Defending and retaking a site
StrategyLearn when to hold, when to delay and when to regroup for a retake.
Try this in your next match
At the start of a round, play a position where you can gather information and retreat.
When heavily outnumbered, delay the attackers with utility rather than seeking an isolated hero play.
Regroup with teammates, locate the planted Spike and clear the nearest angles.
Trade positions deliberately; a defuse attempt needs cover and timing.
Trying to defuse while opponents still control several nearby angles usually fails.
Improve one skill at a time, then revisit the guides for your favourite characters and weapons.
