Busan

Key Positions

Downtown Main Street

Long straight street with excellent sightlines; snipers and hitscan heroes dominate this area

Sanctuary Temple

Elevated temple area with pillars providing cover; the high ground around the point is critical

MEKA Base Platforms

Elevated platforms inside the MEKA Base facility; provide crossfire angles over the point

Downtown Side Buildings

Buildings flanking the main street; provide off-angles and flanking routes

Sanctuary Mega Health Pack

Health pack near the temple area; controlling it provides sustain during extended point fights

MEKA Base Side Rooms

Rooms flanking the MEKA Base point; flankers use these for surprise attacks on the backline

Attack Strategy

On Downtown, use the buildings and side streets to approach the point from multiple angles and avoid the long main sightline. On Sanctuary, control the temple high ground and use the pillars for cover during engagements on the point. On MEKA Base, push through the side rooms and use the elevated platforms to establish crossfire angles before committing to the point fight. Each sub-map has distinct characteristics so adapt your approach and hero picks accordingly between rounds.

Defense Strategy

On Downtown, hold the buildings overlooking the point and use the long sightlines down the main street to deny approaches. On Sanctuary, hold the temple high ground and use the pillars to break line of sight while maintaining point presence. On MEKA Base, control the elevated platforms and side rooms to deny flankers and maintain crossfire angles on the point. Focus on holding the high ground on each sub-map and force enemies to fight uphill to take the point from you.

Recommended Comp

Downtown favors poke with long sightlines. Sanctuary works well with dive or brawl depending on the enemy. MEKA Base rewards flexible compositions that can fight in both open and enclosed spaces. Sigma is a strong all-around tank pick across all three sub-maps.

Hero Picks

D.Va — Strong on MEKA Base thematically and practically; mobility lets her contest all three sub-maps effectively
Widowmaker — Downtown long sightlines make her dominant; also effective on Sanctuary from the temple high ground
Sigma — Versatile across all three sub-maps with flexible barrier and ranged damage
Lucio — Speed boost is valuable on all three sub-maps; environmental kill potential on Sanctuary edges
Genji — Sanctuary pillars and MEKA Base side rooms provide excellent flanking opportunities

Tips & Tricks

  • Busan has three very different sub-maps; being willing to swap heroes between rounds gives you a significant advantage
  • On Downtown, the long main street sightline is one of the best sniper angles in the game; respect it
  • On Sanctuary, the temple pillars provide cover; use them to play around line of sight during point fights
  • On MEKA Base, the side rooms are critical flank routes; always have someone watching them
  • D.Va is a strong pick across all three Busan sub-maps due to her mobility and Defense Matrix

Sub-Maps

Downtown

Downtown

Long straight streets with excellent sniper sightlines. Use buildings for cover and approach from side streets. The main road is a kill zone for Widowmaker. Control the high ground in buildings overlooking the point for a major advantage.

Recommended Comp: Poke with Sigma, Widowmaker, Soldier 76, Ana, and Baptiste. Long-range damage dominates the open streets.
Sanctuary

Sanctuary

Temple area with pillars and high ground. Use the pillars to play around line of sight on the point. The temple elevation gives an advantage. Environmental edges near the sides enable boop kills from Lucio or Pharah.

Recommended Comp: Flexible dive or brawl. Winston can leap to temple high ground. Reinhardt works in close quarters near pillars.
MEKA Base

MEKA Base

Indoor facility with elevated platforms and side rooms. Control the platforms for crossfire angles on the point. Side rooms provide flanking routes. The enclosed space makes brawl viable but the platforms also support poke and dive.

Recommended Comp: Flexible with D.Va, Soldier 76, Genji, Kiriko, and Lucio. Mobility to use platforms and side rooms.
