Ultimate MERCY DAMAGE-BOOST Guide For Overwatch 2 | Niandra

Flying, attaching beam and jumping backwards is gotta be one of the best new techs. It's simple, extremely useful and it just feels good to pull off

As a (not very good) mercy main with a hand related disability, thank you so much for this video and for acknowledging that some strategies can be a lot harder with hand issues!

Another good tip is that the damage boost effects last 0.5 seconds after stopping damage boost meaning if your ashe/sojourn/pharah are taking a little poke here and there but they're constantly hitting the enemy constantly spam both beams to get both benefits at the same time

Oh okay this Christmas gift is goated

This reminds me when my teammate called me bad for getting 11k healing because they kept rushing in and dying but i got 3k dmg boosted 50/50 ratio, I am love your videos because it reminds me I'm not that bad, people are just ignorant

niandra really makes my fave mercy tips videos, literally got me from silver to diamond

It's really risky to suggest target goals for beam usage percentage and damage boost, as Mercy has to adapt to the needs of her team, not try to pad her stats. Kayvan is the highest ranked mercy with 47/53% Boost/Heal with 1500 boost/10. Brattybottom 2nd highest mercy with 63/37 boost/heal and 1800 boost/10. 3rd rank Skesti 64/36 boost/heal with 2k boost/10. So just keep this in mind.

I think i have 2 main problems, i push damage boost a little bit too much, and if my other supports gets hurt i panick and just stick with them

I think the reason why Ramattra and Sojourn's Vortex and Snare work the way they are with damage boost because they are active placeable abilities that do damage, while Ashe is more of a burst throwable that only affects people who get hit by the blast, While with Ramattra and Sojourn only damage if people or in the ability.

awesome guide! was kinda hoping you'd talk about the usage of the pistol vs dmg boost scenarios, I hope you're considering making a video about that at least

I've recently picked up mercy again after ignoring her since basically 2018. Mind you, I'm a low level lilly, but i've realised that sometimes it just doesn't matter who you damage boost in lower elo's, sometimes people just won't hit enough things to get 2 or 3k/10min. Like, I've just given up playing the blue beam bot just so I can never hear any damage tick up. Instead, I sometimes simply whip out the glock. 5k dmg with 6-8k healing per 10 min and the complete demoralization of the enemy team usually help more than <1k dmg boosted. But maybe that's just the zen player inside of me trying to find arguments for having fun on Mercy.

unrelated to the damage boost, mercy's GA is still in its OW1 state in freezethaw elim

Hey there! As a Mercy enthusiast myself I love to watch your content, Niandra! All the time and effort you put into creating your videos really shows. Have a nice day!

I want to talk about the Baptiste Healing example more. I think something that will help players is to actually get to know how much damage characters do. Learning these numbers can really help decision making on whether you should drop to heal or what not. The Baptiste example shows how experienced your beam juggling is and by learning these numbers and the playstyles of each character can really help your decisions as a mercy. Personally for me I am more inclined to heal more against an Ashe because she has abilities that can get past shields and cover and do a lot of damage compared to someone like Mei who does not have (obviously use best judgement but you get the idea).

i don't play mercy but i feel like i always learn something new about the support role from your advice tbh. also perfect background music choice my GOD i'm so relaxed

2:47 "TACTICAL BOTHEALING" LMAOO THATS SOOO GOOOD

Great tips. The biggest things for me were some of the details you just mentiones off hand, like tracking cooldowns and such. There is so much that can go into playing this game that I wouldnt even consider

Thanks for the new video and hope you’ve had a great Christmas :) I think damage boost numbers are very rank dependent and team dependent though. 3k over 10mins is next to impossible in gold or plat, not without completely ignoring the rest of your team. And yes, I understand that you’re supposed to have a second support to focus on the tank, but often that just doesn’t happen and you end up getting flamed for “not healing” (doesn’t help that damage amp isn’t shown on the scoreboard). Your team turns into a toxic mess and you lose. In solo queue unfortunately it is often just better to focus on healing to keep the peace, especially in ranks under diamond. I totally understand that’s not how Mercy is supposed to be played. But with the game now full of TikTok kids everyone seems to go off and do their own thing, how a hero is “supposed” to be played doesn’t seem to mean much at all :(

I FUCKING KNEW THE VIDEO GOT UPLOADED THEN DELETED I WASNT GOING INSANE

Great video, I especially like the shot of Ana and mercy looking up in the sky as their team burns 😂 Great visual comedy 👌 not something you expect from an OW tips and tricks, but certainly enjoyed :D
