'Overwatch' Hero Mastery: How To Play Each Character Effectively Part 4

'Overwatch' Hero Mastery: How To Play Each Character Effectively Part 4

With the fourth and last part of our "Overwatch" hero guide, we cover the last bits of all you need to know about mastering each character's quirks and abilities.

Tracer

• You have extremely low health, but are extremely nimble. Use Blink to avoid lines of fire and reach your objective, and Recall whenever you need to get out or heal damage.

• Don't bother shooting from even medium range. Unload your magazine at close range and you can kill almost any non-tank hero.

• Your Ultimate charges very quickly, so use it often, and on high-value targets that you can't easily kill with your weapons.

Widowmaker

• Your charged damage is very high. Try to sync your shots with 100% charge to maximize your DPS.

• Don't stay in one position for too long. Enemies will either avoid your line of fire or use heroes like Pharah or Tracer to take you out.

• Up close, your unscoped attack is very effective, and can easily defend against flankers. You can even use Widowmaker offensively at medium range with it.

Winston

• Use your size and disruptiveness to make yourself a more attractive target than your teammates. Jump in and out of battle, and attack healers and nimble heroes.

• Your weapon's DPS is low, but it can attack multiple enemies at close range with the same damage. This is especially effective when Zarya's Ultimate is active, for example.

• Your Ultimate does not actually let you deal plenty of damage, but you can use it to kick enemies off a payload or a point. If you're near a pit or cliff, you can get plenty of environmental kills this way.

Zarya

• Prefer your alternate fire over your primary. It has better range and great AoE damage. Lob it over obstacles like Junkrat does for great effect.

• Use your shields to protect yourself and allies from Ultimates. They may survive, and you get devastating charge levels for your weapon.

• Try using your Ultimate to drag enemies into pitfalls. You can kill entire teams with this technique.

Zenyatta

• With the new patch, your Ultimate practically grants invincibility to your teammates. Use it for decisive pushes or to protect a point.

• Manage your orbs constantly. Send out Discord on high-value targets and keep Harmony orbs on tanks or attacking teammates.

• You do excellent DPS with great range, so always unleash your attacks from afar.
