Mercy Movement Guide in Overwatch 2

[@HolyShiftKid]

Put control on a mouse button for the best success!

[@raymachii]

If im playing controler whats your advice on what i shoild bind crouch to without it messing up my other basic controls?

[@charliealvarado401]

agreed mmo mouse with mercy ftw!

[@StaleCookies]

Hi! Am I missing something or are you locked into the height dictated by the bar at the point you activate super jump? sometimes I want to close a long distance to my GA target but not do a huge SJ. I would have thought momentum upward would apply according to the length of time you hold crouch but no such nuance. ps love your content! xx

[@shanedawsonlover99]

220 hours on Mercy alone prior to OW2, and I wasn’t sure about her new movement either but the more I play, the more I’m learning, the more I liked it even more!!

[@HolyShiftKid]

The new movement is goood

[@-NoNo.]

The movement is the pinnacle of her design. I’m obsessed with it. The rest of her kit however🤭🤭 we won’t talk about it

[@HolyShiftKid]

You’re an icon LOL I love seeing you in the comments and chat

[@-NoNo.]

Ate💅🏼

[@strangeplum8563]

I think they should make her revive a little faster

[@fili0938]

She has the best healing in the game and revives. She can definitely put in a good shift

[@-NoNo.]

@@fili0938 the delusion in this comment is insane

[@Neytiri94]

This really helped me, I’m new to mercy and the game in general and my movement was just… dog water 😂 but now I can yeet around and stay out of enemy shots and keep my team boosted/alive. Thank you!

[@HolyShiftKid]

Yess!

[@PawsR_us]

Wait what omg! I have been playing her the wrong way? I never knew about these super jumps etc I was just playing her naturally! This is so helpful so I can die much less often tysm! This is defntily a video that I’ll replay few times to absorb all the info!

[@HolyShiftKid]

Hope you climbbb

[@cosmicseaa1119]

I have like 500 hours on mercy and I'm a day one main from back in the day.. my thoughts are I absolutely love the new movement. She feels way way more fluid and viable now with the movement changes and maybe I won't get forced off of her at higher ranks because everyone hated her at my elo before. Future is bright for our favorite nurse

[@HolyShiftKid]

I’m hoping. I do like the movement though

[@shadowxFFx]

Touch grass 😊

[@rhythm-peko9408]

Do you think she’s a good support? I’m a mercy support too but I’ve been discouraged a bit with how the community feels she’s useless

[@kahssie]

@@rhythm-peko9408 as with all things, mastery (and a little bit of rank) does matter more. I would prefer an undying mercy who knows how to keep everyone alive at all times to forcing the player into lucio or moira who are not comfortable/familiar with. In higher ranks of course it gets harder (DPS/tanks have better awareness and might jump you more frequently, w more precision), but thats where gamesense and positioning take hold. Bottom line is, if youre good at her, why not? Even doomfist is horrifying to.play against in the right hands

[@cosmicseaa1119]

@@shadowxFFx you went out of your way to insult someone having a discussion on a comment thread. Consider retiring from being a sh*tty pot and quit calling the kettle black loser

[@mssecret]

Thank you for this! Before I had no clue how to use her (especially since I’m so used to her ow1 movement. This helps so much! I never even saw the bar until you pointed it out

[@mercyvector]

Hey man, I've seen a couple of your vids around and I'm super glad I found your channel. I started to main mercy because of you and god damn is she a blast. Keep up the sick work mate, keen to see more of your stuff!

[@bitofaworry]

Great video! I main Mercy and am loving the ability to remain airborne much of the time. That verticality has increased access to cover - I picked up the Huge Rez trophy within half a dozen OW2 games and have bettered it since. In higher ranks you're probably getting targeted more often though. Usually just die to Sojourn now. Oh Sojourn...

[@HolyShiftKid]

Sojourn….. nice job though!!

[@RoyVaassen]

When reverse slingshotting; if you look down, while pressing back (default s), you'll actually move back and up and thus reverse the of the angle you're looking at. This can be used to jump back onto highgrounds.

[@asrock2577]

or just crouch-jump while holding s. Same height and backwards movement speed while keeping your allies on screen

[@JakobStrand]

Great guide! What´s the code for the workshop map you use in the video?

[@Ventafps]

I'm really curious to hear your thoughts as a prefer beam user with the new mechanics and fast pacing of OW2. It almost felt like prefer beam slowed me down because the GA away -> turning back around to attach beam -> continue original GA costed some precious time which is more noticeable in OW2. However I'm not the best with prefer beam so I wonder how other users feel. The main issue with the GA hybrid setting - the bug of not targeting a teammate - have been mostly fixed (at least in my experience). And if I happen to GA in a direction I didn't mean to I can quickly correct myself with the new tech.

