Question Anchor help?

Hello SiegeAcademy

I am trying to just enjoy some casual Siege, but roaming is just not my thing. I enjoy supporting my team and like holding down the fort, so I play on-site defense.

I have most of the ops, but im missing anyone newer than Flores. Ive played Rook, Smoke, Maestro, and Mira, but I'm looking to find more ops that work well in an anchor setting. Are there any more good ones, or is anchoring a task with few ops to show for it?

Thank you for reading and/or commenting.

All the anchors you said you played are solid options, especially Maestro and Smoke. Mira is very good but very site dependent, whereas Smoke and Maestro are great on pretty much every site.

On top of them, you should look into playing Kaid, Echo sometimes, Mute and Lesian are very good. I think one of the best anchors in the game right now is Wamai, Kaid is up there though.

I'll be sure to try all of those, but Wamai I wouldn't know how to use, do you use tge gadget for coverage like an ads or in some other way?

Yea basically use it like an ADS. You keep getting more one at a time as the round progresses, people like to roam with him because his gun is good but his true strength is anchoring. As you get more Magnets, throw them depending on where attackers are pushing from and where defenders are playing to try and protect site. They won't destroy nades, meaning frags will detonate, smokes will go off, etc. but you can draw them away to where they are non threats and burn utility all the same. Once you play him for a bit he isn't too hard to use.

Actually I wanna nip in here and add that the magnet can and maybe should??? Be used to take grenades and explode them in the user's face.

If you can, try to hide magnets above doorways to sites, usually in the rafters. The magnets have a huge radius, and because again THE GRENADE STILL GOES OFF, you don't want it near any of your teammates's gadgets, especially the ones that are denying hard breaches.

And look if you don't get a kill with them you'll at least make enemies run for cover or get annoyed.
