Open interactive Kafe Dostoyevsky strats →Ban recommendations
- Thatcher (attack) — Kafe's reinforced walls on Reading and Mining sites depend on electronic denial. Without Thatcher, attackers must rely on slower alternatives to clear Kaid and Bandit.
- Capitao (attack) — Fire bolts deny critical anchor positions behind bar counters and in Fireplace Hall. Removing him weakens late-round execute potential.
- Maestro (defense) — Evil Eyes on Kafe's tight plant spots are extremely hard to clear. Maestro provides bulletproof intel and chip damage that stalls executes.
- Smoke (defense) — Kafe's narrow doorways and stairwells make Smoke's canisters devastating for plant denial across every site.
