S tier — best picks
-
Edgar
Layered walls give easy jumps onto throwers, and lifesteal punishes isolated defenders.
-
Mortis
Fast blue-star access and wall-pocket dashes let him collapse on fragile backliners.
-
Tick
Mines blanket narrow approaches while walls keep him safe after securing a lead.
-
Mr P
Double-hit suitcases and porters pressure enemies stacked behind the map's layered walls.
-
Najia
Long throws and persistent snakes pressure enemies hiding behind Layer Cake's wall bands.
A tier — strong picks
B tier — solid picks
Best bans
-
Edgar
The dominant wall-hopping assassin here also deletes the throwers most drafts depend upon.
-
Mortis
Elite blue-star theft plus 17-counter breadth removes too many backline options.
-
Kenji
Strong wall-pocket pressure and 18-counter breadth make him a premium denial ban.
-
Penny
Her turret locks narrow retreats while 16-counter breadth punishes grouped defensive comps.
-
Chester
Fourteen-counter breadth and anti-aggro burst invalidate many assassin-heavy Layer Cake drafts.
