who are the best and worst operators in Rainbow Six CX well luckily for you today we have a tier list and we're going to show you all them and tell you all them i don't know why I said we i am i'm going to show you how to do this and then we have tier list and you're like "Ah this ops's good." It's going to be a little different this time than my typical tier list because I have changed the categories a little bit we have descriptions of the categories so S tier is going to be always strong or like someone who's OP so either they're always going to be a really good pick or they're just going to be really broken in most circumstances a is going to be consistently strong so it's like a pick that's like pretty good most of the time well sorry really good most of the time you know you can't go wrong picking these operators and you can play them pretty much all the time b decent overall these are decent operators okay maybe yeah there's better operators there's definitely worse operators than these operators but they're like good c is going to be very niche so either they're really good and only very niche rounds or like only a select few bomb sites or they're going to be just like overall pretty weak like they might be okay all the time but like they're just not like good all the time right like okay but it's not like something that's really a good pick d is operators I personally would not pick but you could pick them and they're not going to be completely useless like maybe they have a couple situations they're good but they're not like great and they're like man like I I just wouldn't pick them or there's like a better operator you can pick so that's going to be our D tier our F tier is just garbage don't pick these operators they're so bad all right let's get into it starting off with Ace ace is obviously always a strong pick ace is the best hard breacher in the game he's not OP but he's always going to be strong no matter what bomb site no matter where you're attacking no matter who you're playing against you cannot go wrong picking Ace you got the AK-12 the Selas are super versatile they're the quickest hard breaching you can do them at range there is no downside to picking Ace that's why he's in the S tier next we have Alibi i actually really like Alibi i think she's actually pretty good especially if you're maneuvering the Prismas correctly and you're playing off the fact that you have the observation blockers so they're not quite sure exactly where they are so they might be shooting them and then you can replace them with yourself and then you can switch around and based on who you're playing you might not replace it cuz they might shoot it again or they might not shoot it at all so there's a lot of little intricacies and details to her that make her a lot very exciting to play and very fun plus her gun is great and you know overall she's not horrible but she is weaker than most operators which is why I would put her in the C tier amaru is next and really the only good part about Amaru is the fact she has good weapons and flashbang so she has a good load out but her ability itself is something that isn't completely useless but you could do it for like a rush or something i would put in the D tier i mean I don't think you should really be picking Amaru most of the operators going to be better picks and uh overall yeah Dtier then we have Aroon aroon is very solid right now right you can burn a lot of utility you can reset the gates not only are you getting rid of the attacker's utility but you're gaining information from the gates so they're very strong plus she has some fisting abilities as I do like to say i think she is uh she's a decent overall operator i would maybe put her in like consistently strong but I think overall decent like a like a really decent operator i'm just not picking her as much as some other characters I'd say and then we have Ash ash makes stuff blow up she's fast r4c ash is an operator that I think is always strong ash is just S tier right now she's fast she's quick her ability is simple and straightforward but it's very effective right you're just canceling out utility you're trading your utility for their utility it is gone but you can also do rushes with her you can breach quickly if you need to you can do vertical play if you need to she's something that's just always going to be a great pick so always strong s tier aami is next this is an example of an operator who is always strong but is also OP aami has been broken since she came out she is literally good on every single bomb site can create cover anywhere on the fly extremely versatile play style you can play her you know you can pre-place all the zombie barriers or you can use them on the fly to block cover and make plays so in general super super good if you're using those aamis appropriately however she can be a little more difficult so if you think a zombie isn't S tier maybe you're just not playing her right or maybe I'm wrong at least I can admit it next up we have Bandit who I would personally put in the B tier bandit isn't the best wall denial in the game you know he's no cade okay he's no cade however bandit tricking is going to be super effective even just placing the batteries is enough to waste the enemy's time force them to bring EMPs or a Maverick he just he's just this operator that gives you this decent feel it's like yeah you could pick Bandit and that's probably going to be okay depending on the circumstances of the match next up we have Blackbeard who might be the most annoying operator in the game uh definitely S tier i mean it's just he's just so freaking stupid right now he's just a shield so you can just gather info for free with very very little risk you can just walk through the map if you have a teammate with you you can ADS and all of a sudden you have two people shooting at them and they can't shoot both at the same time so he's extremely good for solo play because you can clear so much but he's also very good for team play he's very difficult to counter yes you can bring Clash but then he can just throw the shield on his back and now he's like every other character in the game having an AR and being able to shoot back so Clash counters him as well as basically any other operator and he's very difficult to deal with especially when you bring like a finker or something so just stupid the fact he has grenades is mainly why he's in the S tier right the shield plus grenade combo force people out of cover and then you have a shield covering you as you shoot them as they sprint away it's just ridiculous like this guy is just he's just ridiculous right now our next B operator is Blitz who is another shield like Blackbeard super annoying all the same things apply except that he doesn't have the AR of course but he thrives even more in the close range so if you get close range with blitz now instead of you know dashing them with a shield like blackbeard and winning the gunfight you're fully blinding them and then you can just ADS them and kill them so either of these two operators close range they are getting completely cooked team environment soul environ both very good blitz is going to be S tier as well because the two of these together with Dokabe and Fina and all the other operators that are just so aids right now are just like sorry I'm getting a little riled up i get a lot of comments on these videos of people being like this is so biased and like yeah that's a tear list this is this is how I personally feel about the operators that's it's hard to be objective about these things unless you look at like the stats across like all the ranks and all the regions and then it's like but then it doesn't really apply to you cuz it's not specific enough so this is for me brava is next bravo is uh pretty good i mean there's a lot of operators that she can counter right now and with the new band system you can play around with that idea a lot which is really really cool i love to see that i wouldn't say she's consistently strong just cuz there's a lot of times where she's not as good it really relies on the other team playing specific operators but when you pull her out she can effectively counter them really well i think she is like