Ilios

Control Ilios, Greece
Ilios

Key Positions

Well Center Pit

The deadly well in the center of the Well sub-map; environmental kills from Lucio, Pharah, and other boops are constant threats

Ruins Pillars

Stone pillars on the Ruins sub-map that provide cover on the point; essential for surviving sniper sightlines

Lighthouse Interior

Enclosed indoor point on the Lighthouse sub-map; close-range brawl heroes excel in this tight space

Ruins Sniper Perch

Elevated high ground overlooking the Ruins point from the side; Widowmaker and Hanzo can dominate from here

Well High Ground Bridge

Bridge above the well area providing a safe position to rain damage down onto the point

Mega Health Pack (Lighthouse Side)

Located in a room adjacent to the Lighthouse point; critical for sustaining during the fight

Attack Strategy

On Lighthouse, take the side stairs and roof angles to drop onto the small circular point and force defenders out of the bell hut interior. On Ruins, control the upper bridges to crossfire the courtyard, and beware the central well that punishes overcommitted divers. On Well, contest the side ramps and only commit on point once knockback threats are dealt with. Brawl comps with strong sustain win the tight Lighthouse and Well circles, while dive flips momentum quickly across all three sub-arenas.

Defense Strategy

On Lighthouse, claim the stairs and the bell hut early to deny the side approach and crossfire down onto attackers stepping onto point. On Ruins, hold the upper bridges and the back archways so attackers cannot establish high ground over the courtyard. On Well, set up around the central pit and use boops or hooks to score environmental kills off the side cliffs. Sustain supports and brawl picks shine on the small contested circles, with knockback heroes especially valuable on Well.

Hero Picks

Lucio — Environmental kills on Well and Lighthouse make him one of the highest-value picks on Ilios
Pharah — Open skybox on all three sub-maps and boop potential on Well make her extremely strong
Widowmaker — Ruins has some of the best sniper sightlines of any control map; she can dominate that sub-map
Reinhardt — Lighthouse is his playground with tight corridors; also strong on Well when playing aggressively
Moira — Effective on all three sub-maps with her sustain and damage orbs in the enclosed spaces

Tips & Tricks

  • On Well, always be aware of your positioning near the pit; Lucio and Pharah boops can instantly end you
  • On Ruins, controlling the high ground sniper perch is often more important than standing on the point itself
  • On Lighthouse, brawl compositions with Reinhardt and Lucio are almost always the best approach
  • Pharah is one of the most versatile picks across all three Ilios sub-maps due to the open skyboxes
  • On Well, the bridge above the point gives a safe angle to damage enemies on the point without being near the pit
