Quick Strategy Tips
Full guideSamoa is a tropical Polynesian control map with three sub-maps: Beach, a coastal village area; Ruins, an ancient overgrown temple complex; and Village, a traditional island settlement. Samoa is one of the newer control maps and features distinctive Polynesian architecture with water edges creating environmental hazards throughout. Beach and Ruins both have water flanking the control zones, rewarding heroes with knockback. Village is more enclosed and favours close-range compositions. Each sub-map requires distinct positional awareness due to the water edge threats.
