What was your favorite tip??

[@Waseemmmm]

The one with mercy in it

[@Waseemmmm]

It was just so unique, great tip

[@minttm]

Learning beam LOS cooldown. Was practicing that, so its good to know how long that lasts

[@voidguardian6002]

Spamming the angelic decent key looks so goofy

[@Chowo93]

I think I´m going to try out the Heal-Damage-Beam swap now with the option to set different keys for certain abilites. Like with other supports (Baptiste, Kiriko, Lifeweaver) I use the primary fire to damage and the secondary to heal. Maybe trying that out for Moira could work, too?

[@blissfulhatred2765]

Skiesti spawning a new league of mercy mains with her tip videos ❤❤❤ Thank you so much

[@Skiesti]

Just out here helping out my fellow Mercy players :>

[@The-hamster2471]

The power she carries

[@slushii4230]

Found this channel because I was thinking about maining Mercy and now I am a die hard Mercy main and fanboy

[@misaZs]

mercy in her vampire era for the sympathetic recovery fr

[@Skiesti]

It's just WAAAAAY too accurate for Sympathetic Recovery LMAOO

[@xneytri]

Vampire skin when? 😛

[@karamei]

Additional tip for Res that has been stated before in these types of videos: Crouch can get you access to Res a soul that's below you, allowing you to maintain a highground position. I've been utilizing this surprisingly a LOT lately. I think Skiesti does this exact thing at 13:20

[@Skiesti]

Crouch Rezzes are AMAZING. It's something I go over more in depth in my rez guide and I do it at the time you mentioned!

[@bendersbeard]

Thanks to Skiesti's Mercy tips, I've climbed from being hardstuck Diamond to hitting Masters in consecutive seasons. Mercy mains really stay winning when we have great educational and engaging content creators like this :)

[@Skiesti]

Oooh congrats on the climb!! :>

[@capers86]

You got carried

[@ohitsjustrandy]

hard carried

[@Devil_of_Wrath]

Good job, ignore the other two they’re probably projecting. Keep the grind going! Have fun

[@ohitsjustrandy]

@@Devil_of_Wrath we play with OP almost everyday. this is how we jab at each other. have a nice day!

[@Bryce_Crawford]

I fr didn’t know valk had a constant 1.5 second cooldown. I just thought the pressure of the fight made it seem that way lol.

[@Skiesti]

It's easy to miss when everything is so hectic!

[@GM_Flynx]

Great tips, as always. Flipping Damage Boost and Healing beams to primary and alternate fire, and setting the Caduceus Blaster to fire on both buttons really made my life as a Mercy main easier. But I had already implemented these lessons from you and another Mercy main a while ago. :)

[@Skiesti]

I've been encouraging people to do DMG boost on primary and heal on alternate for YEARS but it's always my go to DMG boost tip and if there are new Mercy players that stumble upon this, it's definitely one I want them to see

[@dimitridionissiou1000]

2:45 As a Greek mythology nerd, it absolutely is how you pronounce it and I can’t even imagine how else you would.

[@calipsaa2285]

I got you in a game one time on Esperanca and im still star struck LMAOO

[@Skiesti]

Wait... Was that recently...... Because if you were the Kiriko that talked to me at the end of the game it made my day

[@calipsaa2285]

@@Skiesti YES LMAOOO

[@_luna.b_8938]

a thing to note now: as of the beginning of season 8, whenever u pop valk, the beam no longer disconnects (:

[@xcolmanrickx3027]

It's so hard learning mercy, and people get so mad when im damage boosting more, then im healing. It's like most players think mercy is a heal bot. it's rough

[@bells4lunya]

3:28 this tip is very helpful for maps like Nepal where you can fall off point out of enemy los and still make it back up

[@Shimezu]

THANKS! This was really helpful!

[@Dayhawn]

Ooo love that Valk has GA cd at 1.5 regardless of slingshot or super jump additions. That’s awesome! Great way to get extra movement for those intense team fights

[@YuriLix]

uh no if you sling shot or super jump its a 3 sec cooldown. x'D Anything other than a standard GA is a 3 sec cooldown.