a decent overall character she's not very niche she is just sort of niche like she's good like half the time maybe I would say but when you are bringing her she is going to be really effective especially against a cap a Rooney Maestro Ekko like there's there's a lot of operations you can actually use her against and then you also have smokes parah very nice shotgun secondary so great loadout accompanying a great ability useful most of the time boom btier decent overall buck is next this operator is always going to be strong he's not OP well he's OP in the sense that he's like better than most of the characters but he's not OP in the sense of like this is broken it's more just the fact that he can breach from below from above through walls do it really fast cuz he can switch from the shotgun to the AR so you can kind of like hot breach surprise people which is kind of crazy basically any bomb site you're going to be able to work some sort of self-destruction into your favor plus with a great gun and flashmakings for flash bangs for playmaking buck is good though you can I mean he's good everywhere any rank any region any everywhere he's always going to be a good pick i am trying to order these in the appropriate order too i would I would probably do it like this way there we go that That's probably where I'd put these guys capy tow is next and I know a lot of you guys love Capito but me personally I'm a bit of a hater i just think he's so so niche like there's only a few bombs I would actually use them on most of them are on Clubhouse uh you know like clearing out rafters or going for like a kitchen drop on the basement of clubhouse other than that though I just find it's very difficult to justify picking up just because it is so high risk pulling out that crossbow it takes a while then you have to shoot it and then it doesn't last very long so there's a lot of downsides actually using his ability with that being said he has a lot of utility he has hard rituals he has gone six he has two smokes he has two fires so there's a lot you can do with him i just think there is a lot better options like rim for example is just kind of the exact same operator in a better way plus you can bounce the bees and you can switch to them quicker so I would put them in like weak overall most of the time I'm going to pick another operator just per that's just personal i just I'm like I don't want to take the risk of pulling this out i would rather use someone else i would rather just walk in on them with a shield or whatever castle is next uh castle is uh decent overall you know there's a lot of really really strong castle strats there's a lot of time where you can hurt your team with castle so I mean I wouldn't recommend Castle for anyone who is slightly new to the game i mean most people just screw their team over by playing Castle with that being said he's very good with coordination he's very good on a lot of bomb sites if your team know what's going on so he can be he can be uh good but he can also be really bad so there's this very there's this big contrast with Castle uh but overall he's decent i wouldn't pick him all the time i would say he's consistently strong on every site so decent overall uh we'll put him in the B tier cav is next this one This one I have a a strong opinion on here cav is not garbage okay a lot of people think she's garbage i wouldn't even say not to pick Cav i would say that Cav is very niche and very strong in that niche circum those niche circumstances so Cav is going to be really really good when the other team is playing super aggressive like they're just running in they're not droning they're just running through the map or they're spreading out and taking control everywhere you just go stand in the corner boom you pick one off interrogation check the cams off the start it's so easy to get interrogations under the right circumstance and that just instantly basically wins you the round because you know where all of them are but with that being said in those circumstances she can be really good so I wouldn't actually put her any lower than Ctier i can't put her higher just of the sake that it is still Cav and her guns are pretty ass i'm going to put Clash at the end we'll save her for later next we have Damos damos is an operator that is so so good most of the time like there's times where Damos is like not a great pick and somebody else is going to be better not that he's not a great pick but he's he's just an okay pick but most of the time he is really really good pick you might think he's S tier you know he's always going to be strong maybe even OP at times but I think he's more of like an A tier consistently strong you can get a lot of value out of him on most rounds but there's some times where it's like I just I'm just it's not doing enough and I would rather be somebody else so I'm going to put him in the A tier when he's really good he's really really good and when he's not as good he's just he's okay still because he has the vendetta pistol sometimes you might just not get the same amount of value out of his ability as you might want so that's why I'm going to put in the A tier doc is next stocks obviously you got the MP5 you can run around shoot people you have the confidence to do it you can get the health back going to be good in pretty much every rank the higher in skill you go and the better players you play the less value you get out of doc so you know you're going into pro league and it's like okay well like I can play him here and keep stmming myself over and over to you know survive the capile fire uh or I could uh that's about it that's about the only strategy in Pro League that they use but I think he's still decent overall especially for ranked you know he's going to be fine people are still picking Doc all the time there's a reason for it everyone has health and then you're good and then it's like woo dog yeah woo yeah and he's better than Castle [ __ ] Castle next we have Doabe can't wait to see how many comments I get of saying all these names wrong it's Doky you're so dumb sorry I'm getting distracted again doabe is uh Yeah she's she's broken she's She's OP as hell you know you get calls you know where everybody is around you you can just send it through the map once you pull a phone call out then you can kill a ROR and then you can hack the cams and now you know where everyone else is and you get more information and she's just by far the best info operator attacker that there is uh so I'm going to I'm going to put her in the always strong op category of the S tier ekko is h Ekko's really good underrated i think you can play him so aggressive you can drive the echo cams outside make plays off them you can drive your rors around the map and call out for them you can distract people with them disorient them you can stop plants and play him for time stall to waste more time i think Ekko is actually an A tier operator just very very slept on and especially now with the rank 2.0 ban system like you can ban Bravo or you can ban IQ and then it's like oh now Ekko is actually going to be even better right so I think there's a lot to play with with Ekko and I do think he's really underrated um should I make an Echo video maybe ella is next ella is actually typically I would put Ella like the D tier but she's growing on me guys okay firstly Ellotty still nasty ellotty is still great uh obviously the Scorpion's really good too i just like recently hit a clip with Ella and I'm like "Oh I actually used the Scorpion for once because I really struggle with that gun." The reason she's not going to be in the D tier for Siege X is because shields are so good and so annoying right now and it's very difficult to deal with them but she is one solution to that that is very useful so I'm move up to very niche when you're playing shields or you're playing people highly aggressive you can pick you can bust out the Ella and she's going to be she's going to be quite effective plus you have the impact so you have impacts and eleines to deal with the shields which are two things that are that are really good against them so that's why she's going to be in the very niche in terms of like the rushing and the fast-paced play and