General Strategy
- Mercy's blaster has very niche usage, but when used correctly, it can add significant value to a fight.
- Since the blaster is a projectile-type weapon, its usefulness drops at longer ranges because it's easy to dodge, but if Mercy is close to an enemy, she can do a decent amount of damage, especially if you land headshots consistently.
- In most situations, it is better to damage boost a teammate than to pull out your blaster, but if your entire team is distracted or in the middle of a winning fight, taking out a very low health enemy with a headshot is a perfectly valid strategy.
- It is also a good strategy to pull out your blaster when alone, such as when you're returning to your team from spawn. It is very possible that it could save you from a swift death.
- A good way to get value from Mercy's blaster is to use it to shoot enemy deployables, such as Torbjorn's Turret, Orisa's Supercharger, or Sombra's Translocator.
