Counters
Rainbow Six counters are gadget interactions, rules of the game rather than statistics, so every pairing here comes from the two operators' own kit pages: the mechanism from whoever wins it, the gadget it beats from whoever brings it.
X-Kairos pellets stick to the reinforced surface and wait to be detonated, which gives a live CED-1 Shock Wire the window to kill them off the wall.
Kaid's page names hatches as well as walls, and the Rtila Electroclaw is thrown, so it can reach the hatch Hibana's X-Kairos pellets are stuck to from the floor below it.
Ubisoft names Hibana on Mute's page: X-Kairos pellets are detonated remotely, and a Signal Disruptor is what stops that signal arriving.
Clash anchors the CCE Shield to hold one lane and taser whoever approaches it, and X-Kairos opens a hatch or wall behind her that the lane no longer covers.
Skopos can only operate one Pantheon Shell at a time, and X-Kairos pellets are placed and then detonated from a floor above, outside both of them.
Common questions
Is Hibana an Attacker or Defender?
Hibana is an Attacker in Rainbow Six Siege.
Where do these counters come from?
Rainbow Six's counters are mostly deterministic gadget interactions, rules of the game rather than statistics, so we state them from the two operators' own kit pages with no telemetry needed. A pairing is only written where the winning operator's page names the mechanism, which is why plenty of operators here carry none. Statistical data is based on external APIs and publicly available information. It may differ from official data.
What is the best loadout for Hibana?
NotJoeyBlack and SINOOS publish loadout picks under their own name, and this page credits each of them rather than averaging them into a single answer. We measure nothing ourselves. The list of what Hibana can equip is the game's own, and is separate from anyone's opinion about it. Statistical data is based on external APIs and publicly available information. It may differ from official data.