the information of her I just think there's better information ops out there which we'll get to eventually on this tier list so stay tuned for that but yeah Ctier uh very niche but can be really good in in that circumstance that I just mentioned freaking mosquito and it's going to die i'll kill I'll kill this mosquito at some point during this might be right now i did not get him stay tuned for mosquito to die fenrirer is next one of the best information ops on the defense tons of ways to get free kills from the Fener mines if you're playing him right very difficult operator uh but very very good once you play him a lot of people think Fener's easy but I I I genuinely think you're not playing Fener right if you think he's easy like he's he's not easy especially because there's so many different ways you can play him uh but you know moving the mines at the right time setting them up in the right spots pocketing them throwing them using them outside there's so many different ways to play him uh but he is he is really really really strong every single bomb site tons of infos tons of playmaking ability uh I'm going put him in the OP category because of it put him here we'll put him here fina is next people be sleeping on the Fina okay so good with shields shields plus Fina equals just it's over because the shields she increases your ADS speed i saw someone say "I don't like fina stim because then the heartbeat is so loud you can't hear anything." Never had this problem i don't know why you have this pro do you have this a genuine problem people have or just this one guy i want to know but the fact that you can ADS so fast with these shields is insane like you can instantly AD like it's like light speed it's it's a crazy buff and it's so good especially with the Blackbeard especially with the Blitz and then the shields are hard to kill already so then you get extra health and they're even more hard to kill plus she has the LMG she has the grenades for destruction i think Fina is not very niche but decent overall so I'm going to put her in decent overall she's not broken like she's not broken i wouldn't say she's like consistently strong but she is decent and she's she's always going to be like useful kind of useful for your team so we're going to put we'll put her right we'll put her above doc she's like a better doc of attack yeah I got him all right that was quick nice next up we have Flores obviously you have four explosive retro drones for destroying a ton of stuff floors is really good if you have like that slower team that is going to wait for you to actually use your Floros drone so you can actually destroy stuff without everyone dying in the meantime he's got an okay gun he's got the flashbangs for playmaking i think he's like not very niche but somewhat niche kind of like the finkits like most of the time you're going to have stuff to blow up and most of the time it's going to be useful you can always hit a Flores drone bait which is kind of fun flores is uh he he's annoying to play against i'm not going to lie so I'm I'm going put him in the C tier decent overall not going to be consistently strong but he's going to be a strong pick in in a lot of situations frost is next frost mats are still really good dude they're still really good even though you can revive out of them you can play off them the right way to make it so they just literally can't hop in the window without dying which is nice she covers a lot of ground has a great weapon has that ACOG scope of course shotgun to sight setup a lot of fun Frost plays you can make i think she's decent overall as well not like consistently strong but decent overall maybe a little bit bomb sight specific uh I I like Frost you know she's a fun operator she's a good operator i'm going to put her right here below Aroon fuse is next uh fuse especially with the new sound is is even worse i think the new sound helps people see C4 fuse through the floor even better i know there's been a couple audio bugs lately so don't take that into account but with the accurate info of the audio when it's working your C4 and fuse all the time like he's just going to die because it is so accurate and so pinpoint and so precise however he has the AK-12 he has a shield he has hard breach tools and fuse chargers which you can use together to open walls right you fuse the stuff off the wall and then you hard breach it very nice uh obviously if it's electrified you can't do that unless you play an organ master closet in which case you can fuse the floor and get rid of the wall mount anyway fuse is um he's just not good he's not completely useless you know i just would rather not play him i'd rather play a ram i'd rather play a buck if I'm working vertically yes you can destroy a lot of stuff but you can also just do that with ash almost more effectively if you are only destroying the stuff that actually matters uh plus getting into a position where you can actually fuse the floor is difficult on its own right clearing the rors getting up there not getting flanked making sure you're you're you're accounting for that and having the resources to actually be able to use the fuse charges effectively and safely is not easy we're putting him in the D tier glaz is next sniper rifle thermoscope glaz is like I feel like Glaz is falling off a bit right i feel like most of the time there's just better picks you know you can go for that sight execute but you can't even bring the sense with it anymore cuz you can't see through the sense only two smoke grenades is not great so it it's kind of like yeah you're picking him just for a thermal scope which is very niche especially if you're like solo like getting use out of that the smokes and the thermal it can be difficult right so I think he's overall like pretty weak does have those niche situations where he's good but it's it's like do you really need to risk it and pick the glass i don't think so i'm going to put him in the D tier next we have Goyo four go-o canisters lots of passive information there right especially if you're placing them on barricades they'll just blow up by themselves really good for stalling time careful of the twitch drones careful the twitch drones we all know about the twitch drones am I right or just grenades or just anything to blow them up if the faster the attackers get rid of them the less value you're getting out of the yo-yos i think Goyo is consistently strong this is an operator that is going to be a good pick no matter where or what bomb site you're on i mean if you're barricading the doors of sight and yo-yoing it and trapping your whole team in maybe don't pick Goyo that's the That's kind of the castle issue once again but putting on exterior doorways exterior windows where you know common pushes come from or setting up on walls like basement of theme park where you have two entrances into the site and they and you keep all the walls shut now you can waste 40 seconds on each door it's very very effective so very good time cell operator and you could probably pick them on every site and be fine but consistently strong is kind of what stands out for me for him vector AOG too i mean hey Vector Akog impact grenades very nice gridlock is next gridlock I'm going to put her in Ctier i think Gridlock is very niche very niche a lot of people play gridlock for flank watch don't be doing that man it's garbage okay nomad for flank watch nomad for flank watch not gridlock because they can walk through the gridlocks they can shoot them and come back like it's just so easy to get around from a flanking perspective but if you're using them aggressively you're doing a chaotic sight push right you're smoking it off and you're gridlocking off it causes a lot of noise while you're planting in a weird spot you can cause a lot of noise causes a lot of chaos and you can gain a lot of control if you're using it for that like kind of push right where you're just blasting in there good for blasting let's say that we have my Lord Grim i think the Grim rework like not the rework but the the buffs they made to him made him from like a garbage operator to an S tier operator like I think the grim changes are genuinely one of the best changes for an operator we've ever