This volcanic archipelago served once as a gateway in the human wars of the 21st century. Transformed for tournament use, a series of bridges now connects the islands. These bridges, though excellent use for ground based vehicles, do not provide a direct path to battle. Manta's will be the primary choice for transportation.

Strategies

As the description for the map suggests, the optimal form of transportation is the manta due to it's ability to float over water. For some reason, all ground based vehicles take damage rapidly and explode when they tread water deep enough. Swimming is also impractical, as it's slow and makes players vulnerable.
