Techies
Make predictable routes dangerous and use explosive control to protect a chosen objective.
First check
Which entrance will enemies need, and who can help confirm the next Blast Off catch?
Play as Techies
- Place mines to protect a route your team will actually use rather than scattering them around empty ground.
- Coordinate Blast Off with an ally already approaching the same target, and decide where you will recover.
- Use Sticky Bomb to contest a wave or force movement before the enemy can settle near an objective.
Play against Techies
- Use vision and careful pathing when moving through an area Techies has had time to prepare.
- Spread around an objective so Blast Off cannot start a fight against every responder at once.
- Clear the supporting wave and change your entry route rather than repeatedly testing the same defended corridor.
Make the lesson stick
For three prepared areas, note the route covered, enemy path taken, allied follow-up, and objective value.
