![]() ![]() This map rewards last-ditch attempts at victory with a rush of warheads. ![]() If you’re behind, Warhead Junction is unique in that one good move can snowball the game into a victory for your team.įocus on abusing predictable movements when the warheads spawn to get a numbers advantage, and regain control of the map with warheads themselves. If you’re ahead, winning is common sense: maintain control of objectives, don’t get greedy, and build your lead until you can finish. That's a goal to look towards if you’re ahead, while the latter strategy is often more available to teams who are behind. There’s two ways to win on Warhead Junction: push with a boss after wiping out the enemy team, or push with warheads. It’s best to take out a boss when the enemy is either taking the other boss and you’re unable to contest that or when the enemy team are all dead. They’re heavy on area of effect damage and force heroes to avoid regularly-spawning locusts, meaning they’ll whittle down the whole team rather than just one target. The two bosses on Warhead Junction are incredibly strong but difficult to capture. This sort of tactic was used at Blizzcon, even, resulting in utter chaos. Fire the warhead on the capture location of a boss to force the enemy to either run away or take a huge chunk of damage if they desire to contest it. While using a warhead on enemy heroes is rarely a good thing-the firing time is long enough for them to run away-it can be effective during boss fights. Later on, warheads will often be more plentiful as teams hold on to them. Outnumber the opponent when you know their location to claw back some experience. If you’re behind, use the warhead phases to set up teamfights in your favour. Maintain your advantage by not getting heavily outnumbered at the warheads-remember that if your enemy is pushed back to their base, they won’t be able to fire a warhead at your structures. If you’re ahead, maintain control of warheads when they spawn and use a creeping barrage of nukes to reach the enemy core. With a little co-ordination, a rush on the enemy is a viable tactic to take down a keep. The centre of each explosion deals increased damage, and if you fire a couple at once you can easily take out structures. At this point you need to start making conscious decisions about what to do with your warheads. Later, the nuclear warheads will spawn in the same order: two, then four, then back to two. The warhead on your side is safer in terms of its location, but you can also be sure that at least one enemy will be nearby-for that reason, if you’re looking to go for that warhead, do so with an escort. ![]() If you’re even or behind, know where your opponents are and anticipate their movements to go even on warheads if you can. The longer it takes, the longer you’re out of lanes and losing experience on top of everything else. If you over-commit to this, however, you’ll be sacrificing at least the other two warheads in other lanes, and if it’s unsuccessful, maybe the warhead on the enemy’s side too. If you’re ahead you can go for the warhead toward the enemy’s side: the benefit of this, if successful, is that one allied hero can safely channel your team's equivalent warhead to capture that without fear. Here’s where your ingenuity will come into play. Two will spawn in two central locations, while each of the others will be weighted towards one team. In the next wave, four warheads will spawn. In the first two waves, fire your warheads as soon as possible. See below for just how to fire it to get damage across as many structures as possible. Use that first warhead to take out the front wall of a fort as well as the nearby fountain. Try to either match the enemy’s numbers and set up before them, ambushing an opponent to force them back, or outnumber them at one warhead to go even on warheads captured and maybe use that numbers advantage to nab a kill. If you’ve got control of the central watchtower, it’s possible to get an accurate count easily. If you think you can anticipate the way the enemy will be moving, you can take advantage of it.
