General Strategy (All Classes)

- 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
Scout
- 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.
Soldier
- 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.
Pyro
- Due to the control point being elevated above an out of sight area, you can use the Backburner to flank around the point and burn the distracted enemies, giving your team an opening to cap it.
Demoman
Heavy
Engineer
- 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.
- You can use this Teleporter to sneak another building through, such as a level 3 Sentry Gun, and use it to pick off enemies or block the enemy team's path to the point for a while and allow your team to start controlling more of the map.
Medic
Sniper
- 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.
