Tips for playing Orisa

1. It’s fitting that Orisa leads the charge in our offensive line, and she can be quite a hassle for the opposing team.

1. “Feel free to dance the tango and engage enemies closely using the Augmented Fusion Driver. Keep in mind that it’s less potent at long distances, so aim for close-to-medium range encounters.”

Be sure to keep an eye on team members with declining health and use the Javelin Spin when necessary. This will provide a momentary reprieve for healers such as Mercy, allowing them to effectively assist their struggling allies.

When there’s a significant offensive from the enemy team, try to utilize Orisa’s Fortify ability as frequently as you can. With her increased health effect, you become an attractive target for their assaults. Since Orisa transforms into gold when she pushes hard, opponents often focus more on her actions behind the robot.

As a gamer, let me tell you about my favorite move: the Energy Javelin! This game-changing attack is perfect for taking down weaker opponents. To really tip the scales in my favor, I aim for the main damage dealers like Genji or crucial support heroes such as Ana. Knocking them off balance can make all the difference in the heat of battle!

As a gamer, when I manage to corner my opponents against a wall, not only do they become momentarily incapacitated, but it also gives me a golden opportunity to quickly eliminate them right after.

1. In summary, the ultimate ability is ideal when you notice an enemy team huddled on an objective. Start off with the Javelin Spin maneuver to ward off incoming fire, followed by the Terra Surge to inflict substantial damage on the enemy team. However, remember to always have support nearby during this tactic.
