Crucible Banner Placement Discussion

I’m curious on how others place their banners in crucible and why. So if someone cares to share it would be good.

Personally I just put them in the southwest, choosing a place closest to that direction if it’s not available. I feel a bit of convenience that way.

At first it used to be north-west but moved to South-west like you pre AoM. This way one could rush anasteria at 137 or thalonis at 149, which was useful is Senti-Sharz spawned. Kept it ever since for whatever reason and it seems to work in AoM too.

At 159 you can rush sentinel with banner, as for nemeses(pick your poison/corner). That side often spawns Aleks for me, but regardless of what it is, I rush that corner

To me southwest feels better for kiting esp. in crucible of the dead. It feels awkward to kite on the right side. I’m considering moving to northeast though to rush Gabalthunn on 154 and Ilgorr on 159 cause it’s annoying to have another thing on 160 (and 170 but Theodin spawns on another side).

I rush kuba at 154 always. 154 is dangerous if Thaloinis and Visage’s rr stack vs kuba. But if you can kill Kuba fast enough it’s fine.

Theodin seems to go down faster than others with or without banner. I do Theo 1st phase, kill the fast guys, kill theo 2nd phase , try to kill anna before Krieg(was it krieg) so i’ll make sure anna’s rr doesn’t stick with me at the start of 170

I do the opposite on 154. It seems I can kill Gabalthunn before Kuba reaches me but I usually can’t kill Kuba before Gabalthunn reaches me.

On 159 I feel like everyone dies easily and the only real threat is Annie. I usually kill Annie last not because I want to but because by the time I kill both of Theos phases, the other 3 already died.

Yes he reaches me too sometimes but kuba should be at low health by then. But killing gabal and thalonis first is also nice. If they are dead, Kuba is a big fuzzy lamb without their stacked rr:)
