  4. Win two roundsEach round is a different sub-map

Tactical map in review

The basics

Objective
Both teams fight for one control point on the current sub-map. Hold it to build capture progress. The first team to win two rounds takes the match.
Where you spawn
Teams start at opposite ends of each sub-map and reach the point from two sides.

Beginner tips

  • On Shrine, avoid the edges when enemies can knock you back.
  • Sanctum is indoors and cramped, so close-range heroes do well there.
  • Check which sub-map loaded: each one plays very differently.
