andrewdamf [#3]neon, chamber, breach, astra, fade
explain the astra pick over the other controllers
skye and fade for initiators: this map has a lot of corners that skye and fade dog can clear
raze for duelist: as i said initiators, a lot of corners in with the grenade is gonna be useful
chamber: he plays long b as a awp
omen or viper: viper probably better with a slow paced game and omen can bring another flash for executes
I think pearl will benefit from brim/viper or astra/viper whilst you would probably want a fade and someone that can flash, get good info around mid, so skye. I also think just skye can probably work since sova isnt as good and skye can clear mid alone.
Im thinking
Brim
Viper
Skye
Fade/chamber (if you want to run single initiator)
Chamber/raze/jett/neon
fade - busted on this map, great util for info, teamplay combos with raze/others. very solid, better than sova easily
skye (or breach/kayo) - also very strong, lots of good flash plays from good skyes, but i like breach/kayo too mostly about preference
sage/chamber (or sage/killjoy) - sage util is very strong on this condensed map in general, chamber i throw in for preference cause he's just busted
viper - another must pick with fade imo, viper is super strong on defense (b site) and is strong on attack (attack sided map anyway)
raze (or any tbh) - i like raze but all preference, raze is just good pair with fade/sage, solid kit overall

Essentially this comp relies on viper playing as a sentinel around A. Her wall can shut down full pushes around mid to a splits, whilst on offense it can easily put up walls for b/a lurks. And at best viper can set up walls for b long counter op angles on offense, while brim can act as main smoker.

her ult is literally just super op on that map
broseiden [#4]neon(duelist)
chamber(for b site)
viper/omen(smokes)
sova/fade(initiator)
skye/kayo/sage(flex)
this ones alright but i feel like raze > neon personally

personally i think fade should be the main initiator on this map, skye works but fades 2 prowlers are super useful to clear angles
i can see brim/viper combo good for post plants as well but im not sure of the most optimal comp with double smokes. no duelist and 2 initiators could be the play.

raze (or any tbh) - i like raze but all preference, raze is just good pair with fade/sage, solid kit overall
i feel like the 2nd initiator (with fade as the main) you pick is dependent on what you want to do.
skye - good for clearing angles. easiest flashes.
breach - good for execs
kayo - i can see him being good against very defensive comps like double sentinel/smokes
WinterZ [#19]chamber
cypher
fade
viper
duelist of choice (except reyna or phoenix)
i like it. do you think no duelist would work as well? like a skye/kayo?
DELUSIONAL_LAKIA_FAN [#26]i like it. do you think no duelist would work as well? like a skye/kayo?
absolutely. Especially KAY/O could fill very easily in place of a duelist
DELUSIONAL_LAKIA_FAN [#21]personally i think fade should be the main initiator on this map, skye works but fades 2 prowlers are super useful to clear angles

Yeah personally, i think no duelist is probably the best comp in my comment because the chokes arent as tight on this map, just like icebox. I would say double initiator double smokes no duelist would probably be the strongest comp. But idk im not an analyst or coach. Also i can see a double sentinel comp too with no duelist (around kj and chamber too).

EXPLAIN I AM ASTRA MAIN I NEED ANSWERS
Based on little I've played (I know pretty crazy comp):
Brim/Omen/Astra
Neon/Yoru
Raze
Fade
Chamber/Cypher
I would try some of those combinations. Depends what you prioritize. I think Brim and Yoru are underrated. Brim fast smokes and stim can be good for aggressive space taking and Yoru has a lot of placed to tp to and hide in to cause threat around the map. Also his fake and flash seem to be quite good in this map.
