Dorado Tips and Strategies

Play Around the Market's Choke Point

The archway before the marketplace in Dorado is infamous for being difficult to push through due to its exceptionally narrow path and numerous vantage points on the defenders' side.

Defending teams should always play to the location's strengths and pick heroes like Ashe and Zarya to hold down the choke point. On the other hand, attacking teams should prioritize picking high-mobility Heroes like Genji and Winston to slip past the choke and reach enemy targets.

Utilize Dorado's High Ground

The section past Dorado's first checkpoint has numerous rooftops and archways that teams can use as vantage points on offense and defense. Heroes that can take full advantage of the section's long sightlines, like Widowmaker and Ana, are particularly strong on this section of the map.

Take Advantage of Map Verticality

Dorado's second and third sections also feature a high vertical skybox and a decent amount of natural cover. Due to this, Heroes with high aerial mobility, like Pharah and Echo, are great picks for attacking and defending the map's two last checkpoints.

Alternatives (Situational Picks)

Tank	Damage	Support

Alternative Tanks

• D.Va and Winston: These two Tanks are excellent alternatives for aggressive attacking teams, capable of diving with their mobile Damage Heroes to take out crucial enemy targets. Each Hero also offers its own unique defensive utility, with D.Va's Defense Matrix capable of absorbing projectiles and ultimates and Winston's Barrier Projector excelling at controlling space.
• Sigma: Sigma's Experimental Barrier and Kinetic Grasp excel at covering his team and smothering advancing enemies along Dorado's narrow pathways. Accretion and Gravitic Flux are also powerful disruptive abilities when used along the map's choke points and cramped spaces, making him a potent alternative tank for attacking and defending teams.
• Wrecking Ball: Wrecking Ball is another potent alternative Tank for attacking and defending teams, having high mobility and specializing in disrupting enemy positioning with Roll, Grappling Hook, and Piledriver. Minefield is also an excellent area denial tool when used near the payload and along Dorado's narrow streets.

Alternative Damage

• Hanzo: Hanzo is another strong marksman option for defending teams. Reaching vantage points with Wall Climb, he can pick off crucial targets with lethal Storm Bow headshots while providing vital enemy information with Sonic Arrow. Dragonstrike is also a devastating ultimate when used along Dorado's narrow pathways and choke points.
• Pharah: If the opposing team lacks hitscan and crowd control, Pharah is a strong Damage pick for both attacking and defending teams. Coupled with her aerial mobility, Rocket Launcher and Barrage can quickly take down groups of foes in the map's choke points and tight corridors.
• Soldier: 76: Soldier: 76 is a well-rounded alternative frontline Damage Hero for attacking and defending teams, sporting potent hitscan with Heavy Pulse Rifle and excellent burst damage with Helix Rockets. He can also quickly reposition and maneuver Dorado's flanking routes with Sprint, letting him efficiently attack from multiple angles and set up devastating Tactical Visor plays.
• Sombra: Sombra is another potent flanker for both attacking and defending teams, capable of navigating flanking routes unseen with Stealth and disabling and dispatching key enemy targets with Hack. EMP is also a potent ultimate when used in team fights around the payload and along Dorado's narrow streets.

Alternative Supports

• Baptiste: Baptiste offers defending teams potent area-based healing with Biotic Launcher and Regenerative Burst while fortifying their positioning with Immortality Field and Amplification Matrix. He can also access Dorado's vantage points with Exo Boost, providing him with better angles for healing allies and shooting foes.
• Brigitte: Brigitte is a solid alternative Support for both teams. She reliably follows and assists Damage Heroes in the frontline with Rocket Flail and Inspire and can protect her allies and push away threats in tight choke points with Barrier Shield and Whip Shot. Rally is also useful for attacking and defending payloads, allowing Brigitte to move around faster while providing temporary health to her allies.
• Moira: Moira offers potent burst healing and respectable damage output using Biotic Grasp and Biotic Orb, with the latter capable of bouncing around Dorado's narrow paths and choke points. Her Fade gives her excellent mobility and survivability, letting her safely retreat and quickly reach teammates in need. Coalescence rounds out her utility, being an excellent healing and damaging tool when fighting near the payload and the map's straight roads.
