A favourite map of mine mainly because of its shape and size, this map can simply be traversed in seconds by a good ranger. The two bases at first glance seem fairly open however the most direct access to the base is by jump pad shooting you high into the air into the middle of the base. Each base has its own cave complex with a spawn point and energy source making this the only map where both teams start with an energy source. The other four energy sources provide excessive amounts of energy to bolster the toughest defences to make attacking on this map hell when both teams have high amounts of energy.

Jump 1: This jump is mainly useful if you start on the blue team and are rushing to get to the red base as fast as possible. Its a normal slope jump which takes you from the marked slope onto the top of the bridge saving a little time when traversing the map and allowing for a big seconds jump from the bridge. To perform this jump dodge boost into the marked point as close to the edge of the small slope as possible, this will launch you high enough into the air to be able to land on the bridge.

Jump 2: This set of two jumps is particularly useful when attacking the red base, they take you from the red node to the cliffs above allowing you to escape any following techs or gunners with reasonable ease. To perform the two slope jumps, firstly dodge boost into the first marked slope, taking you up to the platform above, make sure you have enough boost energy for the next jump (about half full) and dodge boost into the second slope aiming slightly left towards the marked point. You should slide up the slope and land on the top allowing for an easy escape around the hills.

...

Jump 3: This jump is possibly the easiest way to escape from the red base. It allows you to jump over the edge of the cliff at the left side of the red base and slide down a slope taking no damage as you fall. To perform simply jump off the edge of the marked cliff and slide down the marked slope, hugging the wall all the way. Land close to the marked point and you should have full health.
