Key Positions

The train station interior at first point; provides multiple levels and angles for team fights around the capture area

Street Intersection

The wide intersection outside Grand Central where the escort phase begins; open sightlines in multiple directions

Mega Health Pack (Alley)

Located in a side alley between the station and the second checkpoint; vital sustain resource

Bookstore

Interior building on the right side of the escort path; provides cover and flanking opportunities

Final Plaza

Open plaza area at the final delivery point; high ground on surrounding buildings is critical to control

Train station flanks left/right, high ground buildings second, tight last turn.

Defense Strategy

Elevated platform above point, corners falling back, last turn spam.

Recommended Comp

Poke early, Brawl for tight final.

Hero Picks

Tracer — Open streets and multiple flank routes make her highly effective throughout the escort phase
Winston — Can dive snipers on the high ground positions and contest the balcony in Grand Central
Widowmaker — Long sightlines on the streets outside Grand Central and the final plaza favor her
Kiriko — Suzu is valuable for cleansing anti-nades in tight fights; teleport keeps her mobile across the map
Sojourn — Versatile on both the indoor first point and the outdoor escort sections with railgun picks

Tips & Tricks

  • First point inside Grand Central plays very differently from the outdoor escort section; be ready to switch compositions
  • On attack first point, taking the high balcony inside the station gives you a huge advantage in the capture fight
  • The streets outside are wide and favor poke and dive; brawl compositions struggle with the open space
  • On defense, falling back to the bookstore area after losing the street fight gives you a strong second hold
  • Watch for flankers using the side alleys; the mega health pack alley is a common rotation path
