Why is turf control important?

Turf control is important because it gives players more control over the battlefield and helps prevent rival gangs from spreading too quickly. Each stage has a different number of turfs, and claiming them is part of surviving long enough to reach the boss fight. Turf control helps players: Limit enemy expansion Build stage momentum Create safer movement zones Prepare for boss encounters Keep rival gangs under pressure Ignoring turfs can allow enemies to take over the battlefield before the player is ready.
