Overwatch 2: BEST Team Comps [Explained]

Overwatch 2 provides players with newer characters to learn and play. However, you will need a good comp to win efficiently, as a single character won’t carry entire teams every time. Teams have specific roles for certain people to fill. For an aggressive comp, DPS Characters are the main focus. Check out our Best Healers guide if you go for Utility heavy team comp. However, these two are not the Overwatch 2 Best Comps. For that, I’ve created a blend of all roles and picked out those that enable you to showcase the most skills. A lot goes into building an Overwatch 2 Best Comps, so let’s look closer.

For Overwatch 2 performance, you must first build a strong team. Like its predecessor, this game is not intended to be played alone. With the rare Deathmatch exception, Overwatch 2 relies heavily on teamwork to succeed. And you’ll need to consider your team composition if you genuinely want to play at your best.

Team positions are divided into various classes. Each squad is allowed one tank hero, two damage heroes, and two support heroes. While taking damage, tanks divert the enemy’s attention away from their comrades. Damage heroes focus on taking down the enemy and establishing their defense. Support characters distribute shields, increase movement and damage, and perform other functions to heal their comrades and enhance their skills.

In Overwatch 2, being comfortable in various team positions is essential when deciding your team composition. Players should be comfortable in various other roles and characters instead of choosing damage, tank, or support roles and sticking with them. This will allow the team to be flexible and alter roles as needed. In this Best Comps guide, I’ll demonstrate how to build a team composition in Overwatch 2. Here are the two team compositions:

• Aggressive Composition (works well in Competitive)
• The Defensive Composition

Competitive Aggressive Composition

The Overwatch League, a competition that sparks much debate, is ruled by Junker Queen. To benefit from the aggression of the Junkers Queen, the teams lowered Reinhardt’s shield. Ana withdraws to make room for Brigitte and Lucio, a pair of cunning characters. Professional players have then identified the two heroes who can mesh flawlessly with the rest of the team regarding DPS. So, here is how it appears:

• Junkers Queen
• Genji
• Lucio
• Brigitte
• Sojourn

Junker Queen

Real Name	Odessa "Dez" Stone
Status	Active
Age	Approx. 35-40
Nationality	Australian
Occupation	Gladiator champion (formerly) Ruler of Junkertown
Base	Junkertown, Australia
Affiliation	Wastelanders (temporarily) Junkers
Relations	Stone (father), unnamed mother 5 siblings
Voice	Leah De Niese Siho Ellsmore (Junkertown announcer, 2017-2022) Davida McKenzie (trailer) (English)
Health	300 (Open queue) 450 (Role queue)
Role	Tank

The first brand-new tank to enter Overwatch 2’s roster is called Junker Queen. She is a very violent brawler in the game who uses a shotgun and a big axe to battle up close. Additionally, Junker Queen has a magnetic serrated knife dubbed Gracie that she may summon to pull any foe she strikes with it. Junker Queen can speed up teammates and provide defensive Utility to protect allies during aggressive pushes along with Lucio. She may also use the anti-heal debuff to stop enemy teams from healing while she performs her ultimate, which can be deadly if she hits multiple targets with it.

It’s best to choose Overwatch 2 heroes who can take advantage of her anger when she’s the tank. Lucio and Brigitte make great allies because they can quickly transport her to the adversary while still keeping her alive. Tracer, Genji, and Sojourn can deal lethal burst damage while remaining agile and able to take out significant targets.

Tips and Tricks

Junker Queen is an offensive tank with skills for controlling and closing the gap with enemies, even though her weapons are close-range. Her passive healing through Adrenaline Rush lets her stay aggressive without constant support attention, but she should retreat in open spaces with distant foes.

The Jagged Blade and Carnage skills of Junker Queen, in particular, pair perfectly. Your commanding shout is the best backup for situations where you need to change the direction of a push and get aggressive. Rampage will require precise timing and positioning, but if you can get it to collide with a group of foes, it will rip right through them and make any subsequent kills simple because it removes their ability to be healed.