[@SirenRyan]

@@YuriLix no, in Valkyrie that is not the case, the original commenter is correct. Valkyrie GA's have no extended CD. Also, not a single GA is a 3 sec CD, idk why Skiesti says that when it's objectively untrue. The CD of GAs with tech will always be 3 seconds MINUS however long you slingshot/superjump for. If you do a full 1 second long slingshot, the CD is only 2.0 seconds (.5 extended activation duration + 1.5 CD). If you do a tiny little micro movement, the CD could be anywhere from 2.0-2.9 seconds depending on how long you are slingshotting for, etc.

[@Skiesti]

I didn't consciously notice it either for quite a while LMAO but it's a VERY good tip to remember!

[@RoseFire_Mercy]

I’ve learned so much from your videos! It’s also a big help that you demonstrate what you’re talking about for a visual aid. Ik I have a lot more improvements to make still but my play style is night and day compared to how it used to be because of your tips

[@iicedchaii]

helpful as always, skiesti! my mercy gameplay has only improved since watching your videos. have a great day!

[@Skiesti]

Always happy to be of help!

[@Sneg404]

A great, very detailed video. Thank you!

[@CANWEKISSRN]

I’ve started to pick up Mercy more thanks to meeting a very reliable dps duo. (a genji and hanzo duo funny enough). I used to main dps but I’ve found myself sticking it to support in the meantime for them. I really hadn't known much about her, given I was a DPS main, so these videos really have been helping me figure out how to best support them with her! I use other supports too but sometimes mercy is what gets the job done. Great tips, useful video!

[@rbogdan6782]

Pretty damn good tips, thank you !

[@tleva]

Proud mercy main reporting! These tips have helped me win a lot and be a successful mercy main. it's hard to keep your sanity good in Overwatch without winning lol. I feel like the only thing keeping most mercy players down is how they think she is a main support and don't realise the flexibility, power, and value you get off of DB, so I often see bad mercy's with over 11000 - 12000 heals with a Moira/Ana/any main support on their team. Great tips again though!

[@sanddollar500]

Thank you, Ski! Your videos and tips are the reason why I decided to main Mercy when I first started playing Overwatch and you've helped me improve so so much the past year. I started out in Gold and now I just hit Diamond 5 for the first time ever today! All thanks to you and other mercy content creators, thank you for helping me and so many others learn and have fun with our beloved Mercy 💛

[@myawen_]

The GA prep while resing is cool!

[@cjme757]

Okay confession time... So I got into a heated argument with my dps. He was mad because apparently mercy is supposed to hold the tanks hand all game. I was quick to bring up Niandra, Zaou, and of course Skiesti. I was like "If you genuinely believe mercy is useless have one of these 3 legends on your team. They'll carry your ass outta bronze."

[@Skiesti]

I promise it's not worth arguing with people who don't understand the hero and think Mercy's job is to hold the tanks hand all game 😭

[@cjme757]

@@Skiesti It was qp, But I'm not gonna let mercy get disrespected by a tracer 1 trick

[@albertbutros]

I'v played Mercy since Beta and in t500 and I never knew that healing output stayed the same if u stay on healing after valk! thank you! Your awesome as always Skiesti

[@wish-maker]

Skiesti back at it again! ❤️❤️

[@jonker5096]

Just the tip about being able to change blaster aim sens is a setting I never thought/knew to look for. Thanks again skiesti

[@Skiesti]

No problem! Changing the blaster aim sens helped me SO much as a Mercy player w/ a really high sens

[@PurpleMoon799]

thank you ski! your tips are so helpful and ill make sure to try to use them. im a new player in gold with her and its really hard to climb 😭

[@Skiesti]

No problem! I hope they serve you well, good luck in the climb!

[@snailcat655]

THE FRIENDLY MERCY AT THE BEGINNING OF THE VIDEO LOL protect her

[@Skiesti]

SHE WAS SO CUTE I thought it would be really fun to use for the intro so happy someone enjoyed it!

