Liked the video! Also a quick tip too : you can use Concussive Blast in combination of your Jump Jet to get off the ground either quicker or higher depending on your angle you blast at! A tip that I found useful on the stress test. Keep up the good work :)
This series is criminally underviewed. You're doing great work here. A little more polish and experience and you could hit XboxAhoy levels of professionalism.
You do so good on these guides! I would add one additional thing you can add as a card to the video, but she is also traditionally a good pick for all maps that are primarily point-capture maps because her knock back can not only push people off the map for kills but can push them off the point for clutch caps!
+notrobmay Blizzard do love their huge clutch moments :D Thanks Rob! I'm looking forward to getting these done and working with you on some future stuff. I may have to jump on the Discord some time and play with you if the ping isn't too bad to the US of A.
+Cynical Nerds you can use the blast to get even higher and find better spots to shoot your rockets from, you can also use it to get behind enemies jumping over their heads and shoot them from behind/use your ult (nice to avoid Reinhardt shield), it is faster than using your jet-pack so your enemies have less time to react. Combining rocket jump, blast jump and jet pack can help you find even more unpredictable spots, the problem is the rocket jump is not really effective and deals significant self damage
So I main Pharah and when she gets her ultimate I usually do it on the ground. It's a lot more effective, for me at least, and the enemy team expects you to do it in the air so doing it on the ground is less predictable. Should I start doing it in the air again or keep doing what I'm doing
Still my most played character. Nothing quite as satisfying as flanking the enemy team when they're 5 m from the checkpoint, popping shift, and raining some justice from above completely obliterating them all in like 2 seconds :D
If you happen to update the guide, you should mention that it is possible to perform "rocket jumps" using a rocket and then the e ability in rapid succession. They add quite a lot mobility and are pretty cool in potg.
I heard a rumor that Pharah's Concussive Blast deal a lot of damage to barriers, like Reinhardt's and Winston's shields. Take a look at that after launch.
Hey, just wanted to say you guys have a nice channel. If you focus a little more on Overwatch I think you could really take off with the game when it soon comes out and people look for content/guides on it. Best of luck.
+Tobias Kempf Hey! Thanks a lot. Once we've got the guides covered we'll be throwing our usual British humour and some regular gameplay footage of Overwatch and we hope it will grow from there.
+Jamal Malik en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitscan weapons like soldier 76 or mccree that work based on relative position of the players compared to projectiles like pharah's rockets or symetra's laser ball, most of the Hitscan characters can defeat a pharah's 1v1 in medium range, and all of the snipers, including hanzo although his weapon fires projectiles instead of being a Hitscan weapon.
+Dagobert Duck so do you need to change it to LT in the settings or does it do that automatically? It's really annoying having to hold the controller like a crab and aim with your index finger since your thumb is on the A button.
One thing I didn't mention is it is a great movement tool. Look behind you and fire it as you jump jet in to the air to get extra vertical momentum but also send you forward very quickly. Really good for repositioning to get big ultimates off.
It would be weaker if you paired Zarya's ultimate with Pharah's because during Zarya's ultimate, any enemies can look around shoot, and some could even escape. With Reinhardt and Mei's ultimate, Pharah's ultimate is way more effective. Mei is probably way better as her ultimate freezes people in pace for about 4 seconds.
+PortalBrawler54 When everyone is grouped up in a Zarya ultimate its shocking how quickly everyone dies. The time to react is very limited, but not impossible of course. Take a look at this POTG from LG Vs C9 th-cam.com/video/vINRj6NHe0E/w-d-xo.htmlm50s the ult was still devastating and the only way they took out the Pharah was with a returning Pharah ult.
you forgot to say that if you shoot a rocket on the ground while crouch jumping, it will do the same thing as it does in TF2, it shoots you Sky high, But only if you shoot right downwards, if you do it in any angle, the sky jump wont work. and if you plus that with the passive ability and the Lshift ability, you will reach the skybox before you know it.
No way.. Bastion and borg easily shut her down. She has to fly into the air to even land decent shots in the open where they easily rip her apart in less than 2 seconds
+W-_-T but her rockets have unlimited range they will always do full damage where as bastion and torbjorns attacks fall off at about 30-40 meters and because they do splash damage she can attack while out of line of sight of bastion/torbjorn turret. Not to mention if you are aiming at torbjorns turret and he is trying to repair it you are basically hitting them both
I hate playing against Phara. She's surprisingly hard to hit while in the air and she kills you faster than you her. Good Phara players are just a nightmare.
currently binging on your guides. im REALLY liking this content. good luck with your channel!

Had experience with TF2 soldier before so when I saw this hero I immediately grasped her.
Grasped her
grasped her phat ass
AYY Psycho, This is Shogun. Add on battlenet, bruh.
Your name sounds familiar, have I met you in game before?
Dude, I'm one of your steam friends.

