Last Friday, I posted a titanic article on the Atlantis keyword in anticipation of the just-released Brightest Day Action Pack featuring Aquaman. Early in it, I listed all the tournament-legal maps containing water terrain. But I didn’t know the Brightest Day map would also contain water on both sides!

The Crater has a small 3×3 spot of water on one end that usually won’t be very useful for Atlantis, but if they lose map choice, it might be good to have that end of the map to retreat to. Also, if you place the Opened Hydrant special object in the special squares in the center of the map, you’ll have nigh-permanent water terrain down there; it then can’t be destroyed. Use this to surprising advantage!

On the flipside, The Monument has a much larger and longer pool of water along one side of the map, equally accessible by both ends. The elevated portion of the map has great nooks to place the Opened Hydrant to create extra watery zones on the ground, too.

Look for Atlantis battle reports in the coming weeks.
