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.
A Black Eye is a device, so Brava's Kludge Drone takes it over instead of destroying it, and Valkyrie's pre-placed cameras start feeding the Attackers.
Valkyrie spends her setup placing Black Eyes, and Dokkaebi's Jegeo Payload blocks the observation tools that feed them, so the whole placement goes dark at once.
Black Eyes are placed to watch doors and stairs. The Garra Hook takes Amaru up through a window or an open hatch, which is the approach they are not pointed at.
Maverick has to stand at the wall for a long, quiet time to torch it. A Black Eye watching that wall is what tells the anchor exactly where and when, which is the only thing his silence was buying.
Sledge's page says he excels at flanking, and Black Eyes pre-placed outside cover the routes a flanker uses, so the flank arrives announced.
Common questions
Is Valkyrie an Attacker or Defender?
Valkyrie is a Defender 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 Valkyrie?
NotJoeyBlack, Rasco100 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 Valkyrie 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.