A good Junker Queen plays to her advantage and puts the other side under pressure by requiring close combat. The Junker Queen is at her best in a death ball or brawl composition.

Genji

Real Name	Genji Shimada (島田 源氏)
Aliases	Sparrow
Age	35
Nationality	Japanese
Occupation	Adventurer
Base	Hanamura, Japan (formerly) Shambali Monastery, Nepal
Affiliation	Shimada Clan (formerly) Overwatch Blackwatch (formerly)
Relations	Sojiro Shimada (father) Hanzo Shimada (older brother)
Voice	Gaku Space (English) Expand
Health	200
Role	Damage

In the recently released Overwatch 2, Genji is back as a selectable hero from the original Overwatch. His tragic past illuminates how he came to stand in for Overwatch and how he transformed into a cyborg after his brother Hanzo almost killed him.

Genji is a Damage Hero, a type of character designed to deal a lot of damage to foes. While other heroes in Overwatch 2 are receiving overhauls, Genji is a returning hero who saw a few notable changes. The cyborg ninja can dash-kill enemies with low HP while using backline harassment to build up his Dragonblade. Because the enemy has few options for defending against it, Genji’s ultimate can be devastating when combined with Junker Queen’s or Lucio’s.

Tips and Tricks

Genji is a damage hero, which means he is designed to attack, but his attack power isn’t strong enough for him to defeat another hero on his own. Because of the numerous character changes in Overwatch 2 and the switch to 5v5 gameplay, a team must coordinate their efforts to achieve kills.

When used strategically, Genji’s powerful ultimate, Dragonblade, can quickly deal a great deal of damage to a large number of opponents. You can quickly get a team kill if you use it in a skirmish where your teammates can support you with extra attacking force.

Swift Slash is an effective offensive move but may also be used as a retreating technique to gain ground and close the gap between enemies. Deflect may be used to block all projectile attacks, including ultimates, so exercising caution when employing it is essential.

Lucio

Real Name	Lúcio Correia dos Santos
Age	26
Nationality	Brazilian
Occupation	DJ Freedom fighter
Base	Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Affiliation	Overwatch
Voice	Jonny Cruz (English)
Health	200
Role	Support

Internationally famous performer Lucio works to advance social change through his music and actions. He attacks enemies, heals allies, and speeds up his teammates on the battlefield by using his sophisticated sonic amplifier and distinctive melodies.

In addition to having a lot of self-sustain, Lucio is the only player on the roster with the ability to ride walls, which he uses to survive. Sound Barrier is one of the best ultimates in the game and can stop an opponent’s ultimate or set up perfect pushes to score a point or win a team fight.

Tips and Tricks

Lucio is a support hero whose playstyle revolves around swift movement, eliminating weak characters, and healing his team when the opportunity presents itself, as seen in the image above. Accordingly, here are some Overwatch 2 Lucio tips and tactics.

Beginners should start by mastering Lucio’s movement, a crucial skill for Lucio’s mains. Proficiency in Wall Ride and map knowledge is essential. Lucio’s speed can deceive opponents and aid in escaping tough situations. Utilize Amp It Up at the game’s outset while playing movement-boosting songs for a speed advantage. Play the supportive hero, but don’t be afraid to use force. You can make use of Lucio’s mobility by moving around a lot and, if necessary, firing at the enemy. If you remained on the ground, tank players would easily attack you. Staying in the air will leave you vulnerable to enemy fire. A balance between these two is what players need to achieve.

If employed at the correct time, Lucio’s unique ability, Sound Barrier, can turn the match around if you are about to lose. The Sound Barrier ability can provide your squad the extra health it needs to survive the battle and emerge on top if time is running short and you need to seize the point but are being outmatched by the opposing team.

