Starting off with Dr. Angela Ziegler, aka Mercy, she is one of the legacy heroes in Overwatch, and now she has arrived in Overwatch 2 to support her team. Mercy has undergone many changes since the beginning of the game, but that never stopped her from being among the best healers.

She provides a continuous heal beam to her teammates, which can be converted into a damage buff beam to increase the impact of your teammates on the enemies.

Mercy's Abilities
Mercy’s Abilities

Mercy has a unique set of passive and active abilities that benefits the team in various ways.

Active Abilities

  1. Guardian Angle – It allows mercy to move around more effectively, and if a friend is in need of healing far off, she can directly jump to them and starts healing.
  2. Resurrect – You might think that you’re dead in a match, but Mercy doesn’t, and her resurrection capability allows her to revive a downed teammate and get them back in the fight with full health.
  3. Angelic Decent – This ability allows her to stay in the air for a longer period of time making her a less noticeable target and allows her to move towards different teammates swiftly.

Passive

Mercy’s passive allows her to heal over a period of time, and this ability comes in really handy when there is no other healer on the team.

Ultimate

Valkyrie – her ultimate allows her to fly around the map and gain remarkable height; not only that, instead of healing or boosting one teammate at a time, she can heal or boost all the nearby allies altogether. The healing and damage boost values also get increased while the ultimate is active.

If you are a competitive player, then there is no chance that you don’t know about Ana, a retired war veteran and now an Overwatch hero; Ana is extremely specialized in long-range healings, and if you are good with the aim, then she should be on your top priority when it comes to best healers.

Ana's Abilities
Ana’s Abilities

Just like Ana, her abilities are quite specialized in what they have to offer.

Active Abilities

  1. Sleep Dart – One thing Moms are good with is putting their kids to bed, and Ana is really good at that; her sleep dart can put enemies to sleep and make them vulnerable to getting attacked by her teammates.
  2. Biotic Grenade – A blessing for the team and a curse for the enemies, Biotic Grenade allows the nearby allies to heal and if an enemy gets hit by it then their healing capabilities get disrupted for a certain period of time while they receive a bit of damage from it as well.

Passive

Ana also has a regeneration passive that helps her heal to full in a certain amount of time.

Ultimate

Nano Boost – An all-time favorite for the Genji mains, Nano boost allows to enhance the capabilities of the teammates, this ultimate combined with other heroes’ ultimates like Genji, Soldier, or Winston can deal massive damage to the enemies that might lead to a squad wipe.

Moira O’Deorain’s desire to improve evolution put her into many controversies, but that still didn’t stop her from achieving her goals, even if that required some sacrifice.

Moira has been My personal favorite even after quite some rework; she allows massive chunks of healing while draining the health of the enemies, making her a truly ruthless support hero to have.

Moira Abilities
Moira Abilities

Moira’s skill tree keeps many confused due to her capability of outputting a good amount of damage to her foes.

Active Abilities

  1. Biotic Orb – This orb roams around the map for a certain period of time and heals the nearby allies. It can also be converted into a damaging orb that absorbs enemies’ health once it comes in their contact.
  2. Fade – Moira is selfish; that’s what makes her unique, her fade ability helps her escape sticky situations and restore her health while her teammates keep on fighting. While in the fade mode she takes no damage, and it’s a great way to flank the inattentive enemies as well.

Passive

Her self-healing works a bit slow compared to others; normally best way is to heal her through a Medkit or her healing orb.

Ultimate

Coalescence – Moira releases a very high-energy beam that heals the teammates under a certain range while damaging the enemies at the same time as well. An excellent ultimate when you want your Tanks and DPS to push harder on the point.

Passive

Kiriko’s passive allows her to jump around the walls like Genji or Hanzo, and he gets healed over time as well while out of combat.

Lucio offers its mains a unique experience that is fast yet fun to play with, and it really benefits the team that stays together till the end.
