Act 5 · Patch 13.05

A tested starting point, not a ranking

Five agents per map, read as a round plan: what the five covers, what it has to buy, and what it simply cannot do. Every count below is taken from those agents’ own abilities.

7 compositions, one for each map in the Competitive pool. No win rate, no pick rate, and no “best”

Attacking: Recon and flash into mid, smoke the far rotation, and enter on the second callout.
Defending: Anchor C with the trap, contest mid with information, and keep one flash for the retake.

What this five cannot do

Every capability on the list has at least one agent behind it. That is not the same as having enough of one — check the counts beside it.

After a loss

Tick what failed. The answer is which agents in this five were carrying that job — nothing here watched your round.