[@DeeTasticGaming]

Well dam. I don't know how I didn't know about SJ... lol. I did the mastery courses and was wondering why those straight up jumps were so hard to hit with the Spacebar >.> Awesome video!

[@zc8673]

0:38 Wait, so when Mercy's passive is active, she's healing her teammates for less than 55hps? I thought it was 13.75hps for herself, in addition to the 55hps for her ally. Am I misunderstanding this?

[@Skiesti]

Mercy's base healing is 55hp/s. 25% of that healing is 13.75hp/s which is the passive she gets for herself

[@miyo_oju]

i just want to say, thanks a lot! love your vids, greetings from Brazil!

[@Re-Reloading]

Don’t forget that sympathetic recovery stacks with Mercy’s ult so you’re getting healed a ton when ulting and healing a teammate

[@Skiesti]

Yup! That's the third tip in the Sympathetic Recovery section!

[@Renders01]

Skiesti i never got to experience mercys old guardian angel can you put it into words for me :/

[@strawberryhellokittyplush2912]

i've been playing since season 20 OW. it was much more consistent and fluid now it feels like there are gaps/inconsistences in her GA.

[@mateii.]

i loved the vid !!! Also i wanted to ask, how do ypu change the teams color from blue to yellow,it looks so much better !!

[@Skiesti]

You go into the accessibility settings and it'll be under color blind settings

[@mateii.]

@@Skiesti tyy

[@heartsforjade1559]

I learned a lot from this

[@murilovieira4963]

Amazing content as aways!!

[@slushii4230]

11:41 DPS Mercy is so fun and such a troll to the enemy team

[@Frostyy_-]

12:28 you destroyed the whole team with the pistol 🤣

[@loudmein6591]

Much appreciated

[@sabrinasanchez2375]

That last tip really helps because I do it alot

[@Skiesti]

It's a REALLY frequent mistake that I notice. It's okay in some situations when the enemy isn't playing any heroes to punish you but it's sure to get you killed in others. It's also good to remember to not look straight down during Valkyrie or else you'll miss critical information about the enemy team

[@happyllama7638]

Hey Ski! Thank you for the tips! Although I have a question, I feel like recently they changed her movement speed when ressing in valk, somehow I always go out of range(I feel like I don't have that slow compared to when I normally use the ability), am I the only one who feels like something's not right? Thank you for your answer in advance!

[@C4l4m1ty22]

Insane vid :D i send this to all my mates who say mercy only heal when i damage boost 😂

[@chrisclinton2460]

thank you

[@XxTheMedicxX99]

Half of this, I didn't know about. I'm a moira main but would love to try mercy more

[@annathestreamer1]

Great video there is also a superjump bug tech that lets you get the 1.5sec cooldown instead of 3 sec when pressing guardian angel and then crouch guardian angel at the same time this only works if you have toggle GA ON can you make a video about this ? They might remove it

[@sforzando]

it’s possible with toggle GA off as well - you just have to let go of GA/cancel it at the same time as your slingshot. it works the exact same as the toggle on timing 👍

[@Skiesti]

I'm not teaching people the SJ bug tech, it's inconsistent and is most likely going to be patched so there's no point

[@kupid.09]

Definitely going to have to try switching my secondary fire and my primary fire I panic heal bot and it's worse cuz I'm on controler 😭❤

[@Skiesti]

Would HIGHLY recommend it. It's really helped all the Mercy players I've suggested it to start DMG boosting more! It'll take time to get used to so try not to get too frustrated when you're first adjusting

[@ballisticchillz]

I learn more about mercy when ski uploads😇

[@Skiesti]

That's the hope!

[@yourcomputr]

Skiesti wants me to main mercy but every time I do I either get beamed or get told “mercy can you heal” that’s when I play any support tho

[@voidguardian6002]

battle mercy go crazy

[@Skiesti]

The 4k.... Her power......

[@AlluneArt]

Thank you for the info Ski! I'm going to be changing my pistol sensitivity to 30! and putting my beam sensitivity to 100! Awesome video! keep it up ^^

[@Skiesti]

I've got my pistol sensitivity at 30 as well! It used to be 50 but I lowered it more and it's been pretty good. I hope it's been working out well for you!

