Rialto

Key Positions

Main Bridge

The central bridge over the canal on first point; controlling this determines who wins the opening fight

Canal Side Buildings

Buildings along the canal that provide elevated positions and off-angles over the water crossings

Market Interior

Indoor market area on second point with tight corridors; brawl compositions excel here

Mega Health Pack (Warehouse)

Located in a warehouse near the second checkpoint; essential sustain resource for extended fights

Upper Walkways

Elevated walkways connecting buildings above the payload path; flankers use these for surprise attacks

Final Courtyard

Open courtyard at the final delivery point; high ground on surrounding buildings is critical

Attack Strategy

Control the bridge high ground on first point to establish a crossfire angle against defenders positioned along the canal. Use the side buildings to rotate through cover and avoid the long sightlines over the water. On second point, push aggressively through the indoor market area and use the upper walkways for flank angles. For the final delivery, coordinate a dive onto the defenders holding the high ground above the delivery area and focus on taking their elevated positions before pushing the payload in.

Defense Strategy

Hold the canal crossings as choke points, using the bridge and elevated positions to create crossfire angles over the water. On first point, set up on the buildings overlooking the bridge and deny attackers from crossing safely. On second, use the tight indoor areas near the market to play brawl and prevent the payload from advancing. On the final point, hold the high ground above the delivery area and use the buildings for cover and off-angles. The narrow streets favor close-range compositions that can punish attackers in confined spaces.

Recommended Comp

Poke composition with Sigma, Hanzo, Soldier 76, Ana, and Baptiste. The bridges and canals create natural sightlines that favor ranged damage. Consider switching to brawl with Reinhardt for the tighter indoor sections on second point if your team struggles with the open areas.

Hero Picks

Hanzo — Canal sightlines and wall climb to access elevated positions make him extremely effective
Sigma — Barrier controls the bridge choke; ranged damage is strong across the canals
Ana — Excellent long-range healing angles from the buildings overlooking the canals
Reinhardt — Strong on second point where the tight market corridors favor brawl engagements
Cassidy — Medium-range combat across the bridges and streets suits his effective range perfectly

Tips & Tricks

  • The canals create natural choke points; never cross a bridge without your team ready to support you
  • On second point, the market interior favors brawl; consider swapping to Reinhardt if you were running poke
  • The upper walkways above the payload path are excellent for flankers to get behind enemy lines
  • On defense first point, the buildings overlooking the bridge give a massive advantage; hold them aggressively
  • Water in the canals is not lethal but slows you down significantly; avoid falling in during fights
