I love the skin but its so dissapointing that us mercy mains get almost every skin in the shop instead of it being in the battle pass.

[@Skiesti]

I can't even begin to imagine the money they make from Mercy skins so LMAO I sorta expect them to be shop skins at this point

[@svenvukina613]

@@Skiesti fr, they know us mercy mains have to have every skin for her so they always put it in the shop, even tho the skins are too expensive I always eat them up lol

Literally almost screamed out in joy when I saw the valk change lmao. Also that is SUCH a cute skin. I don’t like buying shop skins but I sometimes make exceptions and I think this is one of those times tbh. Also I ADORE her hair, I love it being longer

[@Skiesti]

The sound I made when I first saw the Valk change......... I was so happy I almost cried

[@idkdontmakemebecreative334]

I audibly gasped at the change

[@Persephoneslight]

Is it in the shop atm? And how much? I am banned for some reason until next Saturday and I will seriously cry if I don't get to buy it before my ban is over next week😭

No, not now, maybe even not from the start of next season (but idkr)@@Persephoneslight

its gonna be earnable via challenges from what i read

It's insane that it's taken this long for us to get no disconnect on Valk, it's always felt so stupid that Ulting could lead to your heal target dying

What does everyone think and what would you like to know about Mercy and Mauga? EDIT: Yes I'm well aware Mercy has a Lunar New Year skin. At the time I made the video, it was uncertain if I was allowed to talk about it yet so there's no mention of it as I was erring on the side of caution. TLDR my thoughts: Representation is great but it's Mercy's 5th Asian inspired skin (Fortune, Zhuque, Seolbim, Miko, Mystic Swan). As a Swiss lady without any skins for her own culture, other heroes should be receiving Asian inspired skins rather than her

[@K1ngMercy]

So from what you said there are no special Voice lines? And with Mauga, is it valid to dmg boost him? Can you make a video, where you explain if Mauga has a higher priority for dmg boost than someone else?

[@C0rtny]

NEW SKIN W CHANGE. I'm glad they finally listened on 2 things the community wanted

[@AceUnO146]

How are you able to unlock the weapon skin for Mercy?

[@oweggytime]

game is owned by china, what do you really expect :(. tons of asian skins will be popping up soon

[@dangerbeans9639]

Mercy must be selling a lot because they are really pumping out the skins suddenly.

[@Skiesti]

LMAO for real

[@strawb3rrysuccubus]

apologies for releasing the halloween skin so late lmfao

[@AmeFayeGames]

This Mercy skin is everythinggg but I’m DYING for more info on the Year of the Dragon skin 🐉 Mercy mains crunching and munching this season 🎉💕

[@lioslifelog321]

I feel like the weapon skin is something I'll only use for a short while, so I'm really hoping for more weapon variants instead that'll mesh with the original design of the staff. Maybe like platinum or diamond or something

[@Skiesti]

Weapon skins are different from the competitive weapons (gold and coming soon emerald) so we'll likely see something like platinum or diamond for the competitive weapons

[@xailia_]

omg the mercy bob SLAYS!!! WE BEEN KNEW SHE WOULD PARTICIPATE IN BOB SZN!!! Great informational video ski!!

Mercy is a bob girlie and she looks DAMN GOOD with it

[@Miles2GoTTV]

I love how you show off the cosmetic in different highlight intros and emotes! Helps to see it in action

[@ZitronenKingGER]

The Christmas skin is fire and the POTG Intro is a really nice trigger for a bunch of OW players xD i love it.

[@AlexanderGarcia-uv7in]

Let's hope we dont get the Mercy skin at the end of the battlepass like the zombie one 💀

[@mjtj115]

No look at the Chinese New Year skin? :( Edit: Chinese New Year skin information is apparently being withheld until further notice. Makes sense because the event is in January. It's okay, I can wait :'0

[@Ts-kc5ie]

Its unfortunately unavailable to be looked at till later

[@thisismyexcitedfacee]

i've never needed a skin more than this one

[@dianaelise8693]

I seriously almost cried when i saw the valk change 😭 its such a small thing but it is seriously such a huge difference to before.. I've been waiting for SO LONG

[@fiinley]

OMG!!! the valk change is AMAZING! i also love how they’re adding separate reticles because i usually just force myself to play with my blaster’s reticle. the skin is adorable too! i love all the details! and im so glad she’s finally getting a new highlight intro. so excited for this stuff!

[@EvoluteCreator]

DUDE mercy players have been waiting for that valk change fir years

[@Rackalackberto]

Can relate to her more pronounced bags. That's what healbotting does to ya.

[@naginoriette7857]

The fact that the skin now doesn't come out till the 26th is CRIMINAL, why are they doing this to usssss

[@satoshi-raven]

I really love this skin and definitely gonna buy it! Thanks as always Skiesti ❤

awe the other event skin wasn't available for testing? Edit: I just read that you're required to hold it for a while (probably a short/long tik tok maybe when you're allowed?)

I agree, she is supposed to have bags under her eyes. Imagine being an overworked surgeon and not having bags under your eyes. Only issue I have with the skin is that the hair looks like a wig... I now have a troll headcanon. She made herself bald for easier sterility during surgeries and wears wigs outside XD

I love the new skin so much. It’s so cute 😭❤️ Thanks for the video Skiesti!

[@user-xl5lz9yf8e]

The hard light weapon skin reminds me of echo, or the ion bundle from Valorant.

[@Skiesti]

Yeah, it definitely reminds me of Echo but it's moreso connected to Vishkar, Symmetra, and Lifeweaver since it's hard light! overwatch.fandom.com/wiki/Hard-light

is it better to damage boost mauga when he’s low health to increase his healing or to yellow beam

I was talking to my friend about the Jingle Belle mercy skin about a month ago and I said, “I will throw shit if this doesn’t become a skin” because I found the original art it came from. Turns out I won’t be throwing shit now, but I am still iffy about her hair color lol. Its just such a weird yellow.

I hope it comes out like just near christmas, bc I wont have money till then.
