Mercy guide

Mercy is a support.

Recommended comps: Poke or spam

One habit to change: Heal anyone taking damage and keep them topped up; a full-health ally plays far more aggressively.

Good into

  • RamattraValkyrie counters his ult: your healing beats it, and the doubled beam lets you heal from outside it.
  • MeiIf she walls off your target, glide to them and super jump over the wall.

Struggles against

  • D.VaEndless poke keeps your regen from starting, and she boosts onto allies to burst them.
  • GenjiDash, Blade, dash: he can catch you in the air.
  • TracerBlinks onto you; still hits you mid super jump.
