Hey small question; Is it worth damage boosting a bap?
I know he does alot of DPS but-
You'd be sacrificing your own ult charge so... your other healer gets their ult quicker.
@@plat4663 this is very situation dependant but like she said. There are no bad dmg boost targets. When bap is shooting at a pharaoh and no one else needs heals go for it
The tip of holding de damage boost while healing works on console too, one of the best tips for mercy ❤️
Yer but you need to play index finger on bumper rude, finger triggers or run paddles for Guardian angel.
Some of us is missing half of those fingers lol
i have paddles and i feel like this will change my life now im gonna try it 😂😂😂
I finally found a comfortable way to play her on console. I don’t think it’s optimal but idc: thumbs for walking and looking around, index finger on the bottom of d-pad for crouching, left ring finger for l1, my leg for l2, index finger on triangle for jumping, middle finger on r1, ring finger on r2. I find using my leg for resurrecting quite innovative if I could say so myself
doing this was game changing for me lol
I completely rebound her on console just to make her constant GA super jumps more comfortable. For anyone interested:
R1: heal
R2: dmg
L1: GA
L2: jump
X: rez
O: melee
L3: weapon swap
R3: crouch
For the Ana anti-heal nade, I apply the same mindset with Junker Queen’s ult. It’s also why I like Kiriko since I can just throw my bell after Ana makes a fat anti-nade or Junker Queen makes her big anti-heal dash.
I have a slightly different approach where I actually do heal with mercy while the anti-heal is still active. My reason is that I am not tracking how long the nade still lasts (there is already so much going on) and sometimes allies just get hit by so much, that when the anti-heal ends it heals them a little bit earlier and might be just enough to save them. I have that situation frequently.
it lasts 3 second the anti, so maybe you could boost for 2 sec and at the last one switch to heal to instantly go back to that, being conscious about may be difficult at first, but youll improve!!
Remember Mercy is a prey animal and should always be looking out for danger. That's why I love playing her because I can take stock of the battle field better than I could as other heroes.
Also be aware as most people Tend to target her due to the team being difficult to kill if she's a good mercy
3:56 I love that couple seconds when you just process you got two picks as Mercy
I love mercy over any other support, I've watched a lot of guides to refine my skills as mercy. Thanks for making guides, these guides helped me get to platinum on console. ❤
Congrats! I can't even get ranked so this helps a lot lol
@@twistedthespy263 same lmao
Idk if this is mentioned in another video, but another great mercy tip about jumping during guardian angel is that mercy can do more than just fly in the direction you are looking when you press the jump button. Idk about side to side, but if you hold backward during the jump, you will fly backwards very quickly. This can be great for flying with guardian angel towards an ally in the middle of a dangerous teamfight to get in beam range and then quickly getting out of danger; i've used this many times during 5v5's and it's definitely helped me save multiple teamfights without taking a huge amount of damage immediately.
That's what I was going to say too
btw, regarding the ult charge of damage boost, I did some tests in OW1 and found that *both* heroes get full credit for the extra damage in their ult meters. This means that amplified damage effectively counts for *twice* as much in the ult economy as damage you or an ally do by themselves.
Yeah that’s what she said
A good measure of when a teammate is healthy in most scenarios is around 60%-70% health or higher. Using this can allow you to open up to dmg boost as well as learn how to juggle beams more. Obviously this is depends on many variables such as team comps, focus fire etc. but getting comfortable with juggling beams and dmg boost will increase your APM and usefulness.
But genji at 95% be like: I need healing
@@BobOrKlaus 95????? More like 99.2%
@@LorikQuinn and spamming while being miles away
My Mercy gameplay improved by a mile after the first time watching this. I'll definitely come back to this video whenever I need a reminder. Also the animations are amazing!
As a mercy Main, when I am the last one standing and it’s overtime, I highly recommend instead of just tryna run around like a chicken with your head cut off trying not to die, instead use your teammates souls to bounce back and forth on the point because it gives great maneuvering skills and it will highly benefit your team who is trying to Rush back in
I watched this to see what I can do to rank up as mercy and I already do most of these! This video was extremely helpful, Thank you!!
Your tip explanation length was perfect, thank you!
There are soo many good tips in this video, I didn't expect to learn SO MUCH from 1 video.
Also very cute characters :3
Tysm for making this video, i've been wanting to learn how to manage playing mercy for a while now and this helped a lot :)
Hope you have a good day!
There are so many wonderful tips in this! Going to watch this again later to let it all stick in my mind. So excited to use these tips in an actual game.😊
Thank you so much for all your tips, Niandra. I have gotten so much better because of you
this really helps me when i play mercy! The tip where you hold down damage boost and then click heal when team needs healing is great, please make more videos like this.
These were really amazing tips, thanks a lot! Makes me want to try her out. O always thought she has a pretty unique play style almost like a mini game of being evasive and not dying differently than kther characters in the game. A lot to consume but will try them out slowly.
These were all SO helpful thank you!
Fantastic video - started doing Mercy in Comp and these tips are so useful, thanks!
thank u so much for the tipps! it helps me ALOT!
