Rainbow Six Siege has a diverse set of operators, each of whom plays a key role in the defense. To make it easier to choose the best characters, we have created a Tier List that divides all defenders into 5 categories based on their effectiveness in the current objective. The operators are rated by their impact on the game, usefulness to the team, and versatility.

What is the Tier List and how did we categorize the defenders?

• S-Tier are the strongest agents who are winners in the current objective. They are always worth choosing due to their exceptional efficiency and versatility.
• A-Tier are powerful operators that perform well in most situations. They are not always the best, but they consistently fulfill their role.
• B-Tier - good all-around characters who can be effective but need certain conditions to be maximized.
• C-Tier - agents with limited effectiveness. They can fulfill their role, but are inferior to others due to weaknesses.
• D-Tier - the weakest defenders at the moment. Their choice is not recommended due to irrelevance or limited usefulness.

D-Tier Defenders

Clash

Clash is the only defender with a shield, but its low speed and limited defense benefit make it a weak choice.

C-Tier Defenders

Caveira

Caveira is effective only in the hands of experienced players, as her Silent Step and Interrogation are difficult to implement.

Ela

Grzmot Mines cause problems for attackers, but Ela has become less effective due to balance changes.

Oryx

Oryx has great mobility thanks to Remah Dash, but its ability is often risky.

Tachanka

While Shumikha Launcher deals significant damage, it is difficult to execute in fast-paced play.

Vigil

Vigil blocks drones thanks to ERC-7, but its role is limited to distraction.

B-Tier Defenders

Alibi

With Prisma, Alibi misleads enemies by creating false targets.

Bandit

Bandit controls walls with Shock Wire, but its effectiveness is limited due to new counter-operators.

Castle

Armor Panels allow you to block entrances, but are easily countered by many attacking gadgets.

Doc

Doc remains reliable thanks to Stim Pistol, which allows him to heal himself and his team.

Frost

Welcome Mats Frost are great for catching reckless opponents.

(Other B-Tier: Goyo, Maestro, Melusi, Mozzie, Pulse, Rook, Sentry, Smoke, Thorn, Thunderbird, Tubarão, Warden, Skopós)

A-Tier Defenders

Aruni

Aruni uses Surya Gates to block passages and deal damage to enemies, allowing for effective space control.

Echo

Yokai drones can disorient the enemy with ultrasonic waves, interrupting bomb placement and delaying the attack.

Fenrir

Fenrir has become a real threat thanks to F-NATT Dread Mines, which limit the view of attackers, making them easy to neutralize.

Kaid

Kaid and his Electroclaw are a key choice for blocking hatches and fortified walls.

Kapkan

EDD's Kapkans are simple but effective at stopping careless attackers while dealing significant damage.

Mute

Mute blocks reconnaissance and drones with Signal Disruptor, which is especially useful for preventing planting and coordinating attackers.

Solis

Solis can track attackers' gadgets with its SPEC-IO Electro-Sensor, which provides valuable information.

Wamai

Wamai with Mag-NET devices is an alternative to Jäger, catching grenades and changing their trajectory.

S-Tier Defenders

Jäger

The Jäger is a versatile defender thanks to its ADS devices that neutralize grenades and projectiles. Its high mobility and accurate weapons allow it to effectively control rotations and key points on the map.

Mira

Black Mirror provides excellent control over defense points. Thanks to this device, the team is able to control critical angles or pixels for shooting.

Valkyrie

Valkyrie provides an intelligence advantage with its Black Eye cameras. These cameras provide information about enemy movements, ensuring precise team coordination.

Azami

Azami uses Kiba Barriers to quickly block lines of fire or create additional protection. This allows you to adapt fortifications and counter aggressive attacks.

Lesion

Lesion with Gu Mines is great for zone control. Mines deal damage, slow down the enemy, and provide information about their movements.

The Rainbow Six Siege operators in this Tier List will help you better understand their relevance and effectiveness. Use S- and A-Tier for maximum impact on the game, and leave C- and D-Tier for experiments or specific situations. With this list, you can confidently choose the best defenders and dominate every round!
