Key Positions

Central Point Area

The main capture area on each sub-map; varies in size and cover between the three variations

High Ground Overlook

Elevated position above the point; controlling this gives a damage advantage in every fight

Flanking Route

Side path leading to the point from an unexpected angle; flankers use this to bypass the main approach

Mega Health Pack

Health pack near the point area; controlling this provides a sustain advantage during extended fights

Cover Structure

Central structure on the point providing cover; essential for surviving during point contests

Spawn Exit

The paths from spawn to the point; knowing the fastest route gives a respawn time advantage

Attack Strategy

Gogadoro features varied sub-maps that require flexible team compositions and adaptive strategies. Use the terrain features on each sub-map to approach the point from multiple angles and establish positional advantages before committing to fights. Coordinate team pushes through the flanking routes to catch defenders off guard and focus on taking high ground before engaging on the point. Mobile compositions that can rotate quickly between positions are strongest overall.

Defense Strategy

Hold the elevated positions overlooking each point and use the terrain features for cover and crossfire angles. Deny flanking routes by positioning a player to watch side approaches. On each sub-map, identify the strongest high ground position and prioritize holding it over standing on the point itself. Fall back to the mega health pack areas when sustain is needed and rotate between defensive positions to keep attackers guessing about your setup.

Recommended Comp

Flexible compositions that can adapt to varied terrain. Winston or D.Va for mobile tank play. Soldier 76 and Hanzo for consistent ranged damage. Kiriko and Lucio for healing and mobility. Be prepared to flex between dive and poke depending on which sub-map is active.

Hero Picks

Winston — Mobility to contest high ground and dive between positions across the varied sub-maps
D.Va — Flexible mobility and Defense Matrix work on all sub-map types
Soldier: 76 — Consistent damage and self-sustain make him reliable regardless of sub-map terrain
Kiriko — Teleport keeps her connected to teammates across the varied terrain; suzu is universally valuable
Lucio — Speed boost for engages and wall ride for mobility are strong on all control maps

Tips & Tricks

  • As a newer control map, learn the specific layouts of each sub-map to identify the strongest positions

  • Mobile tank heroes like Winston and D.Va are consistently strong on control maps with varied terrain
  • The mega health pack location on each sub-map is a key resource; controlling it gives a sustain edge
  • Be prepared to swap heroes between rounds to match the specific sub-map terrain and engagement distances
