As the timer gets low, compare three nearby tasks: complete a delivery, protect prisoners already in your jail, or help jailed allies out. Take the one your team can finish. A long chase to the far side can leave all three undone.
A favorable percentage does not end the round. Keep playing until the game shows the round ending. The jail still needs defending, and an escape can change who is free.
Match the situation
| What you see | Useful choice |
|---|---|
| An allied carrier is close to your jail | Cover the last approach and confirm the deposit |
| Prisoners are damaging your bars | Keep repair and outside defense on that cage |
| Allies are jailed and support is already at the cage | Help the opening and cover the exit |
| The next opponent is far from your support | Leave that chase |
| A second wall starts breaking | Move defense before you start a new capture |
Name the task and the person who can cover it so the whole team does not abandon the same job.
Hold what you already earned
Each prisoner in your cage was fought for and carried home. When that cage is under pressure, defending it can matter more than starting a distant fight with no route home. Keep a repairer on the threatened section and an ally on rescuers and the rest of the cage. If everyone stacks on one wall, call the second threat.
The base can show a Jail Lockdown pad and a countdown. Read the control that is on your pad. Keep watching the bars afterward. Lockdown is not a published guarantee that every bar is invulnerable, and it is not a victory screen. No fixed duration was published for that countdown.
Deliveries and rescues that still fit
If a teammate is nearly home with an opponent, cover the approach and leave someone on the jail. After the deposit, the carrier can join defense instead of sprinting back to mid. If the route is crowded and you have no support, reconsider before the whole team commits. An unfinished delivery plus an empty jail is two problems.
When many allies are imprisoned, a rescue only helps if you agree the bar and the exit first. Do not spend the remaining time fighting a defender far from the cage while the prisoners have no help. Once teammates are out, regroup on the next reachable task. Repair and rescue guides cover those two jobs in detail.
