Center Stage

Here are some tips for playing on this map: Consider adopting a balanced approach to the map. While the center offers potential rewards, it is also a prime location for ambushes. Decide whether it's worth taking the risk or if it's better to focus on controlling the side lanes. Utilize Brawlers with movement speed boosts like Max or Surge who can quickly navigate through the map and take advantage of the abundance of bushes. The Speed Gear star power can be particularly effective in providing mobility and escaping dangerous situations. Rosa can be a dominant force on this map, especially if equipped with her Plant Life star power. Her Unfriendly Bushes gadget can slow down enemies in the bushes, and her Grow Light gadget can connect the bushes on the sides, granting her team greater control over those areas. Brawlers with wide attack spreads like Pam and Emz can effectively block off sections of the bush border with their attacks, denying enemy access and controlling the flow of the game. Poco can also be valuable for healing teammates and scanning for hidden opponents in bushes. Be cautious when choosing sharpshooters, as the abundance of bushes can make it challenging to find clear shooting lanes. If opting for a sharpshooter, prioritize those with reliable burst damage to quickly eliminate targets. If playing in the side lanes, avoid relying heavily on ambushing strategies, as most sharpshooters can easily check the smaller bush strips. Instead, focus on positioning, map control, and playing to the strengths of your Brawler's kit. Consider utilizing wall-breaking Brawlers like Colt or Brock to dismantle barriers and gain an advantage against tanky opponents. Breaking down walls can make it easier to score goals and create opportunities for your team. Tara's Psychic Enhancer gadget can provide valuable information by revealing enemies hiding in the center grass. Use this advantage to plan your movements and coordinate with your team. Rico's bouncing shots can be effective in hitting enemies hiding behind the vertical walls in the center. Take advantage of his ability to control and pressure opponents from a distance. Grom can be an excellent pick on this map, especially with his Watchtower gadget. Placing it behind a wall allows you to see enemies in the bushes and coordinate with your team to eliminate them. Both of Grom's star powers are useful, so choose the one that best fits your playstyle. Remember to adapt your strategy based on the Brawlers and team compositions you're facing. Communication and coordination with your teammates will greatly enhance your chances of success.