Sojourn

Real Name	Vivian Chase
Status	Active
Age	Early-mid 50s
Nationality	Canadian
Occupation	Infantrywoman (formerly) Special Forces operative (formerly) Overwatch captain (formerly) Acting commander (formerly)
Base	Toronto,Canada
Affiliation	Primary Reserve (formerly) Canadian Army (formerly) Canadian Special Operations Regiment (formerly) Overwatch (formerly)
Relations	Unnamed grandmother, grandfather Unnamed father, mother Valentine Chase-Chapman (twin sister) Bonnie Chase-Chapman (niece)
Voice	Cherise Boothe (English)
Health	200
Role	Damage

Sojourn is a hitscan DPS character who gains one-shot kill power by inflicting damage on adversaries. You will instantly be in the respawn room if Sojourn notices you blinking while you are not paying attention to her.

The railgun Sojourn, a Canadian hero, has two firing modes. You can choose between using the rapid-fire rounds of a standard rifle or a beam that charges up whenever your primary fire causes damage. If they have 200 health when fully charged, this railgun shot can instantly kill other Damage class heroes. Like other Damage class heroes, she is heavily skill-dependent, so to fully utilize her arsenal of abilities, you’ll need to be able to hit targets and be in the right place.

You can enter and exit battles, move to advantageous positions on the battlefield, or simply increase essential mobility by using Sojourn’s Power Slide. It also helps keep Sojourn mobile and makes him a slippery target. Using this skill frequently while still being able to hit your targets is essential for succeeding in Sojourn.

Tips and Tricks

If you decide to fight as Sojourn, you will be in the thick of it and rely heavily on your ability to hit targets with your primary weapon. The disruptor shot is the only other viable offensive option you have, but it has a long cooldown and is unlikely to eliminate any opponents on its own. Focus on setting up the primary fire, sliding to stay mobile and avoid harm, and building up your railgun charge instead.

At medium range, Sojourn is most lethal. Here, landing your first attacks most effectively lets you finish off worn-down opponents with sharp railgun fire. Knowing that Sojourn’s assaults are not hit-scan, meaning they travel and can be avoided, makes engaging from a greater distance less pointless. She cannot heal herself, so she continues to move and participate in the activities. To maintain your health, work with your support heroes.

Brigitte

Real Name	Brigitte Lindholm
Age	23
Nationality	Swedish
Occupation	Mechanical engineer Adventurer Squire
Base	Gothenburg, Sweden (formerly)
Affiliation	Overwatch
Relations	Torbjörn Lindholm (father) Ingrid Lindholm (mother) Reinhardt Wilhelm (godfather) Unnamed siblings, nieces, and nephews
Voice	Matilda Smedius (English)
Health	150
Role	Support
Armor	50

Brigitte is a versatile hybrid tank/support option. She offers sustained AoE healing with Inspire and can make her team more resilient. Although her kit seems simple, mastering her is a challenge. With Inspire, Brigitte provides area healing for her team, while her rally and passive healing impact team battles. She’s the game’s tackiest healer. Her 200 health, 50 armor, and shield make her a durable support.

Given the lack of shields in the game, Brigitte’s shield is a welcome sight for her side. She can be used to peel for her fellow support and her DPS allies or go forward with the tank. Her Whip Shot talent also excels at deterring foes while giving her squad passive healing. Using her shield to shield her team, Brigitte can prevent the opposition from quickly charging their ultimate attack.

Tips and tricks

Brigitte excels when teamed with Reinhardt, as their melee weapons complement each other and form an effective duo. Zarya can protect Brigitte with her barrier and charge her cannon, making them a strong pair. Pairing Brigitte with healers like Ana, Mercy, or Moira is ideal, as her healing works better with their support.

Three main DPS heroes can defeat Brigitte because they can quickly burst her shield, leaving her defenseless. These heroes are Bastion, Junkrat, and Pharah. Brigitte can’t use her rocket flail to attack Pharah because she specializes in aerial fighting, which makes her particularly deadly. By hiding behind Brigitte’s shield and utilizing her Endothermic Blaster to sluggish Brig and her team, Mei can also render Brigitte immobile. Sombra is also a danger because she can hack Brigitte’s Barrier Shield, which could be easily destroyed.

