Opening position
Establish central-pillar control and do not let the opponent turn the back corridor into a free reset.

Hook Point
Compact center pillars and a long back corridor with short line-of-sight routes.
Frequent accessible cover favors teams that stay connected in close quarters. Casters often need proactive offense instead of passive spacing.

Geometry briefing
This is a durable orientation brief for the map's terrain and line-of-sight choices. It remains available, but is intentionally excluded from search until current-rotation research, mode-specific examples, and visual callouts have been source-reviewed.
Game Plan
Position with a purpose
Healer plan
Use the small center pillars for quick cast denial. Hold a return route instead of retreating all the way down the corridor.
Damage plan
Melee can keep a target near short cover. Casters should create pressure early and use the upper corner angle to prevent a safe corridor cycle.
Do not lose here
Chasing through the back corridor can remove damage and healing angles together.
Map-Specific Edge
Hook Point tip
Everyone has nearby line of sight. Win by deciding when to deny it, not by assuming distance makes you safe.
Fundamentals
Arena positioning and team play
Review healer radius, triangle positioning, cooldown trades, roles, and class identities.
Setup
Arena macros and keybinds
Build arena-target, focus, party utility, and stopcast controls that work when the map gets chaotic.