seen in R six now he has this very very strong ability that can gain so much information it lasts the right amount of time which is 16 seconds so you can shoot one somewhere and then go rotate somewhere else and then use that to your advantage that information if you do it you know efficiently and quickly or you can just shoot them and know that spots covered for that amount of time while you do something else so it's it's just so good for getting information knowing what is clear and what isn't even if none of the bees have any pings on them you know you don't have to look at those areas and you can focus on the other ones and get ready for gunfights so there's so much strength to him plus he has the commando which is you know top five ARs in the game top five guns in the game along with hard breach tools so you can open up hatches if you're doing like a basement site like bank basement you open hatches shoot bees everywhere now you can execute so fantastic execute operator fantastic for gathering information if you need it overall always going to be a strong pick you can't go wrong with Grim habana is next habana is probably the worst heart breacher i mean she's really only good for like basement sites where you have to get a bunch of hatches but even then you can just bring two ops with hard breach tools and then get their abilities on top so I'm not the biggest fan honestly I'm I'm going to put her in the very niche category i mean yes you have the extended range of the Excyros like the Selma charges but they just take so long to deploy you're at risk while using them right you have to pull out the big launcher shoot them choo choo and then activate them whereas Ace you're just b it's down just because of her load out and her speed if you don't play her like a primary hard breacher she's going to be a lot more effective i think like you bring the ace or the thermite and then you also bring out Habana and now you have that versatile hard breaching ability but I really think they should do something about her to make her hard breaching like more effective or at least like quicker like some sort of ace treatment to her where like you kind of use them on the fly without like the big risk of pulling it out waiting for them to go down and then activating them yeah C would have been too low so we'll put her here jana is next tiana ARX great for the coastline aqua balcony repel you just go invisible if you guys saw my 25 R six tips video that mosquito is still alive i didn't actually killed it it turns out great for uh the coastline repel cuz her white head that's that's you know that's a very niche situation but you have a a great weapon you have a gone six if you need it you have smoke grenades or EMPs for playmaking plus you have like infinite clones infinite clones you know obviously they have to recharge but you can get gather more and more information you can bait with the clone i actually really like Jana i think she's um I think she's decent overall you know really good information especially in that team environment but it's also great for solo Q you know if you run out of drones you can still gather information i think she I had her like F or D last time but I've been playing her more and more and I've realized like it's just not right to have her this low like she is a good pick and overall like you can't really go wrong picking her i'm going to put her low B iq is next iq a lot of people will pick IQ every single round and then be completely useless with her i think IQ is best in these niche circumstances where they have the echo they have the Valk there's things that you just can't find and you want to get rid of that's when you bring IQ you don't pick her every round and run around with the commando and grenades and be like I'm fast and have gun that's that's that's how you don't get better at the game sorry I'm I'm chill overall I'd say she's on the weaker side though and uh just just very niche and you don't need her all the time jackal is next jackal got nerfed in CX i think he's almost garbage i I wouldn't pick him at all anymore i mean if you want to take down a Rome clear pick Damos you know pick Dokabe these are operators who are fantastic fantastic for roam clearing and more jackal gives you one ping now and you have to spend most of your time looking at the ground smelling people's toes hoping to catch a scent you know what I mean so most of the time you're not even like engaged ready for rumbers because you're too busy aiming at the ground which is not ideal it's a high-risisk situation where you're going to get shot in the face looking around for toes all the time okay i I just don't recommend him he's not completely useless uh he of course still has a good gun and smoke grenades and stuff but his ability is just it's just really really hard to justify now especially cuz it's it's worse than it was before next up we have Jagger who now catches Cappy towbolts and gridlocks woo unfortunately those operators are still only C tier so it's also another niche circumstance catching those guys but yeah no uh he covers a lot of space he makes a lot of space safer to play i think he's uh he's decent he's a decent overall operator now he you know you don't need him all the time he's good against certain lineups but you can't really go wrong i've heard that his recoil is uh more manageable this season i don't know if that's true or not maybe they changed it maybe they didn't i'm not your news source for that go look up a coconut bra YouTube video or something or Varsity Gaming he probably knows that guy knows lowkey I love Varsity Gaming i wish I was his wife my wife all right uh am I just a soundboard dude like what am I not even a person anymore cade is next cad's S tier best wall denial in the game you can cade trick banana thatcher banner Thatcher it's going to be so hard to get the cades right they have to bring EMPs secondary EMPs that is and throw them in the right locations you can counter Cali with the cades if you do the invincible cades so if you want to really really keep two reinforcements like one specific wall shut Kade is going to almost guarantee that if they don't bring a Thatcher if you play him right if you don't want to play them like that you can just play them for wall now like bandit and then they still don't know where the cage claw is whether it's high or low and they still have to waste their utility for it and try to find it and it wastes even more time and then you can still trick a wall and there's just so much you can do with them to keep those walls shut then you have the TCSG or the AUG and a C4 which are both really good as well to me that sounds like an operator who's always going to be strong so I'm going to put him in the S tier next up we have Calli and I think Callie is actually not as bad as usual i think with the new band system or something about the new like hit rag with the limb damage I think she's gotten more consistent like the sniper rifle actually kills people at least I've found the few times I've played her that's the case i uh also really like her for rushing if you want to just blast on barricade and go with the secondary SMG like very effective you know and then you can maybe get some wall denial destroyed depending if they're running those those certain cage spots or the bandits or whatever you can keep breaking the bandits which is nice too i think she is um weak overall still like there's definitely better picks than Cali but in those very neat circumstances she can actually be really good so Callie's going to make it to the C tier which is unheard of from a pox unlocked tier list but here she is plus you got smokes for playmaking and I've seen some nice Cali things going around so W capan is next and uh Capan actually got a buff in Cax i don't know if you knew this capan got a buff you can now get insta kills with one cap can trap if you place them on doorways next to gas pipes that will insta kill people meaning you only have to invest one cap can in those doorways potentially killing a person so you could potentially have three lethal doorways or more depending on how many pipes are on the map where you know you get a pipe kill and then you get a triple cap can setup