It's Always good to remind the musts know, thank you niandra !
Thanks! I played tf2 for a long time and mained medic so when my friend wanted to play overwatch with me I was stuck because I had no idea how to use any of the characters. Mercy's mechanics is the only one I'm somewhat familiar with since it's close to how medic works. This helped so much!
Great video! I often use the Lucio switch but I always worry about mercy being taken too. I usually pick mercy at the beginning and wait until 5 seconds left to switch to Lucio then back.
Very good video! Thanks for the tips. Im just starting out so this helps alot.
Really helpful tips! Especially since OW is getting many new players, thank you.
Well, I've extracted 3 key points from this:
.Abuse the 1.3 secs when your beam stays attached to an ally when out of range / line of sight
.Don't use super jump unless you need to reposition
.Hold down damage boost and tap healing instead of the other way round
And it worked, and I'm now Gold 2 with Mercy
I love your vids so much and the drawn bitts are so funny! :D
Ty for the tips as always
Thanks for all of the tips!
i've actually learnt some tips from this, thank uu
This is so helpful thank you!!!
These were all great tips thank you so much
thanks for the tips!
I've started playing more supports and I'm starting to re pick up mercy so this helps thanks
A lot of your examples of what not to do are exactly what im doing atm. so hopefully after following some of these tips ill suck just a little bit less. Im a lucio otp (trying to broaden my horizons a little bit) and its deffo hard getting used to the fact that I cannot just wallride to wherever I need to be in a flash. Mercy's movement is certainly a lot more complex than I gave it credit for in the past.
just started playing 😭 this is hella helpful
Even if it was reserved for 30th so not a lot of people saw it, thank you for explaining the power of the new directional mercy jump cancel. I know it's also a matter of getting used to and preference but I've seen so many people say mercy's ow2 movement is worse than ow1, meanwhile there's so much potential with it and allows you for so much flexibility that is now easier to access, but requires just as much skill to utilise correctly with maybe an even higher value ceiling.
Finally got my golden mercy gun today super happy about it, been playing mercy since ov1 and I like that her super jump is an ability now it was a lil hard to pull of sometimes on ov1
Ty learned a lot from this
As a diamond ana and mercy main some of these araso usefull ! Nice work
i love Mercy and supports. im a returning player and play on pc now. This was a beautiful video for a old gamer like me :) Thank you :D
Loved the video!!
thanks for the tips been a mercy player since 2017 love your vids keep up the good work
Have 1500 hrs on mercy and had a literal road hog screaming at me for using damage boost instead of heal when he's half... literally would use his own heal while I healed him lol... said I should learn the game you can't make it up
as a dps main i love watching your videos... know your enemy
Thanks this helped
Hey Niandra! Note for the holding down damage boost then tapping healing tip.
I learned about this tip from you maybe a year or two ago? I’m a console player it is AGONIZING to hold the bumper down for so long. I switched my heal and damage boost bindings around so I hold the trigger instead, and it’s really comfortable like that!! So this IS doable for console, we just need to switch bindings to not break our hands.
Great videos, always looking forward to them!!
Also switching your jump to left trigger is so nice too
Always got the best mercy tip videos! Thanks for putting this together
Thanks!
Awesome videio! Tank you!
This is gonna be helpful for my friend.
im in my mercy main era cause my keyboard syncs colours with her beam and i think thats dope
I'm certainly going to use that sensitivity excuse from now on. I mean, I can't aim very well either, but now I have a 'reason.'
As someone who plays Medic in TF2 some tips here are usefull as well
Finally a good guide
love the info!
tysm queen!
never knew u could hold down ga while rezzing! gonna use that for sure! anddd resetting rez cooldown is useful much more often now that you keep any ult charge up to 30% 👀
Great tips for everyone to know and remember! I still make some of these mistakes even in 4400. 😅
I main support with mercy as my least played. Might start playing her now
Best Mercy guide there is hands down! ~ Drops mic
Informative and very cute :). Good video👍
I'm not new but this tips will help me be even better :3
actually great guide, the only nitpick is you should emphasize using damage boost over healing more :)
our moira called me rlly good in the vc and i realised she was the ONLY person ive received a compliment from in both ow 1 and 2 LMAO, dmg boosted coalescence was juicy tho
Also you can play some mercy parkours to improve your movement(this helped me a lot tho) :)
I’m not even a new player but I love your tips
i love using mercy ! I always died tho so thank u for the tips !
thx u
It's hard to figure out how to super jump on demand. Thanks for all the tips for the beginners (me)!
7:30 though you should try to start healing just at the end of Valk ult for that extra heal boost while the beam is on that target. Atleast until it breaks
Having no self heal ability can be so painful, I hope they bring back her healing passive to how it was in OW1 for some reason that extra half second really threw me 😂
11:50 I think I actually did this once in a game, I used our Winston to reach the Junkrat who was on high ground and behind a wall
Tip 15 I find when I'm the last one left I'm usually able to get 1 or 2 picks with my pistol as most of the enemy will be low from fighting my team!
