Class Roles and Build Selection
The Finals' three classes — Light, Medium, and Heavy — fill different roles in a team. Light provides mobility and flanking pressure. Medium handles healing and information. Heavy creates area denial and forces engagement through sheer durability.
Running a balanced composition of one class each is a common starting point but not mandatory. Double-Medium setups with consistent healing can outlast opponents who lack their own sustain. Understanding what your chosen class contributes in a given team context determines your gadget and loadout choices. Additional game information on class builds and meta compositions is available for competitive players.
Destruction and Cashout Strategy
The Finals' defining mechanic is full-building destruction. Holes in floors, collapsed walls, and crumbling cover are all tools used offensively and defensively. Learning to use the environment as a weapon — collapsing floors under defenders or blasting new entry points — creates offensive angles opponents cannot anticipate.
Cashout timing is the core strategic decision in each match. Knowing when to push an active cashout, when to let opponents fight over it and steal, and when to defend your own vault requires reading the team compositions engaged at each site. This resource covers cashout steal strategies and defensive setups.
