Operator picks, callouts, utility, and ban recommendations for every bomb site. Free tactical guide from Recon 6.
Open interactive Skyscraper strats →Ban recommendations
- Buck (attack) — Skyscraper's soft floors make vertical play devastating on Tea Room and Bedroom. Without Buck, attackers lose their strongest tool for pressuring anchors from above.
- Ash (attack) — Fast entry through Skyscraper's many windows and balcony doors makes Ash a dominant fragger. Banning her slows down aggressive window plays significantly.
- Valkyrie (defense) — Skyscraper's exterior balconies and windows make Valkyrie's outside cameras extremely powerful for C4 kills and early rotation reads.
- Echo (defense) — Yokai drones deny plant in Tea Room and Kitchen's tight plant spots. Very hard to clear with Skyscraper's cluttered ceiling spaces.
