Dorado is full of tight corners, high ground, and long sightlines—perfect for a flexible Torbjörn who knows how to adapt. Here's how to make the most out of your molten craftiness:
🧱 General Playstyle
Torbjörn on Dorado Defense shines when you mix up your approach. Use unpredictability as your main weapon. Rotate between turret distraction, close-range burst, and long-range chip depending on the enemy comp and where the fight is.
📍 Positioning Per Phase
📦 Point A (Payload Start)
Opening Play: Surprise flank or corner ambush near enemy spawn tunnel. Use overload and shotgun blast to burst squishies before falling back or dying heroically.
Turret Spots:
High ground above payload start (left balcony) to force early focus.
On cart path behind barrels—hidden but still gets good chip damage.
Tips:
Shoot from long-range early to soften targets.
Switch to shotgun + overload if they push up close.
🏘️ Mid-Street (After First Point)
Playstyle: Mid/long-range chip with turret support, using flank routes to surprise.
Turret Spots:
On the arch above the street (difficult to reach, good angle).
Inside one of the side buildings near fountain—forces enemy to enter.
Ambush Tactics:
Hide around corners near choke turns—surprise shotgun + overload burst.
Place turret opposite your position to draw attention and set up crossfire.
🕍 Final Point (Courtyard & Inside)
Playstyle: Tricky, use verticality. Focus on stalling with turret, delaying with Molten Core.
Turret Spots:
Inside the top right hallway (hidden and annoying).
On crates near final door (draws fire from supports).
Tips:
Use Molten Core on the payload or tight corners for area denial.
Hide above the archway or shelves—drop for a surprise kill.
🎯 Tactics & Mind Games
Corner Shotgun Ambush: Use overload and right-click for burst at close corners, especially around bends or flanks.
Long-Range Poke: Fire consistent left-click at choke entries, supports, or squishies. Chip damage adds up and charges ult.
Surprise Spawn Pressure: Occasionally rush spawn-side off-angle and catch enemies rotating late—don’t overstay.
Turret Distraction: Place turret off-angle or out of sight. While they hunt it, you can peek from the opposite direction for free damage.
🔥 Ultimate Usage – Molten Core
Deny Zones: Drop it on cart, doorways, or health packs during a push.
Split Team: Force enemies to split path or stagger—combo with enemy ult (Grav, Blizzard, etc.).
Clutch Delay: If you’re last on point, spin in circles and drop it to stall—sometimes all you need.
🧠 Final Tips
Change turret location often.
Mix aggressive peeks with sneaky traps.
Don't always defend from the “usual” Torb spots—be weird, it works.
Abuse small corridors—Molten Core + shotgun makes you a mini-Reaper.
