However, his health pool is quite small, so you would need to keep moving or take cover on the backlines to reset before participating in another fight. His Soundwave ability can be used to push back enemies and is an effective tool to push heroes off the map for quick kills.

Top 5 Heroes to duo with Lucio in Overwatch 2

Lucio can provide his team with damage as well as healing, distancing him from the tag of a passive healer. This pick is a better option for teams that require higher damage output and faster pushes into an enemy-controlled area of the map. These are the five optimal picks to pair with Lucio in Overwatch 2:

1) Reinhardt

Reinhardt is the face of Tank Heroes in Overwatch 2. He comes with a traditionally high health shield, and a few abilities that make him a juggernaut for pushing into teams and isolating enemies, as well as protecting his team. Lucio has higher synergy with this Hero, as his speed boost can close the gap between Reinhardt and the enemy, allowing him to bulldoze through unsuspecting teams.

Lucio, with his AoE healing and his ability to escape sticky situations with his Wall Ride passive, is a good healer to follow a Tank around. Reinhardt can also provide additional protection to Lucio through the usage of his Barrier Field. Lucio’s ultimate, Sound Barrier, can also provide the other with an HP boost that proves to be the edge during a team fight.

2) Roadhog

Overwatch 2’s HP-dependent Tank Hero, Roadhog, is a traditional pick that can benefit greatly from having a healer at his side. Someone like Lucio who can buff movement speed is an even more significant help as Roadhog is severely limited in speed and movement. This duo can have great synergy using the former's movement amplification.

A Lucio player can help Roadhog close the gap between the opponent to deal more damage or get them in his hook’s range. Using his Soundwave abilities, our Support Hero can knock pesky counters like Bastion or Reaper away from the Tank, and send them away. Roadhog’s ability to keep himself alive and the overhealth that Lucio’s ultimate provides makes the Tank practically unkillable.

3) Moira

A double-Support team composition is the norm across Overwatch 2’s competitive meta. Playing a largely offensive healer like Moira along with a balanced healer like Lucio can ensure that your team stays alive in addition to dealing a lot of damage. Lucio and Moira can play around each other, as well as seamlessly help their teammates whenever needed.

Lucio’s field of healing can constantly keep Moira above critical levels, which allows her to keep playing her damage dealing Biotic Grasp, which in turn fuels her primary healing.

Moira’s Biotic Orb can also help out escaping Lucio players who are wall-riding, as the orb travels and collides with walls in any direction. Their ultimates can also be dealt in unison, with Lucio providing a buffer before Moira is countered, and her dealing high damage numbers faster using her Coalescence.

4) Genji

A high-mobility Damage Hero from Overwatch 2, Genji often requires healers that can keep up with him, which narrows the list down quite a lot. Lucio is a good pick to duo with him as both their kits can benefit from each other. The Support Hero providing his speed boost to a Genji player who is utilizing movement well can give them an upper hand and keep them alive.

Lucio's agility can almost match that of Genji and make it easier to support the damage dealer during skirmishes. Moreover, you can combine Genji's ultimate with Lucio's to provide the heroes with extra health points temporarily. This creates an opportunity for Genji to extend further in team fights while slashing away at enemies to secure map control.

5) D.Va

A well-known tank from Overwatch 2, D.Va is an ideal hero to pair up with Lucio, as her advanced agility is easier for Lucio to track and heal alongside with. He can also provide her with a mobility buff through his Crossfade and let this Tank use her Boosters to push into enemy territory even faster.

Bringing Sound Barrier into the battlefield while D.Va is regaining her Mech-suit can also prove to be vital. This will buy enough time for “Baby D.Va” to engage enemies in this form as well as remain on the battlefield without needing to return back from base after being eliminated. Soundwave can also knock back enemies trying to engage her while she recalls her mech.

Lucio in Overwatch 2 is one of the few support heroes who boasts high accuracy, damage output, healing, and agility. This healer becomes extremely difficult to target and pin down due to his versatile ability kit. With proper coordination and backup, Lucio can help the team capture match objectives faster and prevent allies from getting caught off-guard with his sonic blasts.
