Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Monolith Productions have released the second installment of their video series designed to get you into fighting shape for Guardians of Middle-earth. Dubbed “MOBA Mastery,” the series takes a look at the multiplayer online battle arena genre, from a basic overview on match structure and map layout, to the progressively more complex elements of play.

Last week’s video introduced us to the basics of MOBA strategy, how a match unfolds and the conditions for victory. This week we take a look at the battlefield itself, the shrines, creatures and pickups scattered throughout, and how to utilize the terrain to gain the advantage. Check out the video below and be sure to stay tuned for the remainder of the series.
