Havana

Escort Havana, Cuba
Havana

Key Positions

Market High Ground

Elevated position above the market on first point; attackers use this to bypass the main street choke

Fort Ramparts

The fort walls and battlements overlooking the payload path; the strongest defensive position on the map

Rooftop Flanks

Rooftops along the second point area that provide off-angles and flanking routes for mobile heroes

Mega Health Pack (Side Street)

Located in a side street between first and second point; critical sustain resource during extended fights

Courtyard

Open courtyard near the final point where the decisive team fight typically takes place

Balcony Overlook

Balcony above the second point payload path; snipers can control the entire second section from here

Attack Strategy

Push through the open market area on first point using the left side buildings for cover and high ground advantage. On second point, rotate through the side streets to avoid the main sightline and use rooftop flanks to pressure defenders from above. For the final point, coordinate a push through the fort courtyard and use the stairways to take the high ground before committing to the final fight. Speed boost or dive compositions work best to close distance through the long open streets.

Defense Strategy

Hold the fort high ground overlooking the first choke to control the long sightline down the main street. Use the balconies and elevated positions to rain damage onto the payload path below. On second point, set up at the corner where the payload turns and use the buildings for cover and off-angles. On the final point, hold the fort high ground aggressively and use the narrow doorways to funnel attackers into kill zones. Rotate between the elevated platforms to maintain map control.

Recommended Comp

Poke composition with Sigma, Widowmaker or Hanzo, Soldier 76, Ana, and Baptiste. The long sightlines throughout the map heavily favor ranged damage output. Swap to dive if the enemy runs double sniper to close the distance gap.

Hero Picks

Widowmaker — Extremely long sightlines down the main streets make her one of the best picks on Havana
Sigma — Barrier flexibility is key for the open streets; rock and orbs provide strong poke damage
Ana — Long-range healing angles from the elevated positions and anti-nade is devastating in the open
Hanzo — Wall climb accesses rooftop flanks; Storm Arrows are effective at the range this map provides
Soldier: 76 — Can take high ground with sprint and provide consistent damage output across the open terrain

Tips & Tricks

  • Havana has some of the longest sightlines in the game; if you are not running a sniper you need to play cover aggressively
  • The fort high ground on defense is one of the most powerful positions on any escort map; prioritize holding it
  • On attack, using the side streets and buildings to avoid the main sightline is essential for closing distance
  • The rooftop flanks on second point allow mobile heroes like Genji and Tracer to bypass the frontline entirely
  • Speed boost from Lucio is extremely valuable on attack to push through the long open stretches quickly
