Act 5 · Patch 13.05
Utility by the job, not by the clip
Every row is a round job on a real site: what it buys, what spending it costs, and the two callouts it runs between. Which agents can fill it is looked up from their abilities, so the library never goes stale against a kit change.
24 setups across 7 maps · 12 lean on a surface a patch can move. No throw instruction is published here

Haven A · Deny plant
StandA LinkLandsA Site
10 agents on the roster carry an ability with this job — the ones written as fitting Haven come first.
- AstraE · Nebula / Dissipate · fits this map
- BrimstoneE · Sky Smoke · fits this map
- CloveE · Ruse · fits this map
- CypherQ · Cyber Cage · fits this map
- 1 · PositionStand at A Link, on the side the site cannot see.
- 2 · TargetThe landing zone is A Site — the deny plant only works if it covers it.
- 3 · ReleasePlace Stars in Astral Form (Ultimate Key). ACTIVATE a Star to transform it into a Nebula (smoke). USE a Star to Dissipate it, returning the Star to be placed in a new location after a delay. Dissipate briefly forms a fake Nebula at the Star's location before returning.
- What it buys
- Three sites already stretch four defenders; denying the default plant buys the rotation instead of spending a player on it.
- Do not use it when
- It blinds your own retake too. Spend it when the numbers are even, not when you are already down one.
Recall test
Without looking: from A Link, where does this deny plant land?
Answer first, then reveal — recalling is the part that transfers to a round.
What went wrong
Logs against deny plant on Haven A and marks it failed, so the “failed recently” lens brings it back.
