Gameplay tips

  1. 1

    Cascade wall moves forward. Use it to push enemies off angles as your team advances.

  2. 2

    Cove is a destructible bubble shield. Use it to protect spike plant or defuse.

  3. 3

    High Tide can bend to cover multiple angles. Practice curving it to block sightlines.

  4. 4

    Reckoning slows enemies in a huge area. Combine it with team pushes for overwhelming pressure.

  5. 5

    Use Cascade aggressively through doorways to challenge enemies holding common angles.

Strengths

  • Multiple vision-blocking walls provide unmatched sightline control

  • Cove shield is unique and protects from all damage briefly during plant/defuse

  • Can cut off multiple angles simultaneously with High Tide's flexibility

Weaknesses

  • Walls slow teammates who pass through them, which can disrupt team pushes

  • Cove is destructible and short-lived, not a reliable long-term cover

  • Less damage-dealing smokes compared to Viper or Brimstone