[@HolyShiftKid]

I think it doesn’t take up a noticeably bad amount of time but I do really think facing prefers is really good too

[@angerskarin9222]

You can also go up by using guardian angel and pressing space when the bar got some charge and looking up.

[@MistarZtv]

Been playing her the last few weeks. I find her fun because even if I'm not Improving mechanically with my aim, I can at least improve my positioning, calls, and awareness all while having fun.

[@RaivenClaw]

This was actually nice, I'm I'm a returning player to this game so I just needed this to get my memory back. Good tip video

[@HolyShiftKid]

Thanks for watching!

[@danielparent9194]

Her mobility is the reason why i love her. The way she is right now still feel a little clunky in some situation but hey, she now has +5 ammo !..

[@user-bg1yh6kv1r]

Nice

[@buddhapest]

holy smokes, this is an amazing guide! I've played very little next because i could never figure out her movement. this is a game changer for me

[@jabescript]

As a beginner, this is really helpful!

[@HolyShiftKid]

Glad you think so!

[@adensmith6440]

I feel like her new movement is really hard to use on controller. I’ve tried it, but at least with my binds, it’s hard to control.

[@jackwebster454]

Having jump as left trigger helped me to use her movement abilities a lot easier on controller :)

[@elisagrossenbacher8106]

Really helpful. I can't wait to try these out. Thanks!

[@Strawhat-Kev]

I’ve been in competitive as a ground mercy definitely needed a movement guide

[@HolyShiftKid]

I’ve got youuu

[@Sunshine-yv6di]

1:48 please please make a full guide video on how to sj res. I used to do it in ow1 but I can no longer do it now I don't know how it works and I've been struggling really

[@HolyShiftKid]

I’ll see what I can do!

[@gilbertocastro8863]

Thank you I’m stuck between play 5 five and gold 2 with symm but all I ever wanted was to play mercy this helped

[@qwertykeyboard8563]

Dayum even Sojourn's voice actor is playing Mercy now lmaoo

[@Krems_]

On console I figured out her ga jump on my own and I didn’t know u could press crouch to fly straight up. I changed my setting to toggle ga and I would look straight down after ga’ing to an ally n then press backwards on my movement stick n jump. I feel like this method sends you flying farther but it’s definitely not that practical 😂

[@asrock2577]

It's exactly the same height as normal crouch ga jump, I just tested it

[@milotis219]

Thanks for the vid I want to get better with her and this was really helpful

[@HolyShiftKid]

Thanks for watching!!

[@Vap0rL0ve]

whats the workshop code?

[@SordMasta]

I've never played Mercy even from OW1. I tried her now. I find her movement keys seem a bit illogical. Doesn't come naturally to me to CROUCH in order to FLY/JUMP. Would have expected some special options in the hero settings like other heroes have, maybe to change it to JUMP. But sadly there isn't. I'm going to have to get used to CROUCHING in order to go UP !! Genius design.

[@divineavengers]

can you post the workshop code for that map?

[@Tylorgng.]

Oh hey you must be the mercy I run into every single game. Nice to meet you finally lol

[@bluelightnin4584]

im glad you are changing your mind because first time i say your video and started playing mercy i was in total disagreement, this new mercy is fun as hell

[@HolyShiftKid]

Fair enough LOL

[@2Elemnt]

I kind of wished it had something to stay at air without holding spacebar. It is too hard to press ctorl to go up.

[@AkumaVtuber]

I have a question. When you jump with mercy, you stay in the air for a certain time, but only fall down once u click the button again..is there an option where u can just turn it off??? What am I missing bc it’s really screwing me over in games.

[@matheusdillenburg1011]

Omg this whole time I have been trying to figure out what they did to superjump because I was so used to the crouch+GA and then jump so I literally could not figure it out. Now it’s just GA and crouch at the end 😂 less buttons to press

[@HolyShiftKid]

Hahahah you know nowww

[@alexsanderognev]

Can you share code for res jump training?

[@HolyShiftKid]

[@alexsanderognev]

@@HolyShiftKid much obliged

[@brianburchfield6987]

I'm struggling to find a good controller set up for playstation. Switching from crouch to jump to maintain altitude has been problematic. I sort of miss "jump" being the button for super jump versus crouch.

[@EliTheGleason]

I picked up mercy like 2 days ago she's so fun, what do you think she needs to stay competitive in ow2? A burst heal, or just better beam heal? Basekit chain heal? Shotgun?