Sure. Yeah jump in the Velen's Chosen Discord and we can play some matches together too!
I feel you should have mentioned about using concusive blast in air for additionak movement.
+Eruntien killbane of the newer guides I've done this is the one I'm least happy with. I may redo it when I've finished the others.
+Cynical Nerds you can use the blast to get even higher and find better spots to shoot your rockets from, you can also use it to get behind enemies jumping over their heads and shoot them from behind/use your ult (nice to avoid Reinhardt shield), it is faster than using your jet-pack so your enemies have less time to react. Combining rocket jump, blast jump and jet pack can help you find even more unpredictable spots, the problem is the rocket jump is not really effective and deals significant self damage
+Cynical Nerds please redo this one please!
Thank you so much for the quick and simple guide!
So I main Pharah and when she gets her ultimate I usually do it on the ground. It's a lot more effective, for me at least, and the enemy team expects you to do it in the air so doing it on the ground is less predictable. Should I start doing it in the air again or keep doing what I'm doing
As a tf2 soldier main, I am very excited to play as Phara!
Still my most played character. Nothing quite as satisfying as flanking the enemy team when they're 5 m from the checkpoint, popping shift, and raining some justice from above completely obliterating them all in like 2 seconds :D
My favorite ! So fun to use !
If you happen to update the guide, you should mention that it is possible to perform "rocket jumps" using a rocket and then the e ability in rapid succession. They add quite a lot mobility and are pretty cool in potg.
"fly and shoot explody things"
thanks
Rain rains from above!
Justice reigns from- AAARRGGH!!

great guide! maybe you can also add McCree to the hitscan sniper heroes that can bring her down?
+J. Onimoz I have a really nooby question, but what does hitscan actually mean?
+Jamal Malik en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitscan weapons like soldier 76 or mccree that work based on relative position of the players compared to projectiles like pharah's rockets or symetra's laser ball, most of the Hitscan characters can defeat a pharah's 1v1 in medium range, and all of the snipers, including hanzo although his weapon fires projectiles instead of being a Hitscan weapon.
J. Onimoz Thanks!
On Xbox it says use A to hover, but you can actually hover with LT which is much better cause you can keep your thumb on the right stick.
+Dagobert Duck so do you need to change it to LT in the settings or does it do that automatically? It's really annoying having to hold the controller like a crab and aim with your index finger since your thumb is on the A button.
Robbaz Corgi its default both work
Tf2 soldier main. This is one of my favorites. Second only to reaper
XD omg the intro
+ykagz007 the level of cringe hurts me deep inside even after the 20th time I watched it while editing. xD
Pharah is my favorite offense character, most likely because I played quake for 6 years
She reminds me of good old tribes : ascend.
With over 1,500 hours playing soldier in TF2 i can't wait to give her a go.
just thinking about that makes me excited
+Clogged Toliet She doesn't have a rocket jump.
RIP rocket jumping you will be missed
+Robert Smith You want Junkrat if you want a rocket jump style ability! It's a mine, but you still go flying. :)
Mulberry D. More equivalent to a sticky jump.
Hey That's pretty good
@ 4:57 the rocket swifted to a different dimention :p
In which situations should you use knockback bomb?
One thing I didn't mention is it is a great movement tool. Look behind you and fire it as you jump jet in to the air to get extra vertical momentum but also send you forward very quickly. Really good for repositioning to get big ultimates off.
forgot to mention mercy compliments her extremely well

With Reinhardt and Mei's ultimate, Pharah's ultimate is way more effective. Mei is probably way better as her ultimate freezes people in pace for about 4 seconds.

Yea, that is good. But If Mei were to pull off a stealthy Ultimate, it would be quite devastating.
you forgot to say that if you shoot a rocket on the ground while crouch jumping, it will do the same thing as it does in TF2, it shoots you Sky high, But only if you shoot right downwards, if you do it in any angle, the sky jump wont work. and if you plus that with the passive ability and the Lshift ability, you will reach the skybox before you know it.
then a turret pwns you in the middle of your ult
"fly and shoot explody thingies"
Michael bay approves.
Hey pharah how you doin hahahahaha that is funny
but gengi can diflect phara rocket right !!?
+prita aulia Correct
+prita aulia if the rockets hit him directly he can
if the rockets hit the ground near him the splash damage will still get him
+Alex Gregory yep you right
She's pretty.. phar out
She needs more than 200 hp. I think 40 shield health (240 total) would be perfect. It still allow one rovket jump
Why do people keep saying they like soldier in Titanfall 2
Needs more Lummox
No way.. Bastion and borg easily shut her down. She has to fly into the air to even land decent shots in the open where they easily rip her apart in less than 2 seconds
+W-_-T but her rockets have unlimited range they will always do full damage where as bastion and torbjorns attacks fall off at about 30-40 meters and because they do splash damage she can attack while out of line of sight of bastion/torbjorn turret. Not to mention if you are aiming at torbjorns turret and he is trying to repair it you are basically hitting them both
the equivalent of the tf2 soilder.
basically if soldier had a jetpack and one thousand missiles hidden on his arms and legs
I am always offense HANZOOOOOOOOO!
The only thing I hate about her is how fast she can die at times.
So... She's Samus...
I hate playing against Phara. She's surprisingly hard to hit while in the air and she kills you faster than you her.
Good Phara players are just a nightmare.
Really? You like her on offense? I love her on defense.
+Taylor G he said the exact opposite you fuck
why dose she look like a gundam
Oh not q of the game triangle of the game
Citizens Kabuto anyone? Meccs?
I wonder if you can rocket jump with the E ability
tested it, and you can. works well with shift.
I dont think you are a Good pharah, i main her and i thought i was going to learn something new
