    Overwatch 2 Mercy Counters: 3 Best Hero Picks

    Karan PahujaBy Karan PahujaOctober 20, 20223 Mins Read

    Mercy is a Support hero in Overwatch 2 that is quite easy to counter. Unlike some other supports, her abilities are more focused on helping her team out. So it is quite easy to pick on her with most heroes. But you should not underestimate her just because she is a Support, she can be very formidable if your opponent knows how to play as her. So in this guide let us check the best counters for Mercy in Overwatch 2.

    How To Counter Mercy In Overwatch 2 – Best Heroes

    The best ways to counter Mercy are by either eliminating her or overwhelming her. Mercy being a Support character has to be in the vicinity of her team in order to heal them or boost their damage. Thus picking her is easier than many other characters in the game. Now you could either start attacking her and her teammates if you have area-damaging abilities. Or you can directly eliminate her by one-shotting her using heroes like Widowmaker or Hanzo. Lastly, using a tank like Winston can also help you disrupt your opponent’s play. These are the 3 best Counters for Mercy in Overwatch 2.

    • Soldier 76
    • Widowmaker
    • Winston

    Soldier 76 – Best Counter for Mercy in Overwatch 2

    Soldier 76 arguably has the best abilities for countering Mercy. His Heavy Pulse Rifle can do a lot of damage to mercy considering it is a Hitscan weapon. Now pair it up with Helix Rockets and you can secure the kill in fights. His sprint also allows him to flank her while she is healing or boosting damage of her team. His Ultimate Tactical Visor is excellent for eliminating her and any ally she might be supporting. Even his Biotic Field is helpful when you need to recuperate if she charges with her team, while you wait for backup.

    Widowmaker

    As mentioned previously, Widowmaker is excellent because of her long range. She can one-shot snipe Mercy with ease. As a Widowmaker you just need to look out for possible spots where Mercy plays from. Because of her being Support she can’t just hide throughout the game. So a good way to deal with her would be looking out for enemies with lower health. She should join them in an attempt to heal, and once she does, all you have to do is just eliminate her.

    Winston

    Much like the above two examples, you can surprisingly take a 1v1 fight against mercy. This is because of the energetic play style of Winston. You can use your Jump Pack and Tesla Cannon to attack her and her teammates, which allows you to deal damage to multiple enemies at the same time. Plus Primal Rage and Jump Pack are also effective for attacking her when she flies during her ultimate.

    That covers this guide on the 3 best heroes to counter Mercy in Overwatch 2. I suggest you also check our counters for Kiriko and Zarya. And for help on other tips for this game check out our Overwatch 2 Wiki.
