Opening position
Take the inside of your near-side pillar and establish a lane through midfield. Do not chase to the far pillars unless your team can protect the healer crossing.

Nagrand Arena
Four offset pillars and a broad central lane.
The neutral reference map: open enough for casters to pressure, with compact pillar pockets for melee to reconnect and reset.

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
Play the inside edge of a side pillar for the widest view of midfield. Rotate only with a clear path and protection from the enemy's crowd control.
Damage plan
Use midfield to pressure both DPS while one teammate gatekeeps the enemy healer. Kiting a target toward its pillar can pull that team apart.
Do not lose here
A deep chase turns your healer's safe side into an exposed midfield crossing.
Map-Specific Edge
Nagrand Arena tip
Same-side pillar travel is much shorter than crossing the map. Treat that as your escape route and the enemy's weakness.
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.
