Eichenwalde

Hybrid Eichenwalde, Germany
Eichenwalde

Key Positions

Bridge Choke

The narrow bridge at first point that attackers must cross; one of the most iconic choke points in the game

Left Flank Building

Building on the left side of the bridge choke; flankers can use the window to bypass the main choke entirely

Castle Gate

The castle entrance where the payload transitions from escort to hybrid; defenders set up here for a strong hold

Mega Health Pack (Castle Interior)

Located inside the castle near the throne room; controlling this is critical during the final push

Throne Room

The final delivery area inside the castle; tight corridors and doorways create intense close-range fights

Rampart High Ground

Castle walls above the second point area; provides commanding sightlines over the payload path

Attack Strategy

Left bridge flank to bypass choke, Mei wall/Sym TP through castle, tight throne room.

Defense Strategy

Bridge choke, castle doorway, balcony above destination.

Recommended Comp

Attack - Dive to bypass choke. Defense - Poke at choke, Brawl inside.

Hero Picks

Reinhardt — The bridge choke and castle corridors are perfect for his barrier and hammer; arguably his best map
Junkrat — Tight corridors inside the castle and the bridge choke make his spam damage extremely effective
Mei — Ice wall on the bridge can split the enemy team; close-range damage is strong in the castle
Baptiste — Immortality field is clutch in the tight castle corridors; window amplifies damage through chokes
Symmetra — Teleporter can bypass the bridge choke entirely, one of her most impactful map-specific plays

Tips & Tricks

  • The bridge choke is one of the hardest to break in the game; consider Symmetra teleporter or Lucio speed boost to bypass it
  • On attack, taking the left flank building and jumping through the window puts you behind the defenders at the bridge
  • Inside the castle, the mega health pack room is a key position; whoever controls it has a sustain advantage
  • On defense at the throne room, playing behind the doorway and forcing attackers to funnel through is extremely strong
  • Reinhardt on Eichenwalde is nearly a must-pick; the entire map favors brawl compositions from start to finish