kill which will kill any operator then you get another pipe kill so you get up to three kills now with the traps which is really good uh I've been playing a lot of cap having a lot of success on them i actually think Cap Cam is an S tier operator and you say "Oh well you can just shoot the C cap cans and then he's useless." While you're right it also means they have to develop a play style of slowing down checking all their doorways so you're forcing them into a play style that they might not be comfortable playing which is why he's so good plus you got a great gun and you got you know barb wire for info which is great or whatever bp doesn't really matter great secondary gun i think his loadout's pretty solid he can do a lot he's a good operator trust me bro i don't have to explain this to you peasant just kidding dude i know how big your wiener is next up we have Legion operator with a bunch of goo mines throw them everywhere figure out all the info and then you got shotgun for sight setup then you got T5 legion is going to be an operator who is always strong he's going to be strong on every bomb site he's so good plus shields you know he's great against shields too there you go that's that enough makes him S tier all right just kidding it wasn't enough for Ella but he's going to be He is going to be an Sierra operator now we have Lion i think Lion is the most overhyped operator in the game which is why he is not going to be in the S tier he is not even going to be in the A tier he's not even going to be in the B tier but he's going to be in the C tier because people think Lion is good just by using his ability but Lion's ability isn't good on its own you have to do it with good timing around a good team and while your team is pushing and playing together or you have information on someone they're stuck somewhere and you use that line scan to your advantage because it's such a short window that most of the time if you just pop the line scan it's not actually doing anything i think a lot of people misuse lying and play them actually like really poorly and then they're just like I'm doing something but you're not doing something do that with Fina if you do that with Fina you're actually doing something cuz you're healing your teammates and you're giving them a buff right but if you're just popping lines scans out the ass you're not doing anything okay so I'm going put them in in very niche uh I think gridlock honestly is better not Cali though we'll put him we'll put him above Cali okay Maestro is next maestro is really good uh lots of info you can do damage you can get rid of the their info right by shocking the drones i think he's on the same level as Ekko not quite as strong with as Ekko but the same play style the same strength the same amount of underratedness i think Maestro is on that list bravo is obviously a big downside you know what i'm going to have to move him to the B tier just because of Bravo he's a lot easier to counter with the Bravo drones than an echo right it's harder to find those echo drones but the mro cams they have to be on a wall they have to be on the floor you're going to see them with the drones cuz they're very obvious right whereas Echo can be all over the place you know once you drone it out it can't move around the map so you're going to just drive your Bravo drone over and hack it ta the tier list is a bit bigger now surprise maverick is next maverick is an operator a hard breacher to be more specific who has no counter yeah you can tubaro him and slow him down okay you can C4 him okay you can C4 anyone if you have one teammate watching the map hole you're not getting C4 if you can hear the C4 rip you can run away with no counter the M4 flashbangs he's he's kind of OP he's kind of OP he's not always strong because he's not good on every single bomb site but on the bombsite he is which is most of them he's going to be really really good bluey is an operator with four wubs that's a ton of info anyone on your team can play off of them to get kills which is you know a massive advantage if they're slowed down you can just stop watching areas because that's She's just so She's so good she's so good she's S tier guys obviously Melissa's S tier i think she's even better than Legion yeah is she better than Vener not quite not quite this is where she is she's sop MP5 is a great weapon you got the secondary shotgun as well the impact so you can counter shields she's just so good to stop that aggressive play style and even if they are playing aggressive you know they still have to clear all the wubs which isn't easy when there's four of them right there's so much to deal with there and so much utility really just always strong always strong meera is next meera is so good dude obviously there's a lot of counters to her there's there's Ash there's Twitch but if you're bringing the Mai you're bringing the Yeah you're bringing the Mew whatever there's a lot of ways to not get countered or you're pocketing the mirrors and you're putting them down a little later so that they can't deal with them at that point i think there's so many good mirror strategies i would put Mirror in the S tier because I do think you could play her on any site and she's going to be super good but I'm put in the A tier just because arguably there are sites where she is just way stronger um but if you're bringing them on the Rome you're throwing them down on soft walls on the fly there you can mirror trick you can trick ace charges with them so there's a lot you can do i do think she's on this kind of level with these operators and really if you're playing anyone in the S tier or the A tier like you're gonna be you're gonna be set like you can play any of these operators at any time and you're gonna have a lot of success monty is next monty is like the shield that's like why why wouldn't you just pick the other shields in my opinion i just find Blitz and Blackbeard are so much better uh if you're just playing them with a little bit of cover monty of course you can gather a lot of information and then again with the Fina he's going to be super good you could argue him for S tier but I personally would put him in the A tier i still think he's an exceptionally strong operator he's he's going to be consistently strong there's some sites where I would probably pick him less right so so I wouldn't pick him all the time he's not like very niche or anything but he's I'm not going to pick him all the time but over the course of every map and every site you're consistently getting some good strength out of Monty but not to the point where he's overpowered so I'm going to put him in the A tier that's all I have to say i guess mute is broken yeah Mute's OP he counters like [ __ ] half the operators at least plus all the drones of all the operators which I feel like I say every time I talk about me is like he counters everyone to a certain extent and then other people even more right and a lot of the people he counter is in these high rated operators like Doabe like Grim like Blitz like Ace kind of so that he's just so good at countering so many good operators that he has to be S tier on that alone plus you have a shotgun SMG11 combo plus C4 he's gonna be good on every single site all the time mutes a band that I'm surprised we don't see more often but he's also an operator I'm surprised we don't see in every single round and I think that's just because people don't like his load out they don't like that he's a one speed uh I do think he's one of the best defenders maybe the best defender in the game i'm going to put him a Blackbeard honestly I think right now he is the best operator we have on this list and I'm pretty sure he's got a huge cut mazi is like to me I picture Mazi as this combination of Echo Valkyrie and Mute combined but just worse than all of them in every way you have the capability to stop drones like Mute but like they don't do anything else than stop a couple drones and then you get the drones and you can drive them around like Ekko which is great but then they're kind of hard to hide and then you can kind of use the drones with the C4 like Valk but you are spending so much time just placing these drones and like repositioning them and