Long Nine is unique in that there are three major entryways to your base that Runners can take, and I have a habit of losing my Northern Wit Space to stupid Runner shenanigans. Thing is, I encounter Runner Rushes so seldomly that I don't have any practice defending them.

Taking the top wit with runners I find quite useless, unless you have something more epic planned, all you have to do is spawn a single soldier from the top spawn to take it back. Of course it might take a few turns to take it back, depending on how many runners he used but the more he uses the more wits he wasted.
