Countering Bastion

Height

One of the best ways to counter Bastion is to get above this robotic menace. Pharah has the capability built right in, but if you’re on the right level, you can find a nice perch to force this bot to change his configuration. While it’s trying to figure out what to do to you, you can keep the attacks going.

Range

Bastion is only strong at long-range during the Ultimate Tank configuration. Outside of that, the roaming death machine isn’t so effective at anything longer than medium range. High damage snipers like Widowmaker and Hanzo can make short work of this foe then, as can other characters with long range abilities.

Speed

For all the power held in that steel frame, Bastion isn’t particularly fast. Because of that, characters like Tracer can easily outflank Bastion and punish from the sides with explosives or just constant fire.

Genji

It’s not always that you’ll see a single hero be the perfect counter to another hero. Genji’s Deflect ability is perfect for dealing with the living gun that is Bastion.
