Place Lacroix

Push Nice, France
Place Lacroix

Key Positions

Boulevard Sightline

Long French boulevard providing excellent sightlines along the push path; poke compositions dominate here

Cafe Terrace

Outdoor cafe area with tables providing partial cover; a common fight location along the push route

Building Balconies

Elegant balconies on French buildings overlooking the push path; provide commanding elevated angles

Mega Health Pack (Shop Interior)

Located inside a shop near the push path; essential sustain during prolonged engagements

Side Streets

Narrow side streets running parallel to the main push route; flankers use these for rotations

Fountain Plaza

Open plaza area with a fountain near the center of the map; the robot starts here

Attack Strategy

Push the robot through the elegant French streets by controlling the side buildings and elevated terraces along the push path. Use the outdoor cafe areas and building interiors for cover while escorting the robot. The wide boulevards provide space for poke compositions while the side streets offer flanking routes for dive heroes. Coordinate pushes with speed boost to maximize robot progress after winning team fights. Send flankers ahead of the robot to scout the enemy setup and identify which side they are holding from.

Defense Strategy

Hold the elevated terraces and balconies overlooking the push path to control the sightlines along the French boulevards. Use the side buildings as cover and rotation paths between defensive positions. Set up crossfire angles from the buildings on both sides of the push route. Contest the robot by fighting from elevated positions rather than standing at street level. The elegant architecture provides numerous windows and balconies for off-angles that make static defensive positions very strong against uncoordinated pushes.

Recommended Comp

Poke composition with Sigma, Hanzo or Widowmaker, Soldier 76, Ana, and Baptiste for the wide boulevards. The elegant French streets provide long sightlines that favor ranged damage. Consider dive with Winston and mobile DPS if the enemy team holds the terraces to contest their high ground directly.

Hero Picks

Widowmaker — Wide French boulevards provide excellent long-range sightlines for picks
Sigma — Flexible barrier works well on the open boulevards; ranged damage is effective at distance
Ana — Long sightlines from the terraces provide safe healing angles across the push path
Tracer — Side streets provide flanking routes to harass the backline and contest the robot
Hanzo — Wall climb to the balconies gives him elevated sightlines; Storm Arrows are strong at range

Tips & Tricks

  • The wide boulevards favor poke compositions; use the building facades for cover between shots
  • Building balconies are power positions; contest them on attack or hold them on defense
  • Side streets are essential flanking routes; always have someone watching them to prevent backline dives
  • After winning a fight, push aggressively with the robot but do not overextend past it
  • The fountain plaza in the center is a common early fight location; winning this fight sets the tempo
