Moira Guide | The Best Comprehensive Guide To Moira

[@PAZswagger]

If you guys have any questions, leave them below or join the discord in the description! I know that Moira can be considered "boring" by a lot of the player base, but when you REALLY learn her kit, I find that she can be rather enjoyable. So, good luck, and happy healing!

[@rageaxis9777]

Content isn't bad, bit sick of the subscription begging though. Disliked purely due to that fact.

[@PAZswagger]

@@rageaxis9777 This is like the 2nd Vid LOL, but alright man, noted

[@NataSplays]

What was up with the ult at around 1:50 you ran of a supp and dps too shoot it at a wall.

[@PAZswagger]

@@NataSplays I forced transcendence and that was what I was looking to do in this clip. From that point forward, I was looking for any stragglers that may have been out of position, further rotating to a safer position. Do keep in mind that this is QP too, and I don't want to leak any past scrim footage or throw a game of ranked by forcing Moira.

[@carsonbell9250]

Can you make a lucio guide, I'm in mid plat and want to hit diamond

[@knitterfreiyoutube]

A lot of teammates don't understand that Moira has to charge herself with damage in order to heal a lot. It is not uncommon for them to take away the damage Moira needs

[@chumlee9562]

Healing orb spam, your teams dps obviously is strong enough

[@SprinkleChan_]

yes i love playing moira and that’s my pet peeve with people who don’t know how she works

[@lilLemonUwU]

Yaaaa, the times people are like "stop going for damage!" And I just 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

[@SomberP]

Yeah I run into this a lot when my full team comes back needing heal and I’m sure whenever I run away with half of them unhealed they’re like wtf. I just kinda hope that they understand the character enough to get what happened Moiras damage heal should be 50/50 tho.

[@eriatarka1983]

RIGHT?!?!?! I love getting raged at for "not healing" by players who have never played her and don't understand that biotic energy has to recharge.

[@trevian1227]

10:12 Something that I have turned on for me are captions for important call outs. The captions call out a Sombra coming out of invisibility, allowing you to anticipate an EMP better and fade if the Sombra decloaks just before the EMP.

[@PAZswagger]

This is true and I know it helps a lot of people. I forgot about this tbh. I personally don’t use it because I find it distracting.

[@naseb79]

Probably my favorite part of Moira’s kit is her fade, I probably overuse it because I mainly use it to reposition more than escapability. I really hated her ultimate nerf really unnecessary nerf because she has no other utility for her team other than healing and damage, nerfing her ult was a nerf to her entirety of her utility.

[@PAZswagger]

The new fade height is pretty fun tho ngl…

[@NUSORCA]

I’m a 300h Moira main. Here are some tips when playing attack at hybrid or escort map, right before the door opens throw a healing orb onto the ground next to the door. It will do you good. Don’t hesitate to throw healing orb, always prioritize the healing one. If you can throw healing orb, then spray as less as possible. Don’t fade into enemy. Only fade to escape. DO NOT HAVE BOTH YOUR ABILITIES ON COOL DOWN WHEN YOU SUCK AN ENEMY. Only throw healing orb when you suck an enemy unless you are sure they will die suck phara and echo...

[@kasperengevik2937]

Sheeeesh

[@tylercole9539]

I always use her almost as a supportive DPS I guess is the way to put it? I use my dabs to sneak behind enemies, throw healing orb and suck. Dash if they see me, dash back, repeat. This strat works sooooooo well with a damage orb and ult…imo easiest way to get a squad wipe in the game

[@chumlee9562]

i fade behind enemies and throw a healing orb thro them sometimes

[@douglasn167]

Don’t fade into the enemy? Moira is supposed to pick off the the back line. Also, it is very common to fade into the back line + orb + ultimate. I strongly disagree with this tip in particular

[@tylercole9539]

@@douglasn167 I love how this thread is the opposite of the original tip😂

[@amberr7473]

my favourite thing about moira as a 200+h main is her mobility. and the benefits that come to her mobility. she can fade out of a grav, sigma ult, ash grenade fire, echo’s sticky bombs being stuck to you, tracers pulse bomb, orisas suck. the only thing she can’t really fade out of is a junkrat trap.

[@thanus6636]

I would absolutely LOVE to see a guide on different spots for fade jumping! Edit: This video is something I’d expect of someone with 1,000,000 subscribers. Keep up the great work, you’ve earned my sub!

[@BlondeMcGuinn]

4:43 This is a great point. If I’m fighting Genji or a low HP target, I never tap. If my tank’s in front of me fighting the opposing tank, I tap because I’m not going to secure a kill and tapping allows me to keep my team topped off. Great