  • CLOSE-RANGE MAPS

GOOD

5 PICKS
Kiriko portrait

Kiriko

GoodSUPPORT

Sojourn portrait

Sojourn

GoodDAMAGE

Mobile ranged burst punishes Mauga on exposed approaches and forces safer, slower positioning.

  • MAP OR COMP DEPENDENT

SITUATIONAL

4 PICKS
Sombra portrait

Sombra

SituationalSUPPORT

Sigma portrait

Sigma

SituationalTANK

Barrier control, absorption and Accretion reduce Mauga's pressure while creating punish windows at range.

  • MAP OR COMP DEPENDENT
Zarya portrait

  • MAP OR COMP DEPENDENT
Doctrine portrait

Doctrine

SituationalSUPPORT