[@AlluneArt]

@@Skiesti I think I need to try 50 first and ease my self into 30. It's too big a jump right now hehe. I love your videos so inspiring!

[@timmysa2634]

heyy Skiesti do still do mercy vod reviews?

[@Skiesti]

I do VOD reviews still but they are for a price

[@bryanhayward1208]

I've never heard of the valk tips before

[@Skiesti]

Valk had the most tips since I just had so many ideas for it, glad I could help you learn something new!

[@LumaSloth]

6:48 Wait. *SINCE WHEN?!?!?*

[@Beansonline]

and skiesti is back with new helpful tips , it really helped me to climb from masters to gm , if your reading this please take Care and stay safe

[@thomasmitchell5641]

U helped me climb to silver from bronze :D

[@LilyChiDraws]

Bold of you to assume I have a second support when I play. Lol because open queue. 😅

[@IYGSi]

Do you play the widow gamemode belt any chance cus I saw your name in the custom game widow game I play

[@Skiesti]

I used to in OW1 but I haven't played Widow headshot lobbies or anything in a looooong time

[@IYGSi]

@@Skiesti oh okay it's because I saw you exact username and thought it was a funny coincidence 😂

[@Overwatch2010]

So Mercy’s reload is the same as Bastions got it

[@KathyCod]

Hello, could you tell me how to reduce mersy's hitbox that you show at minute 1:52? It's that I don't speak English and it's not completely clear to me, apart from the fact that the subtitles in my language don't work very well in the video, I would really appreciate it if you write it to me here, I hope it doesn't bother you

[@Skiesti]

So if you spam the key for Angelic Descent (Normally it's jump and crouch), your wings don't open compared to when you hold Angelic Descent your wings do open. Having your wings closed reduces the hitbox because the wings aren't showing

[@andirmiga]

Why did I never realize I see all the enemy healthbars during valk?! I mean i did pistol low health enemys but I never realized i saw all their healthbar because of valk lol

[@Skiesti]

Yup, you've been able to see enemy healthbars in Valk for quite a while, it's a neat addition

[@egri1718]

How do I ping on ps5?

[@Overwatch2010]

6:37 So she's like bastion got it

[@bapv2fr]

Do a pistol mercy guide

[@renicecream8238]

Ahh I would love to watch ur streams but twitch is soooo laggy

[@HesOneShotOMG]

I think everyone should have to play Mercy for a couple of hours before they play anyother role 😂. I think she’s really fun, but I don’t think near enough people understand how hard it is to play her sometimes.

[@TastyGamingQc]

Surely you meant having toggle crouch on and I misunderstood

[@Skiesti]

Turn toggle crouch off

[@iheart_yourmom]

Wait didn't they remove the heals at the start

[@Skiesti]

No, Sympathetic Recovery is still a thing

[@iheart_yourmom]

@@Skiesti I see tysm

[@stovlas]

wasnt sympathetic recovery removed?

[@ily_mew]

yea i’m confused too….

[@stovlas]

@@ily_mew i literally got excited cause i thought it was back lmfao

[@Skiesti]

No, Sympathetic Recovery is still very much in the game. If you're injured and you're healing another ally that's not full health, you will heal off of them for 25% of 55hp/s

[@ily_mew]

@@Skiesti do does she now have sympathetic recovery as well as her old passive (regen health faster than the other supports) ?

[@arbuz510]

​@@ily_mewno, the old passive was replaced by sympathetic recovery but she has constant regen when ulting

[@user-eo4it2rn1f]

i dont get the 5 tip for angelic decent

[@Skiesti]

When you Superjump by pressing crouch and trigger Angelic Descent, you'll float straight down like I do in the clip When you Superjump by angling and jumping, you will float in whatever direction you look w/o pressing any of your directional keys (for PC, WASD in the keyboard on the screen). In the clip I look and jump to the left so I float to the left. If I had looked and jumped to the right, I would have floated in that direction.
