Midtown Tips and Strategies

Use the Building Beside the Control Point

The fire station building beside Midtown's control point benefits both attacking and defending teams. For defenders, the first and second floors provide excellent sightlines for shooting down foes passing through the nearby choke point. For attackers, the building acts as an added angle of attack toward defending teams sitting on the control point.

Utilize High Ground Around Midtown Tunnel

The Midtown Tunnel entrance provides defenders with plenty of high ground to prevent attackers from pushing the payload through the tunnel. Heroes like Sigma, Ashe, and Sojourn excel at using these vantage points to fend off attacking teams.

Snipe from Grand Central's Vantage Points

The entrance to Grand Central Station also features numerous perches and vantage points, which snipers like Widowmaker can easily reach with their mobility skills. Take full advantage of these locations by using them to snipe down foes passing through the station's tight pathways.

Alternatives (Situational Picks)

Tank	Damage	Support

Alternative Tanks

• Orisa: Orisa is a well-rounded Tank that works well for attacking and defending teams. Fortify and Javelin Spin make Orisa incredibly hard to take down, with the latter also capable of blocking projectiles and disrupting enemy positioning. Her Energy Javelin and Terra Surge are strong crowd control skills, especially when used around objectives and along Midtown's choke points.
• Roadhog: Roadhog is a potent offensive Tank on attacking and defending teams, having an easy time landing Chain Hooks and Scrap Gun blasts in the Midtown's narrow streets to take out key enemy targets. The map's terrain also makes his Whole Hog more effective for breaking enemy positioning and cornering dangerous foes.
• Winston: Winston is another strong, aggressive Tank pick for attacking teams, capable of quickly reaching key enemy targets and teammates in need with Jump Pack and wearing foes down with Tesla Cannon. He also has respectable cover and space control with Barrier Projector and provides heavy disruption in team fights with Primal Rage.
• Zarya: Zarya is an excellent pick for both attacking and defending teams. She absorbs heavy firepower with Particle and Projected Barrier and turns the stored damage around on her foes with Particle Cannon, tearing through groups of enemies with ease. Graviton Surge is also extremely effective for disrupting grouped-up teams around objectives and Midtown's tight roads.

Alternative Damage

• Genji and Tracer: Both Genji and Tracer can replace Sombra's flanking role due to their excellent mobility and high burst damage. Tracer offers more single-target focus with her Pulse Pistols and Pulse Bomb, while Genji has stronger multikill potential with Swift Strike and Dragonblade.
• 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 near Midtown's objectives, straight pathways, and choke points.
• 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 around Midtown with Sprint, letting him flank from multiple angles and set up devastating Tactical Visor plays.

Alternative Supports

• Ana: Ana provides potent single-target burst healing and damage output with her versatile Biotic Rifle, especially when used from Midtown's high ground. Her Biotic Grenade and Sleep Dart provide excellent utility, capable of breaking even team fights and disabling key enemy targets. In addition, Nano Boost enhances the survivability and damage output of her team's DPS Heroes.
• Brigitte: Brigitte excels at holding down positions for attacking and defending teams, assisting her team in the frontline with Rocket Flail and Inspire, and keeping her allies safe 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 is another solid Support pick for Midtown, with Biotic Grasp and Biotic Orb pairing well with the map's narrow terrain. She also has high mobility with Fade, letting her catch up with aggressive teammates. Coalescence is also a potent ultimate in Midtown, providing excellent healing and damage when fighting near the map's objectives and straight roads.
