Map Layout

The map is a twisted reflection of Midtown Manhattan, divided into three distinct lanes, each color-coded for tactical identification:

  • Yellow Lane (York Avenue)
  • Blue Lane (Broadway)
  • Green Lane (Park Avenue)

Between these lanes lies a labyrinth of tunnels, alleyways, and buildings containing Golden Statues, destructible crates, and neutral objectives.

Shops & Economy

Base Shops

Located in each team's spawn area. Always safe to access but requires returning to base.

Secret Shops

Two neutral shops located in the side tunnels between lanes. Allows purchasing items without returning to base, but is a contested area.

Crates & Statues

Destructible boxes have a 40% chance to drop Souls. Golden Statues grant permanent buffs to your hero (Weapon Dmg, Health, Spirit, etc.).

Lane Objectives

1. The Guardian
The first line of defense in each lane. A large stationary construct that fires at enemies. Must be destroyed to advance.
2. The Walker
A massive mobile fortress that blocks the path. It has high health and powerful area-of-effect attacks. Defeating it opens the path to the enemy base.
3. Base Guardians
Two guardians protecting the entrance to the base proper. They are the final gatekeepers before the Shrines.

The Patron

The ultimate objective. Located deep within the enemy base, protected by two Shrines.

Phase 1: Weakened State

After destroying Shrines, the Patron becomes vulnerable. It will fly around and attack.

Phase 2: The Pit

Once defeated in the air, it falls into the pit. Destroying it here wins the match.

Neutral Objectives

Mid Boss

Spawns at 10:00 in the underground center.

Drops the Rejuvenator crystal.

"A large alien creature with a regenerating shield and a deadly laser beam."

Soul Urn

Spawns at 10:00.

Must be carried to the delivery point on the opposite side of the map.

Reward: Large amount of Souls for the entire team and +1 Ability Point for the carrier.
