General advice Overwatch Guide

1. Some heroes have a shield that protects them from the front (e.g. Bastion using Configuration: Sentry or Reinhardt). In such cases, you will need to get behind the enemy to inflict damage. This way you won't have to break through their powerful shield before you're able to do some harm.

2. When capturing a strategic point, for the mission to progress there must be more attacking than defending heroes within the marked area.

3. When capturing an object and its escort you MUST remain in its vicinity to keep the mission progress and have a chance of winning.

4. When in combat do not focus on the Tank in the first place. You probably won't be able to take him down alone, and no doubt after a short while he will get support.

5. Before you use the hero's ultimate ability, first ensure that your team will have some benefit from you using it. Rambo-heroics usually end in death, and it will take some time before the ability recharges to be used again.

6. Skills having the knock-back or stun effect can interrupt some of the enemy skills or even an ultimate ability!

7. Shotguns are effective in close quarters and in tight spaces but almost useless at long range.

8. First aid kits are scaterred throughout each map, they can be used to restore the health of your hero when the need arises. It is worth to spend some time to familiarize yourself with the maps, so that you know where to go when you need specific things.

9. When selecting a hero, think about who will give your team a better chance to win. A good team will work like a well-oiled machine on the battlefield, and well-matched characters can benefit from many synergies.

10. Try to constantly monitor the roster of the opposing team to avoid surprises during the match. In the game, you can change your character at any moment, so it is better to be on guard.
