Lifeweaver guide

Lifeweaver is a support.

One habit to change: Play as a utility support, not a healbot; your heals are slow, so your value is saves, space and petals.

Good into

SigmaFarm his barrier with thorns. Petal under the team in Flux so you land on it instead of the floor.
VentureLift a burrowed Venture on a petal and break it: the burrow resets or ends.
SymmetraDrop Tree on her teleporter to break it, or lift it away with a petal.

Struggles against

ZenyattaBreaks your petals and out-pokes you.
BrigitteWhips and bashes you off your petal.
IllariOut-pokes you, and Captive Sun sets you up for a kill.

Best maps

Best by win rate: Runasapi, Esperança, Samoa and Suravasa
High ground you can reach and hold with petals

Playing against Lifeweaver

His big body and slow heals are the weak spot; his saves are the strength. Bait Life Grip, then kill the target or him.
