Tips and tricks[]
- It's possible to use the icy cliffs for quick entrances to each bases, but each has its risks. Naturally, the cliffs near the waterfall comprise the long road, expose attackers, and also have the added risk of falling to the cold water. The cliffs near the middle building may not have the waterfall, but still expose the attackers and are biased towards the blue team.
- Remember the Flag Carrier's Creed: don't engage in fights needlessly. Once you get the flag, escape as soon as possible from the bases, because the Foyer areas tend to get quickly filled with enemy players.
- The bases themselves are symmetrical, so no matter what your strategy inside of them is, they should work the same. However, the outside area isn't symmetrical. Bear this in mind when escaping with the flag.
- When defending, place a defender with the best possible aim in the upper hall closer to the middle building cliffs, as there's a strong possibility that an attack may come from this location.
Trivia[]
- The two health packs below the bridge are floating in the water.
