I absolutely love echo. I’m so happy to see him get some love. He’s so underrated. I actually got my first defensive ace with him the other day and dropped a 15 bomb using only him on defense. I would play him every round, but I usually have to play wall denial because no one else will.
Youre probably going to laugh but Imo the most underrated defender is Cav. I know she’s not respected by the competitive community but I really feel like I have mastered this op. I’m a pc champ and no team I’ve faced has really figured me out. And these teams I’ve been playing are very coordinated. I know like “oh they’re watching the flank” or “you can still hear her” but there’s a small opening and you need to pounce. Know when to play crazy fast, know when to play slow. Also know how to hide yourself from drones or trick droners. Cant tell you how many times I’ve heard attackers around me and I’m hidden and i tell my friend “bro start shooting…” and he starts firing his weapon in a specific area even tho he’s not really shooting anyone. It tricks the other team and in that split second of them trying to take in the information of the shots and communicating, i run up behind simultaneously and kill a duo. Round over. Ezpz. Such an underrated op. She’s my 3rd highest KD and W/L op. I’d like to know what you think of all this. Great video btw!
Shout out to my boy, Castle. He is the very definition of easy to pick up. All he does is put up armoured barricades and that’s a wrap. After that, he can roam or camp. Very simple but effective IF done right.
Definitely agree with Fenrir and Azami. You could put those 2 in every single defensive strat for sure. The other 3 are a bit more situational I think. You're gonna want wall denial other than Mute some rounds, so Kaid/Bandit. If you are heavily relying on the position of the Azami player then you probably want a Wamai/Jager. Mira is just exceptionally good on some sites/setups. Mute is probably the most well rounded defender overall, but I would probably replace him in a comp strat(Smoke/Mira) before Azami or Fenrir, unless I am creating one with the assumption that Azami will be banned.
As a maestro main, he gets not a lot of love. Hes a menace on a majority of maps. Evil eyes in the right spot can cripple certain pushes and the Alder is dangerous.
nobody picks maestro because brava is a hard counter picck that attackers can simply switch to after finding out there is a maestro so most of the time he will harm the team more than help
Great video like usual. But personally Mute needs a buff and as for Ace he can throw it a little bit higher still opening some of the wall. So for Mute's buff he should be able to use his Jammers on walls like being placed on walls like Jager or Melusi. Then Mute would be top tier. Imo. As for Echo I agree he's extremely underrated imo. Definitely top tier if he's played properly. But for Echo to be ideal he needs to be alive to make plant denial plays. He's useless if he's dead. But his drones are still camera's so if they're not destroyed they're still great intel. Azami is definitely my go to her walls are great they can be shields, they can get you on top of stuff you wouldn't be able to get to as well she can act like a 'soft' Mira. Meaning you know how you setup Mira window's with the wall next to it as soft. Well think that but with Azami instead of the Mira window you put a Kiba on the soft wall towards the bottom guarding your torso down leaving the head holes exposed. She's great on every site. Solis is top tier she's great on sites that are on the 2nd floor. Just play her like a Pulse. Plus she counters most Attackers. Use her during prep phase chasing drones then during the round try to be safe on the roam. Imo she needs to be one of the last Operator's alive. Fenrir is such a good boy. His gadgets tell you what room they're in they have a decent ability but if you're playing him give it a few seconds before you swing the Attacker. But with his gadgets use them in high traffic area's, learn how to juggle your codes between them all. Also only use 2 codes imo and use the 3rd as a backup especially a gadget as well. You should always keep a gadget in your pocket just incase. As for my list my top 5 Defenders in order from Best to Great are..... Azami, Fenrir, Solis, Kaid and Rook. Hear me out. Azami mainly for all the different stuff you can do with her gadgets. Fenrir because his smoke is strong and they tell you what rooms they are in it's good for N00bs to learn the maps. Solis for the reasons I gave before. Kaid because his Claws can go anywhere and can get the walls without being on the floor. As for Rook hear me out he has the 1.5 or the 2.0 on his gun plus his armor is always useful and can get you up from the Downed state. It saved me a bunch of times. If not Rook then it's Lesion. Especially with the dmg buff coming back. Lesion will be very useful imo. He has 9 Gu's so even if he's dead his Gu can still help the team. They're intel, they do damage and if you're creative enough you can hide them pretty well. Plus trap Operator's are always needed on the lineup.
Mute doesn't need a buff, i've been maining my boy before his jammers got a radius nerf. I do see why they nerfed him but i do miss him being a 2 speed.
