5 best Overwatch 2 heroes to duo with Mercy

Mercy in Overwatch 2 is a support-class hero, and is oftentimes known as the resident healer in the game. She acts exclusively as a healer in the game, however, she derives the most utility by damage-boosting her teammates using her Caduceus Staff. Mercy can automatically lock into her teammates, and use her Caduceus Staff to provide them with a consistent stream of healing, or damage boost, as and when required by them.

Furthermore, she features fantastic mobility, however, it's not something that works by default. Players have to spend hours grinding to understand her Guardian Angel movement concept, all of which, when mastered, allows her to zoom around the battlefield and evade all incoming damage.

As evident, she definitely needs some teammates to actually be effective on the field and to achieve that, we have curated a list of the 5 best Overwatch 2 heroes to duo with Mercy in Overwatch 2 Season 15. Read below for a more detailed brief on these characters.

D.Va and other amazing heroes to use alongside Mercy in Overwatch 2

1) Pharah

Pharah, the Egyptian Damage hero in Overwatch 2, is arguably the perfect partner for Mercy. She uses her Hover Jets to glide through the air using short bursts. This means Mercy can follow her around using the Guardian Angel ability, and both of them can play airborne most of the time.

Mercy can also provide Pharah with damage amplification, making her Rocket Launchers and the Rocket Barrage ultimate even stronger than they already are.

The harmony between the two heroes is also complementary through Pharah’s high damage output and Mercy’s high heal output.

2) Genji

Genji is another damage hero who complements Mercy's kit perfectly. The hero features extremely hyper-mobile abilities, all of which allow Mercy to engage Guardian Angel and fly around. Using Genji as an anchor, Mercy can fly around the battlefield and help her fellow teammates.

Furthermore, Mercy's Damage Boost significantly alters Genji's threat level on the field. The higher damage output potential using this combo makes the cyborg ninja a massive threat. Pairing damage boost with Dragonblade is also a fantastic idea as it provides Genji with the ability to eliminate enemy players without breaking a sweat.

3) D.Va

D.Va is a tank hero from Overwatch 2. She has two forms, one in her MEKA suit and the other in her human form.

As with most tanks, D.Va has a range of abilities, both offensive and defensive. Mercy players can make sure that D.Va stays alive as their primary tank during both offensives and when on the Defender side.

D.Va, combined with her increased mobility, can secure kills easily and rely on the Mercy to follow her around to provide constant healing and amplification. On the defender side, keeping the tank alive is also Mercy’s priority, and D.Va is no different, with her Defense Matrix being useful in stopping enemy projectiles.

4) Echo

Echo, like Pharah, is an airborne Damage hero in Overwatch 2, making her a great partner for Mercy. She is dangerous in both long and short ranges. However, the hero may struggle against larger enemies, as she is quite low on the HP scale. This is where Mercy comes in.

Echo’s ultimate lets her mimic an enemy hero. This means that mimicking characters like Symmetra, with Mercy pumping in Damage Amplification, will allow efficient eliminations.

Like other airborne characters, pocket-healing Mercy and Echo will be very hard to kill or even pull down from the sky.

5) Sojourn

Overwatch 2’s high-octane Damage hero, Sojourn, can be really effective when paired with Mercy. Her Railgun (default Fire) charges up her Alt-fire — a singular straight burst of energy — by shooting it at enemies or objects. The higher the charge, the stronger the burst. With Mercy’s Damage Amplification, this ability can do tremendous damage.

Valkyrie, Mercy’s ultimate form, is very useful to Sojourn. As Sojourn is a Damage class hero, she might not always be capable of protecting Supports.

With her ult activated, Mercy can remain in the air and provide both healing and amplification to Sojourn without having to worry about being ambushed.
