  1. 0–5sTake the safe ground; do not enter the middle first.
  2. 5–10sPoke to force a heal, then push the player who used it.
  3. 10–15sPlay the wall on the enemy side of the zone.
  4. 15–20sAt an advantage, hold angles and let them come.

Comeback: Group and take one angle at a time; a 2v3 retake from the same side beats two solo dives.
