King's Row

Hybrid London, United Kingdom
King's Row

Key Positions

Hotel High Ground

Elevated position overlooking the first choke point; attackers can take this to pressure defenders from above and bypass the main gate

Pub (First Choke)

Building on the right side of the first choke; provides cover and an alternate angle for attackers pushing through

Statue Garden

Open area around the statue on first point; the objective area where the team fight typically happens

Mega Health Pack (Streets)

Located in the alley between first and second point; essential for sustain during the escort phase

Underground Tunnel (Third)

Tunnel beneath the streets on third point; flankers and tanks use this to avoid the main sightline

Final Corner

The tight 90-degree corner before the final delivery point; one of the most brawl-heavy fight locations in the game

Attack Strategy

Push left hotel or right statue, stay together streets, underground brawl third.

Defense Strategy

High ground pub/bookshop, fall back at corners, underground contest.

Recommended Comp

Brawl (Reinhardt, Reaper, Mei, Lucio, Moira).

Hero Picks

Reinhardt — Tight streets and corners make his barrier and hammer swing incredibly effective throughout the map
Reaper — Close-quarters combat on second and third point is perfect for his shotguns and wraith form
Lucio — Speed boost through the tight streets enables aggressive engages; wall ride potential is excellent
Ana — Anti-nade is devastating in the tight corridors where enemies cannot easily dodge it
Mei — Ice wall can split teams at the chokes and her close-range damage is strong in the tight streets

Tips & Tricks

  • Kings Row is the premier brawl map; Reinhardt and Lucio are almost always strong picks here
  • On attack first point, taking the hotel high ground before engaging gives you a massive advantage over defenders at the choke
  • The underground tunnel on third point lets you bypass the main sightline entirely; use it for flanks or rotations
  • On defense second point, playing on the high ground overlooking the street is stronger than fighting at payload level
  • Symmetra teleporter can move your team from spawn to the fight instantly on this map due to the short distances
