Route
How to enter
Approach through a lane that gives your Strategists a retreat path.
Contest
How to touch
Force defenders away from point-side cover before spending ultimates.
Reset
How to leave
When control flips, stop at the next playable cover and deny the enemy's re-entry.
Mode briefing
Domination
Teams fight over control rounds where first entry, mid-fight trades, and regroup discipline decide the capture.
Vanguard
Take the point-side lane that gives your supports a line to you, then stop overextending once control flips.
Duelist
Win a short angle before touching. Solo touches work only when they buy a real teammate return.
Strategist
Pick the safest sightline that can still see the point, and rotate as soon as the enemy starts wrapping you.
Domination punishes trickle deaths harder than almost anything. Reset fast and re-enter together.

Map review loop
Turn Hellfire Gala: Krakoa into three simple calls
A good map read should change a decision you can actually make in match. For Domination, start by naming the first playable route, then decide what a useful contest looks like, and finally call the reset before the team drifts into stagger deaths. Use these prompts after a loss to separate a map problem from a hero-pick problem.
First fight
Name the route
Before hero select ends, decide which lane or cover piece lets your team enter without spending every defensive cooldown at once.
Objective fight
Define the touch
A useful contest buys overtime, forces resources, or starts a real trade. If it only creates one isolated death, leave and rebuild.
After loss
Review the pattern
If Hellfire Gala: Krakoa keeps feeling impossible, check the watch points first, then adjust route timing before blaming the whole comp.
