Nepal Tips and Strategies

Take Advantage of Cramped Control Points

Nepal features control points located in small and cramped locations, making them havens for close-range firefights. Use this to your advantage when pushing toward teams defending control points by using Heroes like Reaper, Junkrat, and Zarya, who excel at fighting in tight spaces.

Be Wary of Flanking Routes

Nepal also features plenty of flanking routes through its many narrow buildings and pathways. Due to this, be particularly mindful of flanking heroes like Genji, Reaper, and Sombra in this map, as they can take advantage of the terrain to strike from unexpected angles.

Shove Foes into Sanctum's Pitfall

Next to Sanctum's control point is a large bottomless pit that acts as an environmental hazard that both teams should always be wary of. Shove careless foes into this pitfall for easy eliminations by using Heroes with pushing abilities, like Lúcio, D.Va, and Orisa.

Team Explanation

This team works well on all three points in Nepal, taking advantage of the map's unique terrain, tight choke points, and ample flanking routes.

Winston quickly closes the distance with key enemy targets and teammates in need with Jump Pack and rapidly wears down foes with Tesla Cannon. His Barrier Projector is also a potent defensive tool in Nepal, providing ample cover and space control when securing the control point. Primal Rage excels at further disrupting the enemy team's positioning, capable of isolating crucial targets into corners and shoving enemies into the map's pitfalls.
Genji swiftly maneuvers Nepal's flanking routes with Cyber-Agility and Swift Strike, letting him quickly eliminate crucial targets from multiple angles. His Deflect is also a great tool for reflecting shots in the map's longer sightlines and during frantic close-range firefights. When engaging in fights around the control point, Dragonblade and Swift Strike resets let him quickly tear through multiple enemies.
Sojourn is capable of dueling both close-range fighters and enemy snipers with her Railgun, especially when empowered by her Overclock ultimate. Her Power Slide's high jump also allows her to cross the map's small gaps and reach its vantage points and flanking routes. To control space and deal with foes inside the control point, Sojourn's Disruptor Shot provides her with heavy area-based damage that also snares foes.
Ana takes advantage of Nepal's natural cover and longer sightlines to support her team from afar with Biotic Rifle. Her Sleep Dart and Biotic Grenade are also excellent tools for disabling crucial enemy targets and dealing with clumped-up groups of foes in the map's cramped rooms. Nano Boost also pairs well with Genji and Sojourn, providing them with increased damage output and survivability.
Lúcio improves his team's mobility with Speed Boost and Amp It Up, letting them secure Nepal's control points before the enemy team. He also provides potent area-based healing and survivability with his Healing Boost and Sound Barrier. Lúcio's Soundwave is also particularly potent in Sanctum due to the large pitfall beside the control point.

Alternatives (Situational Picks)

Tank	Damage	Support

Alternative Tanks

D.Va: D.Va is a potent alternative Tank in Nepal. She quickly bursts down foes in the map's narrow corridors with Fusion Cannons and Micro Missiles and efficiently shields her team from projectiles with Defense Matrix. Her Boosters also shine in Sanctum, letting her easily shove foes into the control point's pitfall. Self Destruct can also be a devastating ultimate when positioned properly along Nepal's choke points and control points.
Orisa: Orisa is another well-rounded alternative Tank for Nepal. Fortify and Javelin Spin let Orisa efficiently soak heavy damage and block deadly projectiles, making her incredibly tough to take down. She also has strong disruptive tools in Energy Javelin and Terra Surge, each of them incredibly potent when used in fights along the map's narrow streets and cramped control points.
Reinhardt: Reinhardt offers excellent cover along the Nepal's narrow corridors and sightlines with Barrier Field and deals massive damage up close with Rocket Hammer. The map's terrain also lets Reinhardt have an easier time landing multihit Fire Strikes and deadly Charges. When fighting around the control point, Earthshatter can disrupt entire enemy teams and sets them up for other abilities.
Zarya: Zarya provides excellent damage mitigation with her Barriers, which also empowers her Particle Cannon and lets her take down groups of foes with ease. Graviton Surge is a potent disruptive ultimate when used in Nepal's control points and choke points, especially when combined with her allies' other ultimates.

Alternative Damage

Junkrat: Junkrat can apply constant pressure toward Nepal's cramped control points and choke points with his Frag Launcher and easily wipes out grouped-up foes with Rip-Tire. He can also reach the map's vantage points and deal heavy burst damage with Concussion Mine while covering flanks and disrupting team fights with Steel Trap.
Mei: Nepal's unique terrain pairs well with all of Mei's skills, making her a great alternative Damage Hero. The map's ample cover, flanking routes, and cramped areas make up for her low mobility and let her make the most out of her Endothermic Blaster and Blizzard. Her Ice Wall is also incredibly potent in Nepal, capable of blocking entire pathways and isolating foes.
Reaper and Sombra: These two are excellent alternative flankers in Nepal. Reaper can maneuver around the map's flanking routes with Shadow Step before dealing devastating damage up close with Hellfire Shotguns and Death Blossom. Sombra offers more utility and disruption, moving around unseen with Stealth to disrupt and dispatch key enemy targets with Hack and EMP.

Alternative Supports

Baptiste: Baptiste offers potent area-based healing in Nepal's cramped terrain with Biotic Launcher and Regenerative Burst while fortifying his team's positioning with Immortality Field and Amplification Matrix. He can also access the map's high ground with Exo Boost, providing him with better angles for healing allies and shooting foes.
Moira: Nepal's narrow pathways and cramped areas let Moira efficiently use her Biotic Grasp and Biotic Orb, providing excellent healing and damage output for her team. Her Fade is also a potent mobility tool for crossing the map's short gaps and escaping behind natural cover. Coalescence also provides potent healing and damage when fighting around control points and choke points.
Kiriko: Kiriko is an excellent alternative Support in Nepal. She can quickly move through the map's cramped terrain with Swift Step to escape from danger and reach teammates in need. Her Protection Suzu is also incredibly potent when used in the map's choke points and control points, especially against enemy Ana players. Kitsune Rush also excels at attacking and defending control points with its numerous potent buffs.
