A-Site: Z-Axis Focus

Understanding A-Site Offense:

A-Site’s vertical layout demands careful consideration of above- and below-ground threats. Attackers need to meticulously secure entry points to avoid unpredictable engagements.

• Prioritize A-Tower: Control of A-Tower is paramount, offering a commanding view. Neutralizing this point is vital for a successful A-Site push.
• Secure A-Long: Employ smokes to mask your advance and limit defender visibility. Clearing the path from A-Long is key.
• Control A-Short: Neutralize threats from above and below to enable a safe advance. Clearing the flanking positions is crucial.
• Secure A-Link: Dominating A-Link prevents flanking maneuvers, connecting A-Short to A-Site and B-Site.
• Utilize A-Tower Garage: This area becomes a valuable post-plant position to create surprise opportunities.

Understanding A-Site Defense:

Defending A-Site centers on controlling key vantage points, particularly A-Tower.

• A-Tower Domination: A sniper with a powerful weapon (like Operator or Marshal) can disrupt attacks from A-Long and A-Short.
• A-Tower Garage Ambush: Turn the garage into a trap for attackers post-plant.
• A-Link Defense: Maintaining control of A-Link prevents attackers from flanking your position.
• Strategic rotations: Hold A-Link and be ready for quick rotations to other sites.

B-Site: Essentially A Circle

Understanding B-Site Offense:

B-Site, a circular area, offers limited movement options for attackers. Focus on controlling crucial access points to the circular room.

• Mid Window Cues: Be aware of enemy snipers positioned at the Mid Window. Employ smokes to suppress their vision.
• Mid Courtyard Caution: The area leading to B-Site is open and offers hiding spaces for defenders in the crates. Use caution.
• Mid Doors Maneuvers: These are access points to C-Site. Be alert to flanking opportunities from the attacker side spawn.

Understanding B-Site Defense:

Controlling access points and ambush locations is essential to defend B-Site.

• B-Back Ambushes: This position provides great ambush opportunities, leading to quick rotations to other sites.
• Mid Courtyard as Ambush: Careful positioning in Mid Courtyard, even though exposed, can provide crucial defense against attackers.

C-Site: The Fight For C-Long

Understanding C-Site Offense:

C-Site, with its long sightlines, requires a coordinated offensive strategy to overwhelm the defenders.

• Simultaneous C-Long and C-Short/Window Attack: Attack from both directions to pressure defenders.
• Control C-Link: Preventing defender access from B-Site and Defender spawn is key.
• C-Cubby as Hideout: Utilize C-Cubby for a strategic post-plant hideout.
• C-Site Proper Ambush: Position yourself near the crates to catch enemies by surprise.

Understanding C-Site Defense:

Controlling crucial points, particularly C-Long, while efficiently utilizing limited defenders, is vital.

• C-Long Sniper Strategy: A well-placed sniper in C-Long can effectively deter attackers.
• C-Window Vantage Point: This position provides a great view of C-Short and an opportunity to block Mid Doors with Molotovs.
• Mid Door Defense: Eliminate threats entering via Mid Doors to prevent control of C-Site. Utilize detection capabilities.

Agents: Area Coverage Is A Priority

The ideal agents for Haven prioritize effective area coverage and strategic rotations.

• Omen: This controller excels at creating safe paths and quickly rotating between sites with his smokes and teleport.
• Cypher: This sentinel’s deployables like Spycams and Trapwires offer excellent intel and strategic control of areas.
• Sova: Sova’s Recon Darts are vital for gathering information and delaying enemy pushes.

Haven’s complexity rewards strategic rotations, tactical awareness, and well-coordinated teamwork. Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of each site, and agent strengths, will help you achieve success in Valorant Haven matches.
