Best Rainbow Six Siege Attack operators for Villa

Here are some of the Attackers who perform well in Villa across all the bombsites:

1) Zero

Zero is an underrated operator whose kit makes him a viable choice among attack operators for Villa. He brings a primary gadget dubbed the Argus Launcher, which allows him to place his cams on hard (unreachable) and soft (breachable) walls and floors. On the latter, this device can penetrate the wall and rotate to the other side. These can be placed on any nook and cranny of Villa to let attackers gain info and destroy defender utility.

This Argus camera can destroy defender setups by shooting a rechargeable laser on a utility that is laser sensitive, such as Volcan Canisters and Black Mirrors. Zero features two of the strongest attacker weapons in his arsenal, the SC3000K and the MP7, both equipped with a 2.5x ACOG. He also provides team utility in the form of Hard Breach Charges, Claymores, and the Gonne-6 Hand Cannon.

2) Ace

Ace is one of the best hard breach operators for Villa, thanks to his Selma charges being deployable from a safe distance, like outside of the maps. He can open Vault Wall from 90 window, Statue walls from Bedroom windows, and so on. He also brings arguably the strongest attacker gun, an AK-12 equipped with the 2.5x ACOG sight, which helps him take fights across a long distance.

Ace is arguably the best option for hard breaching compared to Hibana, Thermite, or Maverick thanks to his entire kit which also consists of an amazing gun, strong primary gadget, and important secondary utility. These secondary utilities include Claymores and Breach Charges. These allow Ace to take on a fragger role once he has used up all three of his Selma Charges.

3) Gridlock

She is one of the finest support operators for Villa (Image via Ubisoft)

She is one of the better flank watch operators for Villa thanks to her ability to trap out stairways, corridors, plant spots, and jumpouts. Villa is a CQB-themed map that allows her gadget, Trax Stingers to be highly effective in these scenarios. She brings four of these Trax Stingers, allowing for a lot of ground coverage.

She has two strong attacker weapons: the F90 AR and the M249 SAW LMG. Both are viable options and can be played; however, note that since Gridlock is one-speed three-armor, an LMG adding movement penalty can make her feel sluggish. Where she isn't sluggish is her choice of secondary gadgets, which allow her to bring Impact EMPs, Frag Grenades, or Smokes.

Best Rainbow Six Siege Defense operators for Villa

Intel and denial operators are primary choices when it comes to choosing the best Defenders on Villa.

1) Valkyrie

Valkyrie is one of the strongest intel operators for Villa on defense thanks to her ability to place her primary gadget cameras in any nook and cranny of the map. Villa is well-known for being CQB and has numerous spots to hide drones and gadgets. Therefore Valkyrie and her Black Eye cameras can supply intel on attackers and assist defenders.

She brings one of the community's favorite defender weapons to the table: the MPX SMG. It also comes alongside a D-50 secondary weapon, which helps Valkyrie open up angles through soft walls and floors. She further assists her team by packing either a Nitro Cell or two Impact Grenades, allowing her to use Anti-Vertical Nitro or Impact Trick.

2) Azami

Arguably one of the strongest defender operators for Villa (Image via Ubisoft)

Azami is one of the most versatile defender operators for Villa due to the fact that she can create cover and one-sided angles on the go at any point during a round. These covers can be created thanks to her primary gadget the Kiba Barriers, creating a bulletproof cover. These covers have a 999 health and can be destroyed by shooting. However, the advantages these Kibas provide far outweigh the effort attackers need to put in to take them out.

She brings one of the strongest defender weapons, the 9X19SVN SMG, which, alongside a D-50 as secondary, makes Azami quite lethal in CQB. She provides further benefits for the team by bringing high-priority secondary gadgets in the form of the Impact Grenade and Barbed Wire. These can help her Impact trick, or slow down attackers in entry or choke points

3) Frost

Frost is both an effective trapper and anchor (Image via Ubisoft)

Frost is one of the finest trapper operators for Villa. She brings one of the most inconspicuous gadgets, Welcome mats. These injure operators and put them in a Down But Not Out (DBNO) state. It also makes them vulnerable where they are unable to sprint and leave a blood trail wherever they go once revived.

These mats serve as good traps for all vaultable entry points. She brings the 9MM C1 SMG equipped with the 2.5x ACOG sight, allowing her to take fights across long ranges. She also brings the ITA12S secondary shotgun, making her a viable choice to make rotates, lines-of-sights, and overall site setup using soft destruction. Her secondary gadgets, Bulletproof Camera and Deployable shield further allow her to assist her team in defending a site.
