Mercy’s Abilities
Caduceus Staff – R2 for healing/R1 for buffing
The two beams from Mercy’s staff allow you to either buff or heal a teammate. Holding down R1 will increase an ally’s damage output, and holding down R2 will heal them up instead. The range on these beams is pretty decent, so you can still stay in cover while supporting allies who are on the frontlines.
Caduceus Blaster – R2
Mercy’s personal sidearm should be used in emergencies only. If you find yourself trapped with no escape, whip out the Blaster and try to take down as many enemies as you can. Alternatively, should you ever get the drop on an enemy, shooting them in the back will earn you an easy kill. Mercy is primarily a support character, but don’t forget that she can defend herself as well.
Guardian Angel – L1
This allows Mercy to target an ally and fly towards them. This is useful whenever an ally is in critical condition and needs immediate healing. You can also use this ability to get out of harm’s way. If you’re being chased down by enemies, quickly fly towards an ally and support them while they shoot everyone else down.
Angelic Descent – X
This ability allows you to slow down your descending speed while falling from great heights.
Resurrect – Triangle
Once your Ultimate is charged up, you’ll be able to revive a KO’d character and bring them back into battle. Make sure you use this ability wisely. If an ally that you were supporting dies in battle, you can use Resurrect to revive them immediately. If you’re looking to revive an ally far away from you, make sure there aren’t too many enemies around, or that you have someone watching your back when approaching your fallen ally.
