Take, for instance, the Sanctuary map, where you can initially advance towards the drum near the coastline. By doing so, if the opposing team has already seized control of the point, you will possess a superior position as you launch your offensive. The identical strategy applies to the elevated platforms above the objective on MEKA Base.

As the Defending team, consider strategizing by initially positioning yourselves near the enemy spawn room at the beginning of the match.

When playing on Defense, it’s wise to establish your position on the elevated platforms close to the enemy team’s spawn room. To reach Point A, the payload has no choice but to go under the bridge, so seizing this strategic spot puts you at an advantageous position while the enemy struggles to make their way along the designated route.
As the Defending team, why not push the boundaries of strategy by positioning your squad right at the doorstep of the enemy team’s spawn room before the match commences? With a masterful display of stealth, you can truly catch them off guard. Additionally, the gas pumps adorning the exterior of the Attacking spawn room offer excellent cover to engage in intense combat.

While playing as the Defending team, the allure of holding onto the high ground may be strong as the enemy diligently moves the payload towards the initial checkpoint. Yet, the moment they triumphantly maneuver the payload beneath the bridge, your advantageous position becomes a thing of the past.

Tips for Playing Numbani
As a member of the Defending team, the allure of pursuing the enemy team to their very spawn can be irresistible, particularly when you believe that you hold the upper hand. However, exercising caution and refraining from overextending is crucial, especially considering the possibility of the enemy team possessing a significant Ultimate advantage. Being caught out of position can prove detrimental, as just a handful of impeccably timed enemy Ultimates could result in the loss of the initial point.
Opt for agile heroes with exceptional mobility during the Attack phase, especially when aiming to conquer Point A. It is highly likely that the opposing team will have established their positions on elevated terrains. To successfully claim the point, your most favorable strategy is to dislodge them from their advantageous platforms or coerce them into abandoning their positions, thereby enticing them to confront you directly at the objective.
