Duelist, Initiator, Controller, Sentinel
A balanced team usually covers each role. Most solo-queue frustration comes from missing a Controller or Initiator.
Duelist
Mobility duelist who creates space with Tailwind dash and Updraft. Pairs well with the Operator.
Duelist
Self-sufficient fragger: kills fuel heals and Dismiss escapes. Great for solo queue, weaker for team utility.
Controller
Smokes from anywhere plus teleports for lurks and retakes. A flexible pick on nearly every map.
Controller
Toxic Screen walls split sites; strongest on Breach, Icebox and Pearl-style long sightlines.
Initiator
Recon Bolt and Owl Drone reveal enemies before your team commits. Learn a few lineups per map.
Initiator
Haunt and Prowlers clear corners and track enemies; easier to learn than Sova lineups.
Sentinel
Turret and Alarmbot lock down a site solo; Lockdown ultimate forces retakes.
Sentinel
Trapwires and Spycam hold flanks and gather info for the whole team.
