Defender Strategies

Learn Mordhau Defender strategies for Invasion. Master choke points and utilize engineers with spike traps and ballistas to repel attackers.

As a Defender in Invasion, your goal is to prevent the Attackers from completing their objectives until time runs out. This requires strong defensive positioning, choke point control, and effective use of environmental hazards. Engineers are invaluable for building barricades, spike traps, and ballistas to fortify positions. Archers can rain down arrows from elevated positions, while heavy infantry can hold the line in narrow passages. Prioritize eliminating key attacking players, especially those focusing on the objective. Don't over-extend; maintain your defensive lines and fall back to secondary positions if a point is lost. Communication is key to anticipating attacker pushes and reinforcing weak points.