Brigitte’s shield and self-defense make her an excellent fit for many DPS heroes. To protect the backline, she can team up with bunker turret heroes like Bastion and Torbjorn. For flankers like Tracer, Genji, and Reaper on her team, Brigitte’s Repair Packs offer valuable long-distance support during their assault.

Overall Composition Views

Sojourn and Genji are now strong shock teams in the competition. In contrast to Genji, who can trouble the opposing defenses, Sojourn can apply pressure to the front line. The Junkerqueen’s unmatched aggression pushes adversaries to their breaking point. Lucio, the Squires’ Queen, came next to ensure she always had a healer available without limiting the healer’s role in his performance. Brigitte and Lucio, two frontline healers, can restore friends’ health and deal respectable damage to the enemy team. Due to their high levels of survivability, both heals are fascinating.

This team needs the independence of the care given by the group and the pressure put on the rival group. The entire squad will be on the front line to accompany the tank toward the enemy group, except for Genji, who occasionally stands behind the adversaries.

Defensive Compositions

This Composition is suited to players who like to play defensive and make calculated plays. We envision a group capable of repelling opponents and has a powerful offensive line. This team will ensure that the enemy team cannot get close to your territory without taking significant damage. The Overwatch 2 Best Team Comps for a defensive playstyle include the following heroes.

• Orisa
• Anna
• Moira
• Soldier 76
• Sombra

Orisa

Status	Active
Age	1 Month
Nationality	Numbanian
Occupation	Guardian Robot
Base	Numbani
Affiliation	Numbani
Relations	Efi Oladele (creator)
Voice	Cherrelle Skeete(English)
Health	125 (Open queue) 275 (Role queue)
Role	Tank
Armor	275

Another character that is essential to Overwatch 2 Best Team comps is Orisa. Many of the original Overwatch heroes changed in Overwatch 2, but few went through as much change as Orisa. She was formerly a sluggish tank hero emphasizing area denial and rooted toughness. However, she is now one of the game’s more brawly tanks and can suppress enemies at potentially lethal close quarters.

In Overwatch 2, Orisa’s playstyle underwent a significant adjustment, and players are still adjusting to her new emphasis and abilities. She has meager HP for a tank hero, but her two defensive abilities, Javelin Spin and Fortify, let her survive attacks. She can advance quickly while being protected by these abilities, which makes her the perfect tank for attacking goals.

Tips and Tricks

Orisa is now one of the more unique tanks in the game due to acquiring her new features in Overwatch 2. She relies on being the most prominent and closest target to deflect physical blows or draw enemy fire without any form of defense. She might burn out if she doesn’t put in much effort with her team, especially the support heroes because she doesn’t have an escape route. The following heroes in Overwatch 2 are very effective against Orisa:

1. Reaper

As Orisa, Reaper’s mobility and direct damage are challenging to block.

2. Tracer

Like Reaper, Tracer will be challenging to hit with the Fusion Driver and lethal up close.

3. Junkrat

Junkrats prefer heroes with big hitboxes, particularly if they don’t have any barriers.

4. Zarya

If Zarya has accumulated enough charge, her particle cannon will pierce the Javelin Spin and can quickly burn Orisa to the ground.

5. Doomfist

The upgraded Doomfist has the strength to take on Orisa and the mobility to choose the right moment to attack her.

6. Reinhardt

Despite Orisa’s improvement as a close-range tank, Reinhardt still rules regarding close-range damage.

The new Orisa’s play in Overwatch 2 revolves mainly around positioning, which is crucial for both keeping oneself and the team safe. She will be left defenseless and vulnerable if she advances too far or is cornered alone, and staying back will significantly lessen the potency of her Fusion Driver and Energy Javelin.

