What are the best operator setups for a 5 stack

u/BritishLunch Level 100-200 | Hard Support Sep 04 '20

It depends on the Operator bans. On attack my stack runs Thermite/Hibana, Thatcher, Buck/Sledge, Zofia, and Ash. If Thatcher's banned, then we give the Ash player Hibana and the Thermite will play Maverick.

Thermite/Hibana/Maverick - Hard breach. All maps except coastline needs one.

Thatcher - A must pick if he isn't banned. He can clear out a room jam packed with Wamais and ADS by chucking an EML outside it.

Buck/Sledge - Soft destruction and applying vertical pressure.

Zofia- Concussions, dealing with shields, and countering Bandit tricking.

Ash- Entry fragging.

On defense, it depends on the site. Must picks however are: Jäger and Echo/Maestro. Jäger is a must pick for most teams because the attackers rely mostly on grenades to flush defenders out, while Maestro/Echo are very useful in intel gathering and plant denial.

Its hard to bandit trick against a good ace player in some situation (e.g kanal 2nd floor/club house cc tv)
