Bastion
Role: Defense

Bastion Tips
- Switch up your Sentry Mode location every now and then because enemies will be forming strategies to take you out as soon as they’re aware of you
- A Sentry Mode Bastion teamed up with a Reinhardt and a Mercy can hold off a team for a long time
- Bastion has a generous clip size, so don’t hinder your offense by constantly reloading when it’s necessary. Practice with Bastion to better understand when reloading is needed
- The trade-off for Bastion’s powerful Sentry Mode is that it takes him some time to get out of it. Pay close attention to the situation and get a sense of when you may need to move ahead of time
- Time your Configuration Tank Ult with a push from your allies, or use it at a critical point when your team’s defense is about to falter
