Mercy Tips
- Under no circumstances should you proceed to the objective ahead of your team. Always stay behind someone if possible.
- Try not to voluntarily use Mercy’s Caduceus Blaster. You should only need to use this if you’re ambushed with no support or if you are alone with an enemy who has low health. If you’re shooting you’re not healing and healing is your priority
- When buffing allies, pay close attention to their health so you’ll know when to switch to healing
- If your team is getting hammered then focus on just healing and hold off on buffing allies until your team has things under control
- If you have Bastion and Reinhardt on your team, ask Reinhardt to guard Bastion and then give Bastion your buffs
- Keep your Tanks alive as much as possible so that they can continue to sponge damage for both you and your attackers
Using Resurrect
- Using Resurrect is based highly on your own judgement; but as a general rule I only use it if I can resurrect two or more allies. The only time I may break this rule is if we’re in Overtime and only one other ally is on the point and they’re suddenly killed
- It’s important to remember that positioning matters when using Resurrect. You’ll only be able to Res allies within range, so if multiple allies are dead you may need to Guardian Angel yourself somewhere between them all before triggering the ability
- The aim should always be to waste the enemy’s Ults so save your Res if you feel an enemy Ult is coming and may devastate your team