you're usually roaming with them so you're in a spot that's not even safe to drone in and you might get shot in the side of the head while you drone so I'm I'm a bit of a Mozzy hater also you just have like two of the most garbage defender weapons right the Commando the defense commando that is and then the Rooney and they're like both kind of bad like I'm just not I'm just not I'm just a hater bro knock is next and luckily for you we finally have an operator for the garbage tier knock in my opinion is the worst operator in the entire game let's think about her gun the FMG9 horrible this gun is the worst attacking gun right it's an SMG on attack it's not good okay it's got some weirdass recoil on PC i don't know if the console players like it and then you got her ability okay and this is this is really why I think Knock is garbage you can use her ability to sneak past the cameras except you still make sound you still make noise when you're walking past the cameras so they still know that you're there i think she's can be like very niche in pro league n ranked though outside of that like they're probably not getting on the cams anyway guys let's be real they're probably not anyway and uh she's garbage okay moving on nomad is next nomad ooh I like Nomad cuz then I can put them down on the flanks [ __ ] if you're using Nomad aggressively if you're shooting them at the defenders you're air jabbing people launching them out of cover she's a better Cappy tow in that circumstance you're trying to flame bolt people out of cover nomad them bro then when they can't even run from an air jab they just get tossed to the side they can't even shoot back then you're just killing them while they're sitting on the ground better cappy town you know what I'm saying plus you have two flashes so you can air jab a bunch of stuff flashbang some stuff and then push in now all of a sudden a bunch of things are covered at the same time they're distracted you're making noise and you're pushing and then you have the ARX to shoot them in the face exceptional operator consistently strong not quite S tier back oh cooked i cooked them boys not quite an Sierra operator like not OP but consistently strong is definitely the words I would use for Nomad orics is next my biggest problem with Orics is that I don't even use his dash to sight set the sight up because I don't like taking the damage so I just use my baift why am I really playing Orex well I can evade from cover i can you know get like get a lot of space get away a lot quicker which is nice that is a nice perk i personally wouldn't pick him i'd personally pick another operator he's not completely useless uh you know you do have that flank capability you have the dash capability you have the T5 which is nice and the baiff of course i I find it hard to justify picking him over other operators osa next osa is very niche i think OSA is only really good on some sites he does have good guns though and grenades which I do like i I do like that i question is do I want to put her with Capito no I think she is a level above Capito i think she she's decent overall pulse is an operator that has a lot of info very good if you're laying info for your team i think overall he is a little weaker than most operators it can be difficult to like play him right and even then I'm like h just I I don't know if I want to pick pulse you know what I mean he is he is pretty niche sight dependent of course i just think there's better picks most of the time so I'll put him in top of Ctier ram is next ram's really good ram's really good there's a lot more you can do with Ram than just bust open floors okay you could bust open windows very quickly uh so playing RAM on a repel also love it playing RAM for sound cover very loud also love it so if you're planting a ram charge is enough to cover the sound of a plant which is really nice they don't even know you're planting i think Ram's an operator who is consistently strong i think you can play on almost every site uh and be useful you have the R4C of course um and I would put her a tier there you go rook is next you get armor packs you get plus 20 health everyone goes down and I think that's the biggest part about Rook everyone gets the down but not out so you can tank a grenade you can sit on a grenade and you'll still just go down and then you can self-revive so if you're in a position that is a real strong anchor position and you don't want to run from a grade you can technically just tank it and sit there and hold that position still which is kind of cool uh and I do like that fact that you get extra health i He's not completely useless most of the time he's not going to be like super gamechanging super effective but I I personally wouldn't pick him over Doc like I would just rather have the Doc so I'm going to put him in the in the D tier just above Orics i think he's better than Orics sense is next sense is is I like the sense buff but still not great like sense is still not great but you can cause a lot of chaos i've seen some plays in like in competitive and pro league where where sense is super super effective like in a team a coordinated team environment extremely effective and crazy crazy strong because you can't see through it with the warden or the bulletproof EMP so there's almost nothing you can do besides break them right i think though sight dependent team dependent depending on who you're playing sense is going to be very niche i'm putting I'm putting sense in the C tier there you go sentry is next i have some things to say about sentry commando bad we all know this we've already been over it okay commando bad and then you have two secondary abilities like impact C4 sure i guess you can kind of counter shields but like or you could just pick Ella or someone else with impacts in a C4 and you probably have a lot more luck even the C4 itself isn't that great for dealing with shields i think Sentry is garbage i just I don't see a point of picking two secondary abilities over a primary operator ability and another secondary i mean you could probably convince me for Dtier but I I genuinely think sentry is just garbage and I'd rather have a different operator like sledge i mean different side of the game but still better probably the worst soft breach just because it is a lot slower to sledgehammer something and then pull your gun back out so even if you want to like quickly go through a wall you have to hit the hammer put it on your back then pull your gun out it's like okay but you can sledgehammer Clash which doesn't do much honestly i think Sledge is a little weak overall i mean great beginner op there's a lot you can learn from playing Sledge but um not in the greatest spot right now I guess smoke's next on the board smoke is an operator who is always going to be strong you can play smoke on every single site if you get good with smoke super super super powerful playmaking operator great for countering if you're if you're experiencing a lot of direct takes and smoke plants and stuff like that you can just fully counter all of their utility with one smoke grenade uh he's great for solo Q you can bring him on a Rome don't be scared a lot a lot smoke can do and I'm a big fan i am going to put him in the S tier soloulless is next is Soloulless garbage this is the question nerf after nerf Solless's ability itself very weak you know uh Solless Yeah I I just wish they would fix her i wish it was like pulse almost where you could keep it on all the time right instead of seeing heartbeats you're saying utility which is not as important right it's just not as important to see their drones as seeing where exactly they are right it's a lot easier to kill people like this it's a lot easier to playmaking and gather info like this solless is uh I wouldn't pick her really like I wouldn't pick her over most operators unless I really really needed to but then you got the P90 which is like the great part about her like one of the only good parts about her p90 SMG if you want to run the shotgun you can but it's a piece of crap and you don't have the impacts for the plays from below so even playing below the bomb site she's going to be pretty inconsistent too i'll put her like here she's still Dtier