Defending in Siege X is a moving target. Reinforcement, gadget, and weapon balance swings decide which anchors and roamers actually dominate a site — the rise of DMRs and System Override's changes pushed one-time staples like Azami down the pecking order while intel and denial defenders climbed. New maps, the ban phase, and shifting site meta keep the order in flux every single season.
This board ranks every defender in the current ranked pool, as voted by the community. If your main is criminally underrated here, that's what the vote buttons are for.
