trade through it, do not dry-push. Plant goes down with Ash covering, Sledge watching above.
defense
Ela forces attackers to play slow — early picks from off-site keep their utility on flank-watch. Kaid on the Kitchen wall, Echo covers site entries with cameras and feeds rotation calls. Aruni denies projectile spam, Lesion sustains anchors. Bandit on the Living wall — common breach target for Kitchen exec.
1F — Garage / Workshop
attack
Layered execute: Capitao flashes from main, Iana pushes Workshop for the trade, Ace and Twitch hit Garage simultaneously. Zofia plays vertical from 2F to pressure Garage anchors through the soft floor. Driveway vertical from above denies Garage anchor cleanly. Plant goes down with Iana covering, Zofia watching above.
defense
Ela forces attackers to play slow — early picks from off-site keep their utility on flank-watch. Mute on the Garage wall, Mira places a Black Mirror between Garage and Workshop for sightlines on incoming pushes. Jager denies projectile spam, Goyo sustains anchors. Maestro Evil Eye covers both Workshop and Garage plant spots.
B — Boiler / Laundry
attack
Layered execute: Capitao flashes from main, Iana pushes Laundry for the trade, Ace and Twitch hit Boiler simultaneously. Zofia opens 1F soft floors above Boiler to deny basement defender setup. Open the Living Room hatch with Sledge — vertical exec into B. Plant goes down with Iana covering, Zofia watching above.
defense
Pulse forces attackers to play slow — early picks from off-site keep their utility on flank-watch. Mute on the Boiler wall, Mira places a Black Mirror between Boiler and Laundry for sightlines on incoming pushes. Jager denies projectile spam, Goyo sustains anchors. Reinforce Living and Kitchen hatches early — both threaten B vertical.
