Attack
Numbani requires a fast team with high mobility and strong ranged abilities, around every corner there can be a long sight line for heroes such as McCree McCree "Justice ain t gonna dispense itself." Real Name Jesse McCree Age 37 Nationality American Occupation Bounty Hunter Base Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA Affiliation Overwatch (formerly) Blackwatch (formerly) Voice Matthew Mercer 1] (English) Boris Rehlinger and Soldier: 76 to take advantage of. When attacking on Numbani, it is recommended to take advantage of and attempt to control the various catwalks and ledges as much as possible, as the high ground in this map allows high mobility heroes like Hanzo Hanzo "With every death comes honor. With honor, redemption." Real Name Hanzo Shimada (島田半蔵) 1] Age 38 Nationality Japanese Occupation Mercenary, Assassin Base Hanamura, Japan (formerly) Affiliation Shimada Clan (formerly) Relations Sojiro Shimada (father) Genji and Genji Genji "Even if I sacrifice my body, I will never sacrifice my honor." Real Name Genji Shimada (島田源氏) 1] Other Names Sparrow Age 35 Nationality Japanese Occupation Adventurer Base Hanamura, Japan (formerly) Shambali Monastery, Nepal to move into position behind your team without ever stepping near the payload. The spawn distances for attackers is about equal with the defenders, so taking a strong position on or near the point is more valuable than on a map with a very short attacker spawn like King`s Row.
Assault
The first point on Numbani has four main locations to pay attention to as a defender, you have the main point which you are trying to defend, the ledge near Top and the staircase, the far bridge and walkway on the opposite side of Top closer to defender spawn and the main entrance aka Mid. There is also a door on the back side of the point that leads into the rest of the map that some heroes may use to escape, but staying in this area is often a bad idea.
When positioning your team, it is recommended to place ranged healers like Ana Ana "Never stop fighting for what you believe in." Real Name Ana Amari Other Names HorusShrike Status Active Age 60 Nationality Egyptian Occupation Sharpshooter (formerly)Overwatch second-in-command (formerly)Bounty hunter Base Cairo, Egypt Affiliation Egyptian security forces and Zenyatta Zenyatta "True self is without form."

Real Name Jesse McCree Age 37 Nationality American Occupation Bounty Hunter Base Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA Affiliation Overwatch (formerly) Blackwatch (formerly) Voice Matthew Mercer 1] (English) Boris Rehlinger on the far bridge and walkway, making use of the long sight lines and cover there, while the more close ranged heroes like Mercy Mercy "I ll be watching over you." Real Name Angela Ziegler Age 37 Nationality Swiss Occupation Field Medic First Responder Base Zürich, Switzerland Affiliation Overwatch (formerly) Voice Lucie Pohl (English) Sybille Tureau (French)Chiara Francese (Italian)Sayaka Ohara , Reinhardt Reinhardt "Justice will be done." Real Name Reinhardt Wilhelm Age 61 Nationality German Occupation Adventurer Base Stuttgart, Germany Affiliation Crusaders (formerly) Overwatch (formerly) Voice Darin De Paul 1] (English) Patrice Mellenec (French) Paolo Mar.ese (Italian) and Reaper Reaper "Death walks among you." Real Name Gabriel Reyes Age Unknown Nationality American Occupation Mercenary Base Unknown Affiliation United States military (formerly)Overwatch (formerly)Various, including Talon (mercenary status) Voice Keith Ferguson (English) Jérémie Covillault (French)Oliviero Corbetta can be positioned on Top to cover the choke. This position gives your ranged healer and DPS role a large view of the point while still being within their effective range, and the rest of your team is in a good position to control the position that gives the attackers the most options. If the attacking team decides to avoid Top and go a different path, then the healer or ranged DPS will be able to spot them and notify the rest of the team to position accordingly.
Remember that dropping onto the point with attackers on the high ground makes you very vulnerable, so try to avoid leaving your position unless it is absolutely necessary.

Real Name Jesse McCree Age 37 Nationality American Occupation Bounty Hunter Base Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA Affiliation Overwatch (formerly) Blackwatch (formerly) Voice Matthew Mercer 1] (English) Boris Rehlinger , Widowmaker and Genji Genji "Even if I sacrifice my body, I will never sacrifice my honor." Real Name Genji Shimada (島田源氏) 1] Other Names Sparrow Age 35 Nationality Japanese Occupation Adventurer Base Hanamura, Japan (formerly) Shambali Monastery, Nepal are good for this map, due to the many ledges and walkways that allow them to get a heavy vertical and tactical advantage. Genji can escape to a large slew of rooms and ledges to avoid death. Widowmaker can use her grappling hook to send herself flying across the map onto something like the payload or a walkway. McCree can use one of the various flanking spots to use his Flashbang + Fan The Hammer + Tactical Roll to easily pick off squishes like Tracer and Soldier: 76.
