Mercy is able to pretty easily fly over most of his spam, making him rather irrelevant to her.Īlong a similar vein as Junkrat, Reaper isn't able to keep up with Mercy's sheer mobility and struggles to find value with his Hellfire Shotguns with the pace at which Mercy can move. This tether can break if the player loses line of sight with their target, however, the tether will remain for a little while before disappearing meaning players can duck in and out of cover to maintain the beam while keeping themselves safe.Īs Mercy tends to be a pretty airborne hero, Junkrat struggles to keep up against her vertical mobility.

A point-and-hold weapon that creates a beam/ tether to the ally she is currently healing. A Mercy that can damage boost well will separate them from the average Mercy.Ĭaduceus Staff is rather simple to use. Players should look to try and utilize Mercy's damage beam on teammates when there isn't a dire need for healing or if the other support on the team is healing sufficiently. While Mercy is more well-known for her healing beam. This can be useful as it throws off certain heroes as well as the player's aim, as Mercy can now move in more potential directions instead of just left or right. Guardian Angel with Crouch can be used alongside Angelic Descent to allow Mercy to essentially fly above the battlefield. Using Crouch or Jump to launch in either direction allows players to mix up their movement, which can potentially save them or make them harder to tracer While a rather basic ability, most Overwatch 2 players are accustomed to this and will be able to track Mercy or chase her throughout her flight. Guardian Angel causes Mercy to fly towards her target. During this time, Mercy's passive regeneration is greatly enhanced and allows her to go for Resurrections that she would normally die for. Her Guardian Angel is much faster, and her Caduceus Blaster has infinite ammo. Her Caduceus Staff now spreads her healing/ damage beam to other allies. Valkyrie makes all of Mercy's abilities go absolutely haywire. This allows her to gracefully descend from great heights if she needs to and allows her to stay in the air for longer, making her harder to hit. Being able to bring back a teammate from the dead can prove to be invaluable in the middle of a fight, and can really help her team set the tempo of a team fight.Īngelic Descent causes Mercy to fall slowly while she is holding down her space key. Mercy's Revive is what sets her apart from the rest of the healers in Overwatch 2. The main skill expression that comes with this ability is the option to either launch upwards or forward, which can really let the player mix up their movement It gives her the mobility that allows her to survive in fights while also allowing her to quickly dash to allies to heal them up when they're in danger. Mercy's Guardian Angel is her most skill-expressive ability. While in flight, Jump launches you forward, and Crouch launches you upwards.

It doesn't deal heaps of damage or fire quickly, so it should only be used if Mercy is unable to fly to another ally or have someone else defend her. This is Mercy's main way of defending herself. The Caduceus Staff also allows Mercy to damage boost her allies by 30%, which can help certain DPS heroes like Ashe break important damage thresholds. Mercy will have this equipped on her most of the time, as her other weapon is only used for dealing damage and defending herself. Mercy's Caduceus Staff is the only way she is able to heal her allies.

However, she has a surprising amount of depth added into her kit in Overwatch 2 that can differentiate between a good and a bad Mercy player. Now in Overwatch 2, equipped with her Caduceus staff and Guardian Angel, Mercy flies throughout the battlefield giving aid to allies in need.Īrguably the easiest support in Overwatch 2, Mercy is often considered the go-to pick for bad players who can't play the game. Mercy is undoubtedly one of the most iconic support heroes in all of the Overwatch franchise.
