The Robodrome positioning guide

Mechagon City | Three-pillar ramp map

The Robodrome rewards short, repeatable pressure windows instead of long cross-map chases.

Rated-eligible retail map; the active weekly pool and Solo Shuffle pool can vary.

Tactical view

Geometry that changes the match

The diagram is a positioning model, not a scale map. It highlights the cover, level changes, and rotation lanes that matter during combat.

CoverRaised terrainExample rotation
Terrain
Industrial lanes, central obstacles, and short sightline breaks around machinery.
Primary edge
Step out to force a response, then return to cover before the opponent establishes a cross-control line.
Failure state
Overusing a short line-of-sight break can block your own healer during burst.

The 30-second plan

  1. 01 / Open

    Establish the anchor

    Claim a central obstacle with a clear retreat lane. Test which target leaves cover before committing major damage.

  2. 02 / Hold

    Preserve healer access

    Keep one obstacle between you and primary crowd control while preserving visibility of center. Rotate early when DPS approach from different angles.

  3. 03 / Pressure

    Attack the useful lane

    Use machinery to isolate a target from its healer, then connect control before it rounds the obstacle.

  4. 04 / Abort

    Recognize the losing route

    Overusing a short line-of-sight break can block your own healer during burst.

Role routes

Where each player should work

Healer

Keep one obstacle between you and primary crowd control while preserving visibility of center. Rotate early when DPS approach from different angles.

Melee

Cut through center to intercept the ramp exit instead of tracing its curve. Swap when the climb would line your healer behind the ramp body.

Ranged

Use the ramp to force travel, then continue to a conventional pillar for actual line-of-sight cover.

Map advantage

Toolkits this geometry rewards

Mobile ranged

The ramp adds travel before true cover.

Melee intercepts

Center cuts meet a predictable exit.

Knockbacks

Displacement changes elevation and support routes.

Unique map notes

Small decisions that win The Robodrome

  1. 1

    Ramp is movement, not home

    Tax pathing, then return to a real pillar.

  2. 2

    Intercept the landing

    Meet the target through center rather than mirroring the climb.

  3. 3

    Avoid border geometry

    The three large structures are the useful tactical cover.