Ana

Real Name	Ana Amari (أنا عماري)
Aliases	Horus, Janina Kowalski, Shrike, Bastet
Status	Active
Age	60
Nationality	Egyptian
Occupation	Sharpshooter (formerly) Overwatch second-in-command, captain[2] (formerly) Bounty hunter
Base	Cairo, Egypt
Affiliation	Egyptian security forces (formerly) Overwatch (formerly)
Relations	Sam (husband/partner) Fareeha Amari (daughter)
Voice	Aysha Selim (English)
Health	200
Role	Support

Ana stands out among the different supports in Overwatch 2 since she can keep her teammates alive and counter enemy attacks and damage. She is a more active healer since she uses a sniper rifle to shoot comrades to keep them alive or kill bothersome opponents. She’s not the most accessible support to play with, but her equipment could be very effective. You can learn how to play Ana in Overwatch 2 by consulting this in-depth guide.

In Overwatch 2, Ana hasn’t undergone any significant changes compared to other characters. She has gained the support passive Role ability and had her ammunition raised by three rounds, but other than those changes, she hasn’t changed from the previous game’s version. Minor changes to her abilities have made Ana slightly less potent and required players to use them more deliberately.

Tips and Tricks

As Ana, players need to know when to use each talent and where to position themselves. I’ve noticed the best positioning style is staying in the back of your squad as you heal your friends and damage the enemy because Ana is quite flimsy. As a sniper, Ana has a high skill ceiling because her healing potential depends on her ability to hit targets. Because she eventually needs to use the scope to reach distant enemies or friends in a fight, Ana is a very vulnerable character for enemies looking to eliminate the team’s backline. As a result, it is essential to seek shelter inside a structure or on higher ground. If you do this, you can assist your squad without any looming danger.

Understanding when to use Ana’s abilities and which teammate You should use your ultimate to boost is another crucial component of playing Ana. To begin with, the Sleep Dart has a lot of power. Keep an eye out for opportunities for her to cancel some ultimates with her Sleep dart, such as for Soldier: 76, Cassidy, Genji, Roadhog, and Pharah Ultimates.

Although using Ana’s ultimate is not difficult, you should always consider who would be the best candidate to gain from it. It’s always a good idea to boost damage dealers like Genji and Soldier 76 and tanks like Reinhardt, Roadhog, or Zarya.

Moira

Real Name	Moira O’ Deorain
Status	Active
Age	48
Nationality	Irish
Occupation	Geneticist Minister of Genetics Talon council member
Base	Dublin, Ireland Oasis, Iraq
Affiliation	Blackwatch (formerly) Talon The Ministries
Voice	Genevieve O'Reilly (English)
Health	200
Role	Support

Moving on, we have Moira in our Overwatch 2 Best Team Comps. Many of my favorite heroes faced changes in Overwatch 2. While some of them have new abilities, others have undergone minor nerfs. However, both affected some heroes, such as Moira.

We frequently had the opportunity to see Moira at significant events. She was one of the well-known Overwatch supporters. She is a hero who specializes in AoE healing, making her the perfect choice for combos that prefer to stick together. Regarding damage output, Moira is one of the best support players in the game.

Her Biotic Grasp and Biotic Orbs, which can either heal or damage friends depending on the situation, are the basis of her arsenal. Players are encouraged to heal Moira sparingly in brief bursts to maximize her healing over time because she does tend to run out of healing juice reasonably soon. Fortunately, both mending Moira and replenishing healing/biotic energy occur simultaneously when Biotic Grasp damages foes.

Tips and Tricks

Moira’s Necrotic Orb is still potent despite her recent nerfs. While it doesn’t deal high damage, it can apply powerful 75% damage reduction countering abilities like Sojourn’s Ultimate and Dragon Blade. Her other abilities have been adjusted to balance this impact.

