Opening position
Decide before gates whether your team wants bridge or floor. Do not split levels without a mobility plan back to your healer.

Blade's Edge Arena
A raised bridge, ramps, and lower pockets with limited conventional cover.
Vertical movement changes target access. The bridge can create pressure and displacement plays, but it also makes healer line of sight fragile.

Geometry briefing
This is a durable orientation brief for the map's terrain and line-of-sight choices. It remains available, but is intentionally excluded from search until current-rotation research, mode-specific examples, and visual callouts have been source-reviewed.
Game Plan
Position with a purpose
Healer plan
Choose a level that keeps both partners visible. The bridge edge is only safe while your team can deny a knockback or return quickly.
Damage plan
Use ramps to force awkward pathing and punish enemies who spend mobility reaching your level.
Do not lose here
Following a target from bridge to floor, or floor to bridge, can create an unhealable gap.
Map-Specific Edge
Blade's Edge Arena tip
Force opponents to spend mobility reaching your level, then use your own to reset instead of following blindly.
Fundamentals
Arena positioning and team play
Review healer radius, triangle positioning, cooldown trades, roles, and class identities.
Setup
Arena macros and keybinds
Build arena-target, focus, party utility, and stopcast controls that work when the map gets chaotic.
