Best team compositions for No Surrender
The strongest team composition for No Surrender is Alli (Damage Dealer, 54.3% WR) + Ziggy (Damage Dealer, 54.1% WR) + Clancy (Damage Dealer, 54.1% WR). Alli takes the front of the draft and dictates where the fight happens, while the other two cover the roles damage dealer cannot: mid-range trades and objective pressure in Duels. If one of them is banned, replace it with a brawler of the same class rather than a higher-tier pick of a different role — on No Surrender the layout matters more than raw tier. Each pick links to its full build below so you can copy the exact Star Power, Gadget and gears before you queue.

Counters and picks to avoid on No Surrender
If the enemy team first-picks Alli on No Surrender, the counters that hold up are Darryl, Crow, Cordelius. They break the range or the engage pattern Alli relies on, so the Duels objective stops being free. On the other side, Dynamike and Grom are the brawlers to avoid on this map: the cover and lane spacing here punish them before they reach a useful position.
No Surrender Strategy & Positioning
Positioning is everything on No Surrender. Early game, take map control of the central area and key chokes without overextending into enemy cover. Fight when you have a cover or numbers advantage, and retreat to reset when your Super or a teammate is down. Use the map's walls and bushes to bait enemy abilities, then punish the cooldown. In Duels, track the objective timer and rotate proactively rather than reacting. Avoid greedy pushes that leave your lane open — on No Surrender, disciplined spacing wins more games than raw aggression.
