Best Defenders in Rainbow Six Siege
A role-first look at choosing defenders, covering wall denial, intel, anti-gadget and roam.
Start with the wall
The hard breach is the attackers’ biggest investment. Bandit, Kaid and Mute stop it, while Mira and Azami reshape what the wall means. Most strong setups start here.
Add eyes and answers
Valkyrie, Maestro and Solis give your team information. Jäger and Wamai catch thrown utility, which protects your anchors from flashes and grenades.
Decide how you will hold time
Roamers such as Vigil, Oryx and Caveira burn attacker time. Area denial from Smoke, Tachanka and Goyo protects the plant late in the round.