either way i wouldn't pick her striker is next we know sentry is garbage is striker as well that is the question well not quite here's the thing coordination on attack is way harder than coordination on defense because attackers have to coordinate their abilities at the same time and be in the same locations for it defenders can just plop their stuff down and be like "Now we're coordinated." Right you put down all your traps and you put down your barb wire now you're like "Okay we got the sight set up we're coordinated we're good." But the attackers have to actually coordinate their abilities together to achieve map control and to get into the building and take space they have to be able to do that striker can do that by him herself himself i think Sentry is a dude striker's herself so you can bring EMP hard breach tool and you can open a wall by yourself you can make flashbangs and grenades and flashbang and grenade a person out of a position by yourself you can burn the utility yourself you can burn the ADS's and then grenade yourself right so with striker you can do so much on your own that you that's just consistently going to be a good pick for you which is why I'm putting striker in the A tier and not the F tier tonka is next another famously garbage operator is not going to be in the garbage tier for one reason and that's the LMG i mean or even the 9x19 VSN if you go straight off load out that gun is crazy like that's the best ACOG defender weapon in the game i think the 9 by19 VSN is so good with an ACOG it's just it's just that gun's so good without an ACOG and then you give it an AOG but I really think you should be using the LMG because the LMG is so good for sight setup not only that but just playmaking that you can pop a hatch instantly and fall through you can make a hole in the wall and shoot your fire through it if you really want i still wouldn't pick Tachanka but he's not completely useless simply because of that LMG and there's some very very niche circumstances where the fire is actually worth pulling out but the reason I say it's not other than that is because it doesn't do a lot of damage has a very small sphere or radius so you have to find a spot where it's like they are stuck in this very specific location and if I fire them they have to move out of cover and then I can shoot them and that's really the only time when the fire is good it's not good for time stall they can run through it and take barely any damage don't use it for that if that's working it's because the other team is dumb either way I still wouldn't pick them and that's not because I'm bad with the chunka it's because you're bad with the chunka thatcher is next thatcher's seen a lot of good use lately I think is he good every single round no is he decent most of the time yeah is he very niche no i think I don't think he's really niche i think he's just situational let's say and when he is used he's he's he's really good you know he's good i'm going to put him here above Doc he also might be getting the rework i I hope not i hope it is fused but we'll see next we have Thermite thermite is the best close range hard breacher outside of Maverick if depending on the circumstance it's so funny because like the hard breaches are have all their own strengths except for maybe Habana really but thermmites is like big holes you know you like a big hole i think consistently he's going to be pretty strong though especially cuz you can use them for like opening floors if you really need i think the the key to thermite is knowing when you need to just do something else don't sit on the wall forever hoping your teammates manage to get rid of the wall denial in the last 30 seconds but go somewhere else try to open something else try to open a hatch try to open a floor try to use those thermites as much as you can and then you have a great load out to back it up so I think he's just this operator it's like yeah Thor is next he has a good gun thorn traps are horrible i mean thorn traps are just so horrible they give you information but you get the information like 3 seconds later cuz they take so long to actually you know activate if you're on console she might be a little better i don't even think she's weak overall they're very niche i think she's like not completely useless but I wouldn't pick her or recommend picking her with that being said uh I do think she's maybe better than Rook thunderbird is next thunderbird is still bad doc and it's because of a few reasons firstly they only do 20 HP plus heal over time so you get that instant 20 HP which is not a lot and then you got to wait for longer and longer to actually get charged up if you're getting into a gunfight the chances are you're probably still going to be in that gunfight a little bit sooner and if you're not then you have to run back to sight if you're not on site get the stim crossing who knows how many attacker lines of sight and potentially coming to other threats along the way and then getting the stim and then having to wait longer and then getting back into the fight so there's so much time just lost with Thunderbird that I don't like and you can destroy them so you they can just get twitched they can just get hacked by Bravo and destroyed they can just get nated you can't break a doc stem yeah if dog dies he dies with the stims but is your dog dying let's be honest he's probably hitting 4ks and 5ks every round he's not dying and when he does need to stem he's instantly stemming himself even if you trick the Kona stations it still takes time to pick him up and put him down and yeah you can heal yourself yeah you can pocket one but then you know then there's only two in other spots and you got to get to those spots and she's just so messy she's so messy when you compare her to Doc i would say she is Dtier she's not garbage but I would not pick her because of the reasons I just mentioned and I do think that you know out of all these operators in the Dtier she is still the worst of them tubaro is next freezing walls DMR ACOG pretty nice c4 you can counter a lot of things with the uh canister i think he's uh consistently strong like you could probably pick him on every site and you'd be like "Yeah it's a he's like a pretty good pick." And then you get the wall denial site you're like "Oh he's actually like he's actually pretty strong here he's not OP he's not always going to be strong but he's going to be consistently strong and consistently effective so I'm putting him in the A tier twitch is next twitch has been consistently strong as well lately i mean there's so many operators that she's good against and then you have the 417 DMR which is like just tears through people or you could use the F2 hey if you like the F2 I'm not a hater i just personally love the 417 you have the twist drones you can almost like clear paths into the site you can get rid of the default cams you can you know they're quick they just zap you can just break stuff you can even counter mute if you drive it to the right side of the doorway and get rid of the mute jammer so you can get a lot of value out of those Twitch drones and I've been seeing a lot of Twitch play lately and I think that's just because there are a lot of you know good operators right now that she does counter so I'm gonna I'm gonna put her in the A tier just here above Meera valkyrie is next three cameras tons of info is she OP though no I don't think she's OP i think Valkyrie that's consistently strong there are certain risks to using her but the sheer amount of info and the amount of places you can put these cameras is kind of ridiculous especially if they don't have the IQ and even with the IQ a lot of time the IQ is not in the position to actually figure out where they are so even then the Valkcams are still useful i think she's just really an operator that is just really good and consistently strong and you could play on pretty much any site and she's going to be useful i am going to put her in the A tier just above Nomad you know what having Damos here just doesn't seem right like Damos is just he's just he's just S tier he's just s he's better than Ash what am I doing i'm so silly dude damos is so good i I got to put him I got to put him here