This article is about Community Rotunda strategy.

General Strategy (All Classes)

See also: Community King of the Hill strategy
  • Each team has a train at their spawn that can be jumped on to get a speed boost when getting to the control point.
  • There is an extensive tunnel network under and around the control point, containing a small health kit and a medium ammo pack. These routes can help flanking classes get behind the enemy lines quicker and safer, especially as they can be accessed from spawn.

Class-specific strategy

  • The control point has an area on top of it that is too high up for most classes, but Scouts can access it through a double jump. Once you are on top, you have a large positioning advantage over those below on the control point.

  • As a Soldier you also can get onto the control point's roof with a rocket jump. However, this may require a smaller rocket jump than usual to prevent any unnecessary air time and vulnerability.

  • Not many players will be in the tunnels around the point, making it an ideal spot for a teleporter. It allows your team to get directly behind the enemy team or in front of their spawn. The Eureka Effect's ability to teleport to your own Teleporter exit and reduced Teleporter cost is a great choice for this strategy.
  • Further, you can upgrade a sentry to level 3 at spawn, go through your teleporter behind enemy lines, and place the sentry in a spot like right

outside the enemy spawn or at the entrance to the main enclosed area; blocking the other team off from the point.

  • The two platforms overlooking the control point give a large sightline over the entire inner part of the map which includes into the control point. This is a strong defensive position to ease the stress on your team while defending, but can also be used to create an opening for a push.
