Solis is the newest defender in Rainbow 6 Siege, but how good is she really? I think she is majorly underrated and even underutilized with most people playing her to deny the plant from above or below. There are way more things Solis can do that when combined together can make for easy kills and easy round wins. This how to will give you everything you need to be the best solis player you can be.

Great Solis breakdown. Glad we actually got a viable new operator after Grim.

You should definitely do a “5 best tips” series with all operators

Solis is extremely satisfying to play when catching a droning attacker off guard. I've had some successful plant denial plays too and my mistakes have been to stay below/above after the first denial. Next op will plant differently so important to return to site and deny through a wall or just simply by peaking. Good vid, thanks!

Flash fiesta and hurting everyone's feelings is such an accurate description. In all seriousness though this is one of the best tutorials I've seen in a while. He definitely thought very logically and thoroughly about the pros and cons of the gadget instead of just going with the widely accepted method of playing.

Thanks for the Solis video! I recently got it from the new year pack

Solis can basically be played instead/ with Pulse because they both can do the same work, locating enemies from below or upper floor.

Definitely Grim. I'd add to your idea though and say give him the Baliff as a secondary pistol and swap soft breach for hard breach gadget. Gives him his verticality still, while having more utility to bring. Other thing on his gadget is make it last longer. At least 10-15 seconds so cutting off an area ACTUALLY works.

I enjoy your breakdowns (saw this with your castle video). I help teach CQB (mostly BD6a I'm new) and relax playing siege time to time, it's clear you have experience. My instructors were scientific and assertive in their teaching style which I see here.

Very useful thx❤
I have been maining solis like for a year now, and i love runouts

I think if they made grims device like a hive so you shoot out a beehive that has a cloud of ai bees he uses. It will have the same use to show locations of enemies. The hive would work similar to Nomads airjab and would be used to watch flanks. He can place it how he wants, but it can still be countered if the hive is shot out. It can also have maybe a small yellow mist to make defenders think if they want to go through that way. Forcing them to either waste utility, get seen or find another route. Operators like Vigil however if his device is on could still pass through the mist unnoticed for example or solis would see it all round. Also the bees would of course have a one time use.

Grim's gadget should bounce on hard surfaces/barricaded walls, before releasing the swarm on the next surface giving it a way of getting around Azami barriers etc. Faster animation, and on soft surfaces it should bury into the surface and release both sides of the wall/floor for some verticality imo.

Using Solis with smg and shotgun is good for late game and what I mean by that is use her smg in the begining of the round and taper off to a combo of shotgun and smg at the end as most attacker will have been damaged and if not you got a great tool set with the the shotgun and smg combo. Impact are very helpful too vs a surprise shield op pick and has won me lots of battles vs them. I solo most of my games so I haven't played her much like pulse. Valk and solis in duo to ensure I can actually be under where the plant push is otherwise I just wind up screwing around below a site for no reason

[chasmendy]

The grownadult gamertag goes so hard. Great vid pox

[Kreau]

Ubi: due to an increase in Solis use, we're giving the drones more health, reducing thermite's explosion radius, and making Montagne into a 3 speed

[mrxzie]

You really inform in an entertaining way, thanks man

[robertgray]

Solis is my fav defender, I like ace but I just hate the ak 12 it’s recoil is like a parapalegic rat trying to dance for a dying lemur

[maxpaulus]

I'm still learning siege and your videos are helping so much

[boondogglet]

poxie uploads are the best. plus its christmas eve. even better

solis only sucks when the quiet solo queue player takes her and immediately dies trying a runout.

[davidgonzales]

If you already know most maps and roam heavy learn this op! This has been my favorite new op in years! They'll next her so enjoy while you can 💪
