Tips and tricks to play Freja

Freja in Overwatch 2 features a similar playstyle to most marksman heroes. Hence, you should always try to stay in an elevated space. You can also use Freja’s Updraft ability to climb onto various places that most characters cannot reach. Since you will have a good vision of the enemies from a high place, you can easily deal damage and potentially secure eliminations.

As a DPS who can easily eliminate squishy enemies, you should target the enemy supports. You can hit them once with your crossbow and finish them off using Freja’s Take Aim ability. After using it, you can activate Quick Dash to reset her Secondary Fire and utilize it again. As for her Ultimate, it's a great CC ability that also deals a significant amount of damage.
