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
