Position is progression

Stages

A Break can change the arena, add a teammate, expand resources, and hand the attacker the next offensive turn.

Documented stage structures

Stage	Areas	Documented walls	Break plan
X-Mansion	1	No transition areas	Treat both edges as final walls; Break becomes wall pressure.
Marvel’s New York	3	One area to each side	Route a Break toward the side that preserves your preferred screen position.
Marvel’s New York (Night)	3	One area to each side	Same documented area structure as the daytime variant.
Wakanda	3	One area to each side	A central start allows one transition in either direction.
Savage Land	5	Two areas to each side	Long transition runway; multiple Breaks can assemble the full team.
Knowhere	5	Five areas; edge data not listed	Verify the live edge state before routing a corner cash-out.
Asgard	5	Two areas to each side	Plan a long sequence of transition pressure and resource growth.

A Break transitions to the next area, ends the current combo, and leaves the attacker strongly advantaged for immediate pressure.

With no further area available, a Break attack produces a wall splat and a slower pickup/setup opportunity.

Both can assemble the next teammate, grant Assemble Gauge, and expand the team’s health/resource ceiling.

At round start, note the active area and which side still has a transition.
Choose a combo ender based on the edge: take the Break for team growth or keep position for a different setup.
After transition, expect the attacker to continue pressure; do not assume the screen change reset the turn to neutral.
When the final wall is reached, practice the character-specific wall-splat pickup in Training.
