With no prep phase for the defenders, be ready for the
attackers to jump into the objective very quickly, especially Amaru with her

Iana pairs well with entry fraggers as a helpful distraction to snatch an early kill. This means Iana is used as a support and typically will be alive later in the round.
However, Oryx hasn’t been particularly present in ranked matches. His ability seems like it would feature very well in higher-level play, but his loud jump makes it very noticeable when he tries to make a flank.
How have you found the new operators? How do you think
they’ll change the meta moving forward?
