#Setup

Pre-fight phase where all 5 players align positions, sightlines, and retreat routes before engaging.

The stalemate phase where neither side commits, and both fight only over space, information, and cooldowns.

The final defensive stand on a Payload or Hybrid map, where the defending team's respawn advantage peaks.

A defensive setup that protects a high-damage dealer like Bastion behind shields and defensive cooldowns, fortifying one position.

An attacking gimmick that places a high-damage dealer like Bastion on the payload and advances it under shield and pocket heal protection.

A pattern that takes the opening advantage with a map-specific, pre-designed Ult/CD sequence built on the known opening resource state.

An ambush set play or comp that works once if the enemy does not know it — low reproducibility, but mandatory to prepare for.

Running sightlines and scouting through high ground and off-angles before a push to flush out hidden enemies.