Hey Niandra, I watched your superjump rez video tutorial, could you provide a gamemode/Code with a map where your ally is standing still and keep dying? Thank you :) Love all your Mercy content ♥
I’m trying to play mercy and I will try to understand what you are talking about. I started today and want to be a help to my team 😊
I do want to push more damage boost, but my cowardly heart always makes me go with healing. It also doesn't help that I don't trust the other healer in my team that much. If the other healer has generally low healing, like Brigitte or Lucio, I tend to focus more on healing.
I usually try to damage boost during Valk though.
I can't do superjump rez consistently, so I have been doing a poor-man version of it. I superjump first, then fall down until I am in rez range then start the rez. Don't know how much it helps though.
1:54 I feel like this can be summed up in the advice of: your job is to help your team win the fight, not to heal them.
there are games where there are healers, where the role or category is called "healer." wow is a good example of this. being good at the healer role in wow means knowing your spell rotations so you can pump out the most healing per mana and you can keep your tank and dpses alive as well as knowing when you can get away with lower cost healing spells and just save the higher cost ones for when you REALLY need them. and generally, you only contribute damage when everyone is more or less full. in most scenarios like raids, healers are not doing much except healing for the entire encounter.
overwatch is not like that. overwatch is a different kind of game. the role is called support. healing is one of our tools, but it's not the main or only tool. support is about helping the team win the fight. it's not "heal heal heal and only when everyone is full, do something else"
just because you can heal doesn't mean healing is your only or more important contribution. and just because someone is missing hp and could be healed doesn't mean your #1 priority is to replace the health they're missing
Hey do u have a twitch? I don't have discord but I'd like to learn more and that's where I spend most of my time
i dont even play mercy i just wanted to know this stuff. good vid.
Thanks to this I figured out why i cant win a game anymore (my team is always bad)
Did you make those cute icons for characters their adorable!
I find what you say about damage amplification interesting. I use damage amp equally with healing and in my best game I get 30 assists but I only get 1k damage amplification which is 1/3 of the goal I should reach. Does damage amp matter more than the assists that I have contributed? I get usually 51% damage amp and 49% healing by the way.
always aim to live, try to get 4 deaths per 10 minimum. healing and dmg amp per 10 are situational but the thing you can control the most on mercy is how long your living
Did anyone realize she predicted lifeguard mercy 😂
Lol😊
I was a little curious about your discord, other than what you mentioned about getting Mercy tips and such i was curious if you had a section for anyone that would be looking to lay Overwatch but i guess you don't and that the discord is primarily used for tips and such
Tip #2 Blew my mind. I never knew Mercy had that kind of range. Is that longer than a Hog Hook?
Like commented and subscribed 👍
Console player who had to sacrifice my ping wheel for the key bindings I prefer.
Worth ditching the reload button entirely on her and just using the beam switch instead so I can utilise the pings?
Is looking down when you resurrect something you should do?
I got this video accidentally recommended, i play Genji... but I clicked to say thank u to all of u mercy players, not many ppl
It's difficult to get 2-3K damage amplified in mid to lower ranks. Total team damage at those ranks is often less than 12K including DPS, Tanks and Support. Instead, can we look at a goal for the % of time using damage boost vs healing? What is a good % goal? My damage is around 60-65% vs my healing at 40% - 35%. Is that what Mercy's are doing at the higher ranks, or are they putting out even more damage boost on average?
I am not a super high rank, just low diamond, but I also have 60 to 40 ratio (in general, different games can go differently depending on many factors, can be 70-30 or more like 56-44 or so, but heal beam usage is never higher than dmg boost usage)
This especially now after her nerf lol
There are times to "healbot". I just started playing today but I can already see the flow of how mercy is supposed to work. Healbotting is good when you dont know whats around the corner. Someone could be waiting there with a sniper or high damage weapon and eat half the bar of whoever peeked instantly. If you get caught off guard its okay cause youre already healing. Ive also noticed if you healbot your teammates they seem to be overall more confident and more likely to push up on to the objective. Thats probably the most important part. Mercy is an extremely aggressive and fast support play style and if your teammates are not being aggressive and pushing then mercy is essentially useless and you might as well use someone else. If you know what youre doing, your team is steamrolling with your support and when you die suddenly they drop like fliesm
Didn't they patch out resetting res cooldown? just like lamp has the cooldown carried over as well?
Not everyone likes playing mercy but I'll happily do it to help my team makes
this made me realize I have a horrible habit of pressing heal when ana grenades my team, idk why I do it- its like a reflex I could be damage boosting and then grenade makes me instinct instintively
Just pullout your pistol and play battle mercy, use your teammates only as a mere mobility tool and maybe to grind some ult, but you must always remember that you're dps(also try to persuade your Anna to nanoboost you whenever you ult, ez kills)
7.33sens 1000dpi best sensitivty for fast looking but also very good aim outside of mercy
I have a question. If u damage boost. Will it increase heal form ana, baptiste, kiriko, other mercy in no limit, and other support
