Circuit Royal
Escort
Monte Carlo, Monaco
Key Positions
Casino Entrance
Grand entrance area at first point with long sightlines and elevated positions for snipers to control the approach
Hotel Balcony
High ground overlooking the first choke point; defenders can hold this angle to prevent attackers from pushing through
Mega Health Pack (Side Room)
Located in a side room near the second checkpoint; crucial for sustain during extended team fights
Underpass
Tunnel running beneath the main road between first and second point; a safe rotation path for flankers
Final Rooftop
Rooftop area overlooking the final delivery point; snipers and hitscan heroes dominate from this elevation
Gondola Platform
Elevated platform near the gondola station; provides a commanding view of the payload path below
Attack Strategy
On the first point, control the left flanking path through the back rooms and pressure defenders from the side while a teammate distracts on main; the long sightlines reward Widowmaker and other ranged hitscan picks. On second point, push aggressively up the grand staircase and use the side rooms for cover when crossing the open hotel lobby. For the final delivery, take the upper bridge and force defenders off the high ground before committing the payload through the open final stretch.
Defense Strategy
Hold the long sightlines that define this map by setting up snipers and hitscan poke from the high ground on every section. On first point, lock down the open courtyard from the elevated balcony positions and watch the left flank route. On second, hold the top of the grand staircase and use the railings for partial cover. On the final stretch, contest the upper bridge with crossfire from both side buildings to deny attackers the high ground, falling back to the choke before the finish line if pushed.
Recommended Comp
Poke/Sniper (Widowmaker + Ashe + Ana + Zenyatta).
Hero Picks
Widowmaker
— Circuit Royal has some of the longest sightlines in the game, making her dominant on every point
Hanzo
— Long sightlines combined with wall climb lets him access high ground and get picks at range
Sigma
— His barrier and ranged damage work well in the open areas; accretion can punish aggressive dives
Ana
— Excellent long-range healing angles and sleep dart can shut down flankers in the open terrain
Sojourn
— Railgun charged shots are devastating on the long sightlines; slide provides mobility to reposition
Tips & Tricks
- ★ This map heavily favors snipers; if you are not running a Widowmaker or Hanzo you need a dive composition to close the distance
- ★ The underpass between first and second point is a safe rotation that avoids sniper sightlines entirely
- ★ On defense first point, the hotel balcony gives you a dominant angle but be ready to fall back quickly if dove
- ★ Use the casino pillars as cover when pushing through the first point as an attacker
- ★ On third point, controlling the rooftop is essential for both attack and defense; whoever holds it usually wins the fight