In Overwatch 2, Moira’s role is vital for both damage and healing. Her longevity is crucial due to the timing of Necro Orbs. However, with the loss of some hero shields, it’s more challenging. She synergizes well with heroes like Rein and Sigma, whose shields offer team protection, allowing Moira to provide AoE healing.

In addition to the conventional combos, Moira is an excellent choice to use with Junker Queen. The latter is one of Overwatch 2’s most aggressive tanks, so most foes have to concentrate on her. Moira has time to use her healing skills to keep Junker Queen and her allies alive.

Sombra

Real Name	Olivia Colomar
Status	Alive
Age	30
Nationality	Mexican
Occupation	Hacker
Base	Dorado, Mexico
Affiliation	Los Muertos (formerly) Talon (currently)
Voice	Carolina Ravassa (English)
Health	200
Role	Damage

Sombra has a rather distinctive playstyle in Overwatch. She is one of the few heroes who can use permanent stealth, so she excels at creating creative angles of attack for flanking or looking for out-of-position enemies to isolate and kill. She used to act as a disabler, hacking her opponents’ abilities to prevent access to them. However, this has been scaled back to emphasize her kit on bludgeoning adversaries more forcefully.

Tips and Tricks

Sombra has undergone a significant overhaul in the form of modifications to her hacking power. In Overwatch, you might utilize a hack to temporarily disable the enemy’s skills, rendering them defenseless in an ambush. However, the new adjustments have marginally decreased its efficacy for the entire team.

The new Hack makes disrupting enemy abilities and tracking them for finishers very efficient. This enables Sombra to embrace her position as an opportunist fully. The Hack is now a weapon for interrupting adversaries, and when combined with stealth, it can be lethal.

While team support is essential for ambushing enemy territory, translocation offers rapid travel. A great backup plan is to position the beacon near safe health packs, which works well with EMP but should never be used without a safety net.

Soldier 76

Real Name	John Francis "Jack" Morrison
Age	Late 40s / early 50s (approx.)
Nationality	American
Occupation	Soldier (formerly) Overwatch commander (formerly) Vigilante
Base	Bloomington, Indiana, United States (birth place)(formerly) Overwatch HQ (formerly) Unknown
Affiliation	United States Army (formerly) Overwatch (formerly)
Relations	Various family members, including a great-aunt, grandfather, uncle, father, and mother. Vincent (ex-boyfriend)
Voice	Fred Tatasciore (English)
Health	200
Role	Damage

Soldier 76 is a hero who does consistent, precise damage to his enemies with the help of his potent hitscan pulse rifle. His diverse skillset is what makes him so crucial to this team comp and better than other heroes. These skills are why he is feared so much on the battlefield. Moreover, he can quickly delete other players if he gains a good vantage point.

When playing as a high-DPS hero like Soldier: 76, you should modify your gameplay depending on how your team is doing and which other heroes are in your squad. He also has a Damage role’s passive: faster movement and weapon reload after a kill, ideal for aggressive play and quick escapes.

Tips and Tricks

Soldier 76 can keep enemies away from objectives by firing at them from a distance. As a result, you can go back and heal while feeling secure. Additionally, you can deal a lot of damage while standing back, but if your team needs assistance, you can push up.

The alternative is to run and shoot to engage the opposing squad and deal as much damage as possible before perishing or fleeing. This is a wise move if you have a healer who can keep you healed or revive you. With this, you can display more firepower at the expense of some deaths in the short run.

Thus, you are better off staying close to the action with your automatic rifle and rocket launchers, especially if you are playing with other damaged characters, like Hanzo or Widowmaker, who attack from a distance.

My Thoughts

All in all, I’ve tried and tested both comps, and they have proven to be quite fruitful. The blend of the characters mentioned is powerful enough to outplay any team they face. Moreover, both comps are catered to two specific playstyles, so you can choose the one you like the most. However, you should take these Overwatch 2 Best Comps with a grain of salt. Remember that the character mentioned here might not be best suited to you. Thus, ensure you try out different things to find what allows you to excel.