[@HolyShiftKid]

I dont know tbh Rez feels to slow to really do much in terms of carrying but maybe she needs something faster

[@moonspace1997]

A shotgun would be nice XD

[@kriswarren2024]

What’s space bar on controller. Can’t believe he didn’t even think to explain that

[@_thisaintglEn]

Thank you 1000x. I got tired of seeing the other teams Mercy flying and I’m sitting there scratching my head thinking “I’m Mercy too so why the F can’t I fly?” Am I going to play better? Probably not but at least I can fly.

[@pabloyak7070]

haha i love the moonview highway music

[@CubbyTech]

I'm terrible with crouch - it's so far to reach! I'll try the settings you describe, thanks!

[@AppleAbbles]

1:46 what does E do, I play on switch and the controls are different for me

[@TheMurcielago]

Resurrection

[@victormunhozzz]

Fun things I like about the backwards slingshot is that you go back the same distance, if not further than your origin when you bounce. Great for keeping your beam on a diving teammate who is slipping in and out of your range, while keeping your position away from the line of fire. Everything else about her kit? Trash. Revert Mercy.

[@armorbearer9702]

This is why I can't kill enemy Mrecys. They move around and regenerate like crazy.

[@alliekerli]

[@qweq1594]

i never knew about the croutch jump

[@mayuwu4408]

Could you explain why toggle guardian angel should be off? I didn't know that was an option and have played with it on for years and have been fine, so my muscle memory is crying lmao- also cant you just cancel ga with a quick jump+backwards input midway through to jump backwards? I'm probably missing something which is why I wanted to ask. (I'm on console and like prefer facing target if that changes anything)

[@HolyShiftKid]

Easier to cancel GA. Can just let go over the button rather than pressing it again. More control

[@serthiag7373]

Bro im just hardstuck in a mercy parkour level hod do you go up down and then up again 💀

[@_BadSh0t]

So i'm not a very good OW2 player. What do you do / how would you deal with a sombra/genji/reaper diving you in the back line?

[@HolyShiftKid]

Fly away. Stay around walls

[@tonisama1251]

Basically, I use little finger for Shift and Ctrl so I recommend for those who do the same as me not to "turn off toggle GA"

[@HolyShiftKid]

Why? It’s easier to cancel GA by just letting go of the button rather than pressing the button again

[@HolyShiftKid]

If you’re worried for not being able to super jump put the control button or crouch to your right hand. Just the opposite to the GA button hand so it’s easier

[@tonisama1251]

@@HolyShiftKid idk, perhaps I get used to do the default.

[@MattGoesSplat]

This was great - thanks!

[@HolyShiftKid]

Thank youuu

[@aron-jt2es]

I can't help but feel I'm getting stuck in Angelic Descent after a super jump...I swear in OW1 I could dive towards the ground, or at least just let gravity affect me. Also can't figure out how to chain GA's together and stay in the air, doesn't seem to work for me.

[@pennym1056]

Turn off toggle crouch, it’s slowing you down Also, to stay in the air tap GA then tap Crouch (after turning off toggle crouch)

[@HolyShiftKid]

Hm keep practicing

A mouse button if you can. Something with the opposite hand that you use your ga for

[@BananAs375]

Guardian angel, it’s her ability she uses to fly toward allies

[@MorrisKytos]

@thegreencreeper2907 oh my goodness, of course! 😮‍💨 Ugh, thank you for your clarification. Okay, it has a better context for my understanding now. Still, I'm struggling to get the basics down. 😔

[@littleguppy5417]

I feel like mercy is fine the way she is, if her rez was any faster it wouldnt feel balanced, a good rez can turn an entire teamfight around. Hell I do some risky rezzes and proceeded to come back from a definate loss because rezzing the right person at the right time is huge. It woulds be very frustrating to play against Mercy if she could rez faster since she has such good mobility. I carry many games as mercy doubling the healing of the enemy moiras and Baptiste while also power boosting. She's a great character and can teach you proper positioning, trust me when I say that the enemy team WILL pick every counter they can if they notice how well you can keep teammates alive as long as you know what you're doing. :D A good Mei wall can also prob guarantee a rez too. I love Mercy and I'll prob continue to be a OTP on her :)

[@HolyShiftKid]

Mercy probably just isn’t in the meta and that’s why she’s kinda bad

[@rhythm-peko9408]

Thanks actually. I felt really discouraged to play her because so many people kept calling her shit. Even as a Mercy main myself, I felt a bit discouraged. But your comment helped spark that love for mercy once more. Thanks :)
