Overwatch: Tips For Using Every Character


ZENYATTA

Role: Healer
Summary: Zenyatta is an omnic monk who wanders the world in search of spiritual enlightenment. In battle, he calls upon his orbs of harmony to heal his teammates and orbs of discord to weaken enemies. He is also capable of delivering offense with his orbs of destruction.

Zenyatta Tips

Healing

  • Keep an eye on your allies and give a Harmony Orb to whoever needs it every few seconds
  • If your team has another healer – let’s say Mercy – then focus on healing allies that are at a longer distance because you can heal them faster than Mercy can get to them
  • You don’t always need to give your Harmony Orb to the person with the lowest health. Give it to who is at greater risk given their situation.
  • Zen’s Transcendence Ult doesn’t just make himself invisible, it also heals allies around him. Only use it at crucial moments when the enemy is about to make a push, or when an enemy Ult is coming that may wipe your team.

Offense

  • Yes, Zenyatta is a healer. But when playing Zen you should almost always be shooting at the enemy
  • When possible, always shoot from behind an ally Reinhardt’s Barrier Field
  • In a two Reinhardt vs Reinhardt face off, don’t hesitate to unload your orbs at the enemy Reinhardt’s Barrier to make it go down faster
  • Communicate with your team so they know which enemy you have placed the Discord Orb on. This will help them take down enemies faster
