Rainbow Six Siege: 10 Most Important Operators Players Need To Learn
5. Hibana
In a similar vein to Thermite, Hibana is capable of creating holes in walls that the defending team has reinforced. However, where Thermite is mostly used for granting attackers access to the site, Hibana is mostly used for creating lines of sight into the objective with her X-KAIRO pellets that can then allow the attacking team to pin their opponents down and grab some easy kills.
This strategy can be used to make the defending team uncomfortable by creating new and unexpected lines of sight.
That’s not to say that Hibana cannot be used to gain access to the objective, as she can combine a handful of her X-KAIRO pellets to create holes in walls or even breach through reinforced hatches above the objective. Hibana’s gadget can even be used to destroy Mira’s one-way mirrors, making her a good counter to the defensive operator should any nearby countermeasures be destroyed.
Bringing Hibana along on attack is never a bad option, even if there is already a Thermite (or Ace) on the team.