below Grimm i got to I'm sorry vigil is next though i think Vigil might be the most overhyped operator but also one of the like more annoying defenders like if you're attacking like you don't want to have to deal with the vigil like the vigil is annoying you're like ah why are they bringing the vigil and you can't even deos track them and you're like ah dude just like don't pick vigil stop playing the boss you can just hold angles and just pump one pump chumps who come around the corner unsuspecting and it is annoying it is annoying i I really don't think he's like the best though you know what if they're just like not droning that well and then you can just play someone else i don't have a lot of cases against them i just don't think he's as strong as people make him out to be which is why I would put him like B like I think he's still good you know he's decent he's decent overall good for roaming and then that and then that's pretty much it so I'll put him in a B tier well Maya is next you got uh you got some okay guns they're okay the pretty good the MP5 is pretty good you know I I like them both they're okay yeah he's like decent he's like decent you could play him on every site and you'll be like "Yeah I just think there's a lot of times where it's like oh they're actually just not throwing anything so my is kind of useless." In that case it's like "Okay I wish I picked someone else." Overall though he's like Jagger he's like Joerger i think I honestly think Joerger might be a bit better now uh that he counters Cap as well he is decent he is decent i think of my It's kind of like Thermite you think of the like "Yeah." You think of my You're like "Yeah right." You see the difference you know the difference warden is next warden is SMG12 is great shotgun SMG12 combo is really great uh I think Warden's really nice i mean Warden's nice for holding down specific areas and making it so even if you get flashed even if you get smoked you still dominate that spot so Warden is a control operator you can control specific locations with his ability which is really nice but my point overall is that overall he's kind of weak like his his ability is niche so he's this very niche operator where he can thrive but overall really you're just picking him for the SMG12 and that's like yeah it's a good gun but there's lots of good guns guys you can be good with all the guns i do think he's better than Calav uh and probably better than Ella i think Eli is still better though so I'm put him in Ctier now we have Yingaling Ding Dong ying shotgun kind of nice ying LMG I also still like uh I'm a big I'm a big fan i'm a big fan of Ying i think Ying is still still pretty underrated just not used enough i mean the more you play Ying I just think you'll really learn to love her like she's just so effective at taking space and forcing your way in to places that uh yeah she's just consistently strong you can pick her on basically every site i'm going to throw her in the A tier just above Ram zero is next if you've been a subscriber of the Fox Unlock channel for a while you know I kind of hate Zero i'm kind of a Zero hater which is why he's going to be in garbage no I'm just kidding zero is an operator that like you get six cameras and while yes you get six cameras it's like you got six cameras you know how hard it is to cycle through cameras when you have like 10 drones on the board and six zero cams it's like you don't know where you're what you're looking at and where you're looking just understanding the cameras itself is is difficult like it's difficult to manage six cams at once and most of them are being pretty much useless so yes you can get the cams into specific spots to hold specific areas or you could just use the two drones that you have to gather enough information that you can still do the thing you want to do in the first place so why dedicate your entire operator ability to do it but I still think overall he's just weak like it it takes too much time you're baiting like 99% of zero players are baiters if you play him absolutely optimally all the time even then I still think he's a very niche pick and there's going to be better operators so I don't love him yes I am a zero hater he is going to be worse than Capito still you know I wouldn't do you guys that dirty with Capito but uh worse than IQ worse than Gridlock better than Lion there you go zofhia is next zophia is actually really good i think Sophia is really good this season i I I find that the AR is actually really really good these days you have two stuns you have two impacts that's a lot of utility you got the claymores or hard breach tools which is also a lot of utility using the launcher like Capile can be a little risky depending on what you're doing with it a lot of the time you can uh shoot the stuns up over stuff so you can shoot them upwards so that you're not exposing yourself as much which is nice so I would say Zofhia is actually a tier right now uh the stuns are so good for gathering information or just stunning people before you push right it's messing with their sound they can't pre-fire you as easily you're just gaining an advantage instantly in the gunfights when you do use it if you run out drones and you need the info a quick Sophia launcher is very effective at gaining it i really like Sophia i'm going to put her low A but A tier scopos bot is next i mean Scopos alone her gun alone is super nice right that gun is just I think that's probably the best defender weapon in the game no recoil so much damage on that thing that thing is a laser beam bro i feel like I win every single gunfight with that thing her map control is very dominant you can start on the Rome waste a bunch of time you can roam in places you wouldn't typically be able to roam and then you can waste time potentially get kills and then just teleport back to site oh you're about to get screwed over cuz they've completely pinched you and pin you down see you i'm back on the bomb site psych i think I think honestly I think Scopus is really underrated i'm going to put her in the A tier as well i think Scopus is really really good these days raw Aurora on the board rurora is kind of cheeks very I would say very niche operator which makes you think oh he's going to put her in the C tier but even then when she's very niche she's like still so mid like it's like yeah I' I've used her for this one site cuz we can actually put them on the doorways for this site and be kind of good but even then it's still kind of weak cuz they'll just get impacted or Oric's dash or like I don't know I I personally would not pick Rora i don't think she's completely useless but I would not pick her and I don't think you should put her above Tonka though and finally we have Clash you can now sprint with the shield you can crouch with the shield you can vault out windows with the shield you can smash through barricades with the shield you can place the shield you can trick the shield so even when you place it they try to go and six it you can pick it up or they ash it and you can pick it up cuz you can p predict what they're going to do you can bait people by placing it and instantly picking up there's so there's so many ways to play this operator she's good for the team she's counters all the shields she can just she can peek off her shield she can choose what gunfights to take cuz she can place the shield clash is so broken literally made this operate the most broken operator in the game and I see your comments and you guys comment some of you com some of you comments I know most of you guys are like yeah Clash is broken then there's some of you who are like you're you're just a whiner they're not good you're just a whiner and to you people there are so many ways around things that you might think make her not good that you might not know about and if you knew about those things and were able to add them to your gameplay you would also realize that she is broken so because of that Clash is the best operator in the game she's going to be in the S tier and that's my tier list for Cjexs let me know what you think in the comments you know boost that engagement give me some comments baby and we'll see you tomorrow boys i upload every day peace
