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
