Circuit Royal Tips and Strategies

Take Advantage of Early Choke Points

Since Circuit Royal's early sections lean heavily in the defending team's favor, they should always make the most of the map's early choke points. Prioritize using Heroes that excel at using long sightlines and holding down tight choke points, like Widowmaker and Sigma, when playing defense on Circuit Royal.

Utilize the First Point's Verticality

The area past Circuit Royal's first checkpoint features a high vertical skybox and a great vantage point on the defending side. Both teams should take full advantage of the section's unique terrain, with attacking teams prioritizing Heroes with high vertical mobility, like Pharah and Winston, and defending teams prioritizing Heroes that excel on the high ground, like Junkrat and Ashe.

Memorize the Hotel's Layout

Hotel Arche in Circuit Royal's final section is a maze filled with numerous vantage points and flanking routes, which means that teams familiar with the area's layout have the upper hand. Familiarize yourself with the hotel's environment and terrain to improve your chances of winning in Circuit Royal.

Alternatives (Situational Picks)

Tank	Damage	Support

Alternative Tanks

• Doomfist and Wrecking Ball: These Tanks can quickly maneuver around Circuit Royal and excel at disrupting enemy positioning, making them excellent alternative picks for aggressive teams. They also have abilities that can shove enemies into environmental hazards, making them particularly strong around the 1st checkpoint.
• Reinhardt: Reinhardt is a solid pick for attacking and defending teams, blocking sniper fire and covering narrow pathways with Barrier Field. His Fire Strike and Earthshatter are also potent skills when used along the map's flat choke points.
• Zarya: Zarya is another solid alternative for attacking and defending teams, capable of absorbing heavy fire power with her Barriers and turning the damage around with her Particle Cannon. Graviton Surge also excels at disrupting enemy teams that clump up around choke points and the payload.

Alternative Damage

• Hanzo: Like Widowmaker, Hanzo is another marksman that excels at landing lethal headshots with his Storm Bow from Circuit Royal's vantage points. He is a great alternative sniper for defending teams, capable of granting enemy information with Sonic Arrow and eliminating groups of foes along the map's narrow pathways with Dragonstrike.
• Pharah and Junkrat: These Damage Heroes are great alternative picks for attacking and defending teams, offering plenty of area of effect damage for securing or breaking through the map's choke points. Pharah offers more offensive utility, capable of taking to the skies and attacking from different angles. Junkrat offers more defensive utility, controlling the area with his traps and lobbing grenades from high ground.
• Sombra: Sombra is an excellent alternative flanker for attacking teams, capable of moving through sightlines undetected with Stealth and using Hack to disable and dispatch enemy snipers and other crucial targets. EMP is also potent for initiating team fights and disabling grouped-up foes.

Alternative Supports

• Lúcio: Lúcio provides attacking and defending teams with a Speed Boost, allowing them to secure the payload and return to the fray faster. His Soundwave and Sound Barrier are also effective for securing his team's positioning and keeping them alive in team fights.
• Moira: Moira's Biotic Orb and Coalescence shine along Circuit Royal's tight corridors and long pathways, being potent healing and damage tools. She also has great mobility in Fade and excellent burst healing with Biotic Grasp.
• Zenyatta: Zenyatta is another strong pick for defending teams, having strong healing tools in Transcendence and Orb of Harmony, and amplifying his team's damage with Orb of Discord. His Orbs of Destruction also excel at sniping down enemies from the map's high ground, dealing massive damage on critical hits.
