Best Maps for Darth Maul:

1. Naboo

• Tight corridors and wide-open flanks make for perfect Spin Attacks and Furious Throws

2. Death Star II

• Close quarters enhance Maul’s mobility and AoE damage

3. Tatooine

• Mix of open and closed spaces; chokehold is excellent here for tossing enemies into walls

Tips & Tricks:

1. Stay Fast & Aggressive

• Don’t play Maul like a tank. Use his superior mobility to engage quickly, deal damage, and retreat before taking too much fire.

2. Chokehold Midair Activation

• Chokehold can be activated just before landing from a jump to disorient enemies
• Not as forgiving as Kylo’s pull, but a great tactical opener

3. Ability Combos

• Engage: Insight > Spin Attack > Furious Throw > Chokehold (if needed)
• Use Spin Attack to disorient and dash out of danger

4. Against Groups

• Use Spin Attack and Furious Throw together to quickly down clustered infantry
• Chokehold works best when enemies are near ledges or in small rooms

Final Thoughts:

Darth Maul is a high-risk, high-reward hero. He’s best in the hands of fast, aggressive players who know how to disengage before taking too much damage. With the right abilities, maps, and playstyle, Maul becomes a terrifying force of nature on the battlefield.
