So much is contained in a name! “En Poisson” is a triple pun here:
- “Poisson” is French for fish, and this map has two cute little fish made out of walls.
- Phobies is frequently called “chess with monsters” by the fan base. “En Poisson” sounds like “En Passant”, which is French for “in passing” and is the name of a chess technique. The fish here passing by one another.
- In English, poisson looks a lot like “poison”, which is the map theme - two fishies swimming down poison canals.
This is a map where I definitely thought of the name first, then the theme, and then how to make it work. The result is a hardcore fight in the middle over seven panic points.
The hearts are vulnerable from behind and the side. Flyers can approach the walls leading up to them. However the fish, ever deteriorating in the poison river, can also be terrorformed to allow a lobber offensive positioning near the heart. Players will have to judge the tradeoff in tempo and central map control, especially since too little central map control can lead players to have direct frontal access to the enemy heart!
Each player also has an incentive to break their own fish down a bit, since the healing spa within the fish also provides a solid point of control for an enemy panic point. Controlling this healing spa defensively also means a strong degree of protection for a player’s heart. The two walls in the middle “road” region are intended to make heart defensive more awkward, and to limit accessibility of turrets to nearby panic points.
While there are an abundance of healing spas to cure poison, I predict that the tempo of this map through the combined heart vulnerability and seven central panic points will severely diminish their utility, similar to how The Pyro Abyss plays out. The middle healing spa primarily exists to ensure 1-movement non-mechanical Phobies have some kind of path into the central battle area. I feel as though this map layout will be an extremely intense affair.
Finally, the abundance of poison near the key hole means that only mechs can pause on the river. Non-mechs may need to travel through the lonely save passage provided by the healing spa near the key hole to enter battle. Be careful, or you might get pushed back into the river!

Theme: Old, Paintings, Indoors, Dark.
Note: I know the Theme might not be terrifying at first, but staying in a dark place full of classic paintings and nothing else has something eerie, i would freak out in 10 mins. (And i wanna say sorry for the concept, it isn’t as good as the other two)
