Defenders are meant to defend as the name would suggest but yet, some of them just do a better job at defending than others in the same category.<\/p>\n<p>Since there are so many, some players will find it difficult to master them all to find out which one is the best. Let\u2019s take a look at some of the best defenders that you can pick according to your playstyle Rainbow Six Siege.<\/p>\n<h2>Best Defenders you should pick in Rainbow Six Siege<\/h2>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-200745\" src=\"https:\/\/gamertweak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/best-defender-jager.jpg\" alt=\"best defender jager r6\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gamertweak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/best-defender-jager.jpg 800w, https:\/\/gamertweak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/best-defender-jager-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gamertweak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/best-defender-jager-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With a lot of options to choose from, there is a lot of variety on offer. Among them, listed here are some of the best Defenders you can pick:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>J\u00e4ger<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Valkyrie<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Mira<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Thunderbird<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Let’s go more in-depth on each character and why they are one of the best defenders.<\/p>\n<h3>J\u00e4ger<\/h3>\n<p>J\u00e4ger has always been one of the best defenders in the game. He is a medium health operative with a gadget called ADS-MKIV “Magpie” which can intercept live grenades before their detonation. He can work in synergy with other defenders really well, like using Kaid\u2019s wall with J\u00e4ger\u2019s ADS on it makes it so that the wall cannot be breached. Also, His 416-C Carbine weapon is also one of the strongest in the game.<\/p>\n<h3>Valkyrie<\/h3>\n<p>Valkyrie is a versatile operator that is able to place multiple cameras. She is a medium health operator with portable sticky cams that can attach to any surface. Her kit works great in synergy with more aggressive operators like Caveira and Pulse. So, she is definitely one of the best defenders in Rainbow Six Siege.<\/p>\n<h3>Mira<\/h3>\n<p>Mira is actually disliked in the community and often banned. That is only because of how powerful she is. She can place a one-way mirror called Black Mirror. This ability makes it really easy for the defending team to watch a specific place.<\/p>\n<h3>Thunderbird<\/h3>\n<p>Thunderbird is a Light Armored Defender. She deploys a gadget known as the Kona station. This makes her a really good pick for the whole team as she can play a healer role. The Kona Station can heal other teammates in the vicinity. And not only that but it can also revive downed teammates as long as they are in range of it.<\/p>\n<p>Those are the top best defenders in Rainbow Six Siege.
