Defending Operators and their counterparts
By Taigh
{A useful Guide for once}
With the summer sale that has just recently passed at the time of writing this guide Siege saw a large influx of new players joining the community. This guide has been written to help these new community members learn to play the game to a better standard - by showing them the direct counter part to every defensive operator in the game (in my opinion), as of the 6th July 2017. This goes well with my other guide "Attacking Operators and their counterparts" (Linked at the bottom of the guide)

Frost works for the Canadian Organisation JTF2 and is a a 2 Armor and 2 Speed operator. Her unique gadget is the three "Sterling MK2 LHT "bear traps"" she has access to, they incapacitate enemies who walk over them and trigger them.


In my opinion there is no direct counter operator to Frost's "bear" traps, but the best way to counter them is to use a drone to scout out a room first and check for her deployed traps.

Valkyrie
Valkyrie for the American Organisation Navy SEALs and is a 2 Armor 2 Speed operator. Her unique gadget is the three Mk2
Gyro Cams she has access to - also know as "Black Eyes" - that can be thrown and attach to almost any surface. Allowing team mates to access them and spot enemies.

Caveira has 1 main counter:

1.Jackal:
Jackal's gadget allows him to track enemy footprints, which he can then scan to ping their location. Although Jackal cannot see Cav's footsteps while she is using her Silent Step ability.

Another way to counter cav though is to play any operator that has access to a claymore, which you can place down so if she unknowingly walks into she will be blown up and killed/injured.

Echo is apart of the SAT Organisation and is a 3 Armor 1 Speed operator. His unique gadger is a hovering "quadcopter drone" known as "Yokai", It can stick to flat surfaces on a cieling and cloak itself- where it can than emit ultrasonic blasts that disorient the enemy, as well as stopping them from undergoing actions such as planting a defuser.

Mira has 2 main operators:

1.Hibana:
Hibana has access to a 40mm grenade launcher that can fire explosive pellets onto or around the mirror that can then be detonated from a distance. When these pellets explode they destroy the mirror; allowing you to be able to shoot through.

i think Thatcher is a counter for echo too because his emp gradas have a high range and can easily get echos drones when they are flying and twitch too because u can see echos drone better in a drone
