STRATEGIES
ATTACK SIDE
Take mid control early to split defenders between A and B. Mid is the most important area on Ascent.
Use utility to clear Catwalk and Market before committing to a site push.
Default with players watching both A Main and B Main while your mid player gathers information.
Fake one site with utility then rotate through mid to attack the other. Ascent's mid enables fast rotations.
DEFENSE SIDE
Hold mid aggressively with a player in Market or Catwalk. Losing mid means attackers can split both sites.
Use Killjoy or Cypher utility on B site to play retake while focusing players on A and Mid.
Close the doors on B site to delay pushes and force attackers to use utility.
Stack A site with two players. A Main is the most commonly attacked chokepoint.
BEST AGENTS
Killjoy
Excellent site anchor on B with turret and nanoswarm setups
Sova
Recon Bolt lineups cover both sites perfectly from safe positions
Omen
Can smoke from anywhere and use Shrouded Step for creative mid plays
Jett
Strong on the Operator due to long sightlines on A Main and Mid
KAY/O
Suppress enemy utility through walls, great for site executes
