Overwatch 2 is a free to play game by Blizzard Entertainment. It is a free to play sequel to the hit 2016 game Overwatch, with an all new battle pass. Season 5 brings us Questwatch, the summer games event with Lifeguard Mercy, while season 6 will bring us Invasion and some PVE missions!

The tip of holding de damage boost while healing works on console too, one of the best tips for mercy ❤️

[CTViewer]

For the Ana anti-heal nade, I apply the same mindset with Junker Queen’s ult. It’s also why I like Kiriko since I can just throw my bell after Ana makes a fat anti-nade or Junker Queen makes her big anti-heal dash.

[galacticblizzard]

I love mercy over any other support, I've watched a lot of guides to refine my skills as mercy. Thanks for making guides, these guides helped me get to platinum on console. ❤

Idk if this is mentioned in another video, but another great mercy tip about jumping during guardian angel is that mercy can do more than just fly in the direction you are looking when you press the jump button. Idk about side to side, but if you hold backward during the jump, you will fly backwards very quickly. This can be great for flying with guardian angel towards an ally in the middle of a dangerous teamfight to get in beam range and then quickly getting out of danger; i've used this many times during 5v5's and it's definitely helped me save multiple teamfights without taking a huge amount of damage immediately.

3:56 I love that couple seconds when you just process you got two picks as Mercy

[LtCaswell]

My Mercy gameplay improved by a mile after the first time watching this. I'll definitely come back to this video whenever I need a reminder. Also the animations are amazing!

[FriendofFantasy]

Remember Mercy is a prey animal and should always be looking out for danger. That's why I love playing her because I can take stock of the battle field better than I could as other heroes.

[aranayailyaris]

btw, regarding the ult charge of damage boost, I did some tests in OW1 and found that *both* heroes get full credit for the extra damage in their ult meters. This means that amplified damage effectively counts for *twice* as much in the ult economy as damage you or an ally do by themselves.

[PirateWalnut]

A good measure of when a teammate is healthy in most scenarios is around 60%-70% health or higher. Using this can allow you to open up to dmg boost as well as learn how to juggle beams more. Obviously this is depends on many variables such as team comps, focus fire etc. but getting comfortable with juggling beams and dmg boost will increase your APM and usefulness.

[dontaeholliman]

As a mercy Main, when I am the last one standing and it’s overtime, I highly recommend instead of just tryna run around like a chicken with your head cut off trying not to die, instead use your teammates souls to bounce back and forth on the point because it gives great maneuvering skills and it will highly benefit your team who is trying to Rush back in

[SakuraUchiha]

Have 1500 hrs on mercy and had a literal road hog screaming at me for using damage boost instead of heal when he's half... literally would use his own heal while I healed him lol... said I should learn the game you can't make it up

[Fary]

I watched this to see what I can do to rank up as mercy and I already do most of these! This video was extremely helpful, Thank you!!

[flowerdoctor]

Thanks! I played tf2 for a long time and mained medic so when my friend wanted to play overwatch with me I was stuck because I had no idea how to use any of the characters. Mercy's mechanics is the only one I'm somewhat familiar with since it's close to how medic works. This helped so much!

[moirushka]

There are soo many good tips in this video, I didn't expect to learn SO MUCH from 1 video.
Also very cute characters :3

[jimbobjeffrey]

Well, I've extracted 3 key points from this:

.Abuse the 1.3 secs when your beam stays attached to an ally when out of range / line of sight

.Don't use super jump unless you need to reposition

.Hold down damage boost and tap healing instead of the other way round

And it worked, and I'm now Gold 2 with Mercy

[foofyaj]

Hey Niandra! Note for the holding down damage boost then tapping healing tip.

I learned about this tip from you maybe a year or two ago? I’m a console player it is AGONIZING to hold the bumper down for so long. I switched my heal and damage boost bindings around so I hold the trigger instead, and it’s really comfortable like that!! So this IS doable for console, we just need to switch bindings to not break our hands.

Great videos, always looking forward to them!!

[darksplash]

Even if it was reserved for 30th so not a lot of people saw it, thank you for explaining the power of the new directional mercy jump cancel. I know it's also a matter of getting used to and preference but I've seen so many people say mercy's ow2 movement is worse than ow1, meanwhile there's so much potential with it and allows you for so much flexibility that is now easier to access, but requires just as much skill to utilise correctly with maybe an even higher value ceiling.

[SkunkfapGaming]

A lot of your examples of what not to do are exactly what im doing atm. so hopefully after following some of these tips ill suck just a little bit less. Im a lucio otp (trying to broaden my horizons a little bit) and its deffo hard getting used to the fact that I cannot just wallride to wherever I need to be in a flash. Mercy's movement is certainly a lot more complex than I gave it credit for in the past.

[hamishroberts]

as a dps main i love watching your videos... know your enemy

[crackedjabber]

I'm certainly going to use that sensitivity excuse from now on. I mean, I can't aim very well either, but now I have a 'reason.'
