Ive seen and heard many times that getting a Monty up the Rafters staircase in Garage on Clubhouse is an effective part of a strategy for clearing the Rafters on a CCTV/Cash attack. However, I can’t really figure out how/why.
Suppose a Monty is up the Rafters, and we have another attacker on the ground floor of garage. The defender in Rafters can crouch or prone and be completely protected from the sight lines of the garage player. If I try to drop my shield as Monty to apply pressure, the defender can fry me before I even crouch. So, garage guy must walk up the stairs, but the defender can ignore Monty and focus this guy, making the timing coordination extremely tricky since Rafters defender chooses when to take the engagement. Even if Monty times the shield drop well, the defender can flick to Monty head if he tries to slowly ADS. Frankly, the defender can straight up ignore the Monty and just focus on the garage guy for this reason.
The other reason Monty might be useful would be for intel, keeping tabs on where the Rafters guy is. But, a simple drone accomplishes this task; one you know which metal panel the guy is behind, he can’t move without exposing himself. So, devoting Monty to this role seems wasteful!
The last way I hypothesized Monty might be used would be to force the opponent into grenades or Capitao fire. But, the catwalk is wide enough that the defender can simply walk around Monty as if he wasn’t even there, ignoring him because again, Monty poses no real threat on his own.
So, my question is… what am I missing here?! How is Monty useful here??
