The Damage Heroes in Overwatch 2’s Stadium can take over the game. With the potential to take out an enemy squishy Hero in the blink of an eye, it becomes nearly impossible to get close to them before your entire team gets demolished. While some of it depends on the skill of the player behind the Hero, some builds allow you to carry with ease.
Ashe has plenty of builds she can utilize to demolish her opponents. Her Dynamite and B.O.B. builds make for some fireworks, and Butlers serving you pain. However, we do not want to rely on our abilities to deal damage. We want to do the damage ourselves. So we buff The Viper as much as possible to make it so any enemy Hero on our screens suffers and struggles to take us down with extra healing. If your Powers or Items reload The Viper, it works with Reload Therapy, but restore does not.
To carry as Cassidy in Stadium, we have chosen a more unconventional build that combines the powers of his Combat Roll and Peacekeeper builds. The intention is to maintain some survivability while still being able to output high damage numbers. The build especially excels when dealing with close-range enemies.
Genji has always been a traditional Assassin Hero in Overwatch 2, and we are pushing that to the extreme. While also making him as unkillable as possible. Our predominant source of damage will be the Swift Strike, which is not only there to finish off eliminations but can cut down enemies even at high health.
Mei is probably the most annoying Hero in Stadium. The fact that she can roll around in an iceball, knocking everyone around, makes for some frustrating moments for her opponents. But it is hilarious when you push the enemy team around the map while dealing significant damage. And who could forget that pesky Ice Wall that knows damage and slows opponents, too? She may be cute and icy, but underneath her kind appearance, a devilish desire is waiting to burst.
Reaper’s best build in Stadium comes at a price. He leaves himself vulnerable and predictable. While there are some situations where the enemy Heroes can not shut down the Reaper Death Blossom TP hard enough, enough Heroes can make it too dangerous. Ana, Orisa, D.Va, Kirko, Ashe, and even Mei can easily deny the value of TP Death Blossom. Instead, we focus primarily on his Wraith Form and overall survivability to ensure we can get kills.
Soldier: 76 is your cookie-cutter First Person Shooter Hero. He fires an Auto-Rifle and runs around, making him one of the most straightforward Heroes to learn in Overwatch 2. The build for today will index heavily into ensuring our primary deals heaps of damage while also giving us some aim-bot outside of using our Ultimate.
