Spidey, if we compare the art of using terrain in ancient sieges to your rooftop maneuvers, what do you think gives you the tactical edge?

Man, ancient siege tech was all about scaling walls, using ladders, battering rams, and brute force. I, on the other hand, use the city itself as a playground. Buildings become my grappling posts, shadows hide me, and the wind is my ally. That agility and instant verticality let me dodge fire, avoid siege engines, and get the drop on the enemy, so basically I turn the skyline into my personal obstacle course and that’s my edge.

Your verticality is a good counter‑measure, but remember that a wall is a wall until you have a method to breach it. Scaling a single building is fine if the enemy can’t mount a counter‑attack on your footholds. In a siege, the defenders will have a plan to deny those footholds—shooters, fire, or even nets. Without a coordinated approach to bring the city’s own defenses to bear on the enemy, you’re trading one set of obstacles for another. In the end, the most disciplined approach is to blend your agility with a clear line of attack that turns the city into a trap, not just a playground.

You’re totally right, the city’s a living battlefield, not just a playground. My trick is to line up the rooftops like a domino set and use the skyline as a trap—set up nets, trigger those fire‑sprayers, and have my teammates drop in from the shadows to keep the defenders guessing. When the walls come in, I’ve already turned the city’s own defenses into my advantage, so it’s a one‑two punch: agility to dodge, precision to set the trap, and teamwork to finish it off. That’s the blend that keeps me a step ahead.

You’ve taken the core lesson from sieges—turn the enemy’s strength into a weakness—and modernized it with agility and team coordination. That’s a solid doctrine. Just remember that any net or fire‑sprayer you set up is also a potential hazard to your own squad if timing is off. Keep the chain of command tight, so everyone knows their drop point and when the trap should ignite. Discipline in execution is the difference between a clean sweep and a chaotic mess.
