Sage setups: every map

On A defense, you place the Barrier Orb diagonally at the exit of the A Main corridor, just before the site, with one end against the corner of the corridor. The wall cuts the view and the direct path for attackers coming through A Main. It takes 2 s to fortify, has 400 HP per segment at first, 600 after, and lasts 40 s. Weakness: it only covers A Main, the other entrances to the site stay open.

On B defense, you place the Barrier Orb in the arch that links B Window to B Short, in line with the path. Seen from B Short, the wall hides one half of the arch, the other stays open. It takes 2 s to fortify, has 400 HP per segment at first, 600 after, and lasts 40 s.

You place the Barrier Orb on the southeast edge of A Site, right in front of the A Sewer exit. The creator breaks the front segment, then holds that line. He then walks into A Sewer to show that enemies only see the wall at the last moment, while you already have the angle on them. The wall takes 2 s to fortify, has 400 HP per segment at first, then 600, and lasts 40 s.

You place the Barrier Orb diagonally on the east side of A Site, toward the A Long entrance. The creator angles it until it connects to the scenery wall and talks about a one-way wall to play. In the clip, the crate on the site splits the wall into two panels. It takes 2 s to fortify and lasts 40 s.

On A defense, you place the Barrier Orb on the A Main side, one end against the small breakable door that leads to A Link. The creator says the wall blocks that door while leaving you a good angle toward CT (the defenders' spawn side), and he climbs on it to clear a small corner. It takes 2 s to fortify and has 400 HP per segment at first, 600 after.

On B defense, you place the Barrier Orb at the edge of the site, just in front of the B Main exit, across the path. The creator talks about gap walls to surprise attackers: he shows several variants, this one is the first, and recommends alternating them from round to round. The wall takes 2 s to fortify.

Place the Barrier Orb slightly rotated, at an angle in the northwest corner of B Main, in front of the choke that climbs to B Site. The creator calls it a "bait and switch": you take an angle from the top of the wall, drop back down, then hide in the little corner right next to it. He suggests asking for a smoke on the entrance so nobody comes looking for you.

On the crate in A Art, jump while crouched and place the Barrier Orb: the wall runs from the crate to the south, up to the door that leads to A Garden. Ask a teammate to close the door: as it drops, it breaks the wall segments underneath, and the wall in the room stays up. You can try an angle toward A Main from this wall, but the creator suggests holding the entrance instead and waiting for attackers to walk into your crosshair.

Once the spike is planted on A, break the switch to close the door, then place the Barrier Orb diagonally at the A Cave exit, northeast of the site. The creator calls this passage "CT": the wall closes it off. Since defenders cannot reopen the door, they have to come back through A Cave. You can climb on the wall to hold this passage from above.

As soon as the buy phase starts, place Barrier Orb on the spawn barrier, across the walkway east of A Elbow, and climb on it at its south end. Once on top, you can see A Lobby through the window. In matches, the creator spots enemies there at the start of the round. The wall lasts 40 seconds.

On A defense, you place the Barrier Orb at the exit of A Main, where the corridor turns toward the site. The wall starts at the edge of the corridor and blocks its exit: it cuts the view of attackers coming up A Main. It takes 2 s to fortify, has 400 HP per segment at first, 600 after, and lasts 40 s. Weakness: it only covers A Main.

On B defense, you block the top of B Main with the Barrier Orb, placed diagonally from one wall to the other, near the roll-up shutter. Attackers coming through B Main have to break it or change route to get onto the site. Weakness: the wall only covers B Main.

Place Barrier Orb along the low back wall of B Site, on the north side, then climb on top of it. From there you hold B Main over the foliage, and from the corridor the enemy can barely see more than your head. The wall lasts 40 seconds and takes 2 seconds to fortify.

When the attack comes through B Main, this wall closes off the choke that leads into the site at a diagonal. You stay in the site, behind the wall. The video creator sees it as an entrance block and a possible one-way, thanks to the sloped section of B Main since the 12.00 rework. The wall lasts 40 seconds.

At the bottom of the stairs that climb from A Link to A Site, place the Barrier Orb west to east, in line with the steps: the wall starts under your feet and lifts you up. The creator says it is the same idea as his first wall: stand higher than where attackers peeking from A Main aim. He then shows the view from A Main. The wall lasts 40 seconds.

In the north half of A Site, place the Barrier Orb west to east right under your feet: the wall lifts you up. The creator uses it to break the attackers' crosshair placement: when they peek from A Main, they are not aiming at the height where you stand. He then shows the wall as seen from A Main. It is the first of his four A walls on defense.

On a retake, place Barrier Orb from A Back, at the end of the corridor with the stairs, about 14 m away: the wall rises diagonally where the corridor meets A Screens. Then stay in the corner of A Back. The creator waits for the enemies there: he sees them cross, anticipates and kills them as they arrive. The wall lasts 40 seconds.
