Opening position
Start on a chosen side of center and establish a healer-to-DPS triangle before trading cooldowns.

Maldraxxus Coliseum
Symmetrical floor with central cover and broad side lanes.
A readable map that rewards simple fundamentals: protect healer line of sight and do not let a target pull you into an unhealable lane.

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
Hold a central-cover edge that sees the main lane. Move only far enough to deny control, then return to your reference point.
Damage plan
Pressure the target that leaves central support. Use side lanes to pull enemies apart, but reset before the healer loses central view.
Do not lose here
A long side chase turns symmetry into a fight where only one healer can see the action.
Map-Specific Edge
Maldraxxus Coliseum tip
If opponents always retreat to the same side, pre-position crowd control on that exit.
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.