@@Wutang36 Totally understand. It's just a thought like this one. His Jammers actually being able to stop Ram's Trucks because at the moment there's two counters and I guess a third that no one will use. Impacts, shoot the red cannister and I guess C4.
You’re underrated, man. I’d agree with this list, but I’d put Valk there instead of Echo. Echo would definitely be #6. I got black ice for him recently so I’ve been playing him & he’s great.
I've been saying this for ages but Echo is literally better than Warden. Amazing gun with a 1.5x, a decently useful secondary gadget (impact nades) which can be useful for surprising people through soft walls or finishing downed attackers, he's a 2 speed which is alright, and he gets actual utility. Echo is proof that R6 players are lazy and deliberately choose defenders with no utility so they can get away with being lazy. I know everyone says "TDM meta" but the TDM meta only exists if you play into it. You can choose to use amazing utility in creative ways but people would rather just not do that. The ONLY issue with Echo is that Brava exists now.
Imo you would be stupid not to play echo. Every season they buff him. The speed, broken shotgun, brava is not a problem hide one and pocket the other. Pulse solis and echo benefit from the tdm meta. Either way they runaround trying to find you and have to plant last min. Or they're so scared to push you and have to plant
I pulled off a 1v1 clutch with Brava while out of the building on Kafe, since I stole an echo drone and concussed the defender who was defusing the defuser 😎
@@alyttleton I forgot to mention I used to play lesion as well, might to check it out. As for Solis, I still haven't buy the op, I'll buy her after I have enough renown. Thanks!!
I'm from algeria north africa, and i Watch all your videos u do a really great job thank u man , your top 5 is legit i agree with you and i add castle if it setup on extension to the site like on border armory/archives and u setup castle on cctv and make line of site on 90 exxt ...
This is so strange, I was doing my own research as a new player about this topic and got to the same examples, I have been following some videos here so migth as well subscribe, nice video! and beard tho
Better nerf these Radios xD . PS: In my opinion Fenrir is really good and his ability should not be changed. Flashes also do what they have to do. It's just like a flash. If your eyes got poisoned like pepper spray or something, you won't feel better even if you destroy that pepper spray can.
Dont see anyone else mentioning it but ace just absorbing a shotgun shell to the face from the bailiff is a bit crazy ngl. Ive also recently seen a video of people shooting lower damage weapons like p90 through a wall, hitting someones head and not killing them. 1 shot headshot mechanic is failing us! 😂
They both do different jobs, Smoke can hold down one area really well, like elbow in Oregon for example. Fenrir can cover multiple areas without having to constantly watch them. Appreciate the kind words!
I like how you talk about the mute in the beginning like he has no counters...it's not like someone can't just peek in that door and shoot the first mute jammer...it's not like they can't nade the next jammer on the door and then drone in...I get the concept, yes he is great in lower levels and wall denying. But i do feel there are other ops i would rather bring then him
If you're wasting a nade to destroy a mute jammet that's an absolute win for the defenders. Also if you're gonna peek the door to destroy a jammer, I'm gonna kill you as you swing the door and look at the floor.
Hi there, i'm a Mute main. I hate Mute. He takes up all my time in setup. He doesnt have 1.5. He's slow. His gadget is boring. But as a solo queue player who wants to win - i main Mute. You're welcome!
Anyone here noob friendly and want to play? I have recently started. Horrible. Horrible. The learning curve for this game is insane. Looking for peeps to play with.
Thank you very much. These are good to know. Definitely worth pinning and using smart play vs just being a gun slinger. I enjoy Maestro especially with the placement tip vid. Yes we have plenty of trains in America, we have nasty derailments 🚆

You don’t have to tell him, he loves Maestro. I believe he did a video about him recently.
Indeed, about 6 videos or so ago
nobody picks maestro because brava is a hard counter picck that attackers can simply switch to after finding out there is a maestro so most of the time he will harm the team more than help
Maestro just has way too many counters now. His cameras aren’t as good as they used to be. I used to main him, but I swapped a while back.
@@chiefinasmith thats fair. Ash charges, gonne 6 and kalis gadget do hurt him way to much.
Mute counters jackel, lion, dokk scans. My favorite thing to do is to keep a pocket mute for claymores on a run out.

It's insane how good defense is. Fenrir, Solis, Azami, Mute, Valk, Mira, Aruni, and Kaid are all arguably better than the best attacker
You cant compare attack and defense, but you could argue that defense is a bit easier
Definitely at the moment, next season might be different though

Stay tuned, won't be too long
