How to Play Hot Zone
Hot Zone is a capture mode: standing inside the marked zones fills your team's meter, and the first to 100% wins. Seconds-in-zone is everything, so brawlers with survivability and area control outperform pure damage.
Tanks, sustained-presence brawlers, and controllers who can lay pools or spawnables around the zone are the core picks. On two-zone maps, splitting 2-1 to tick both meters usually beats stacking all three players in one zone.
With a big lead you don't need to fight inside the zone at all — blocking the entrances from outside stops the enemy meter just as well. Form a line in front of the zone and let the clock do the work.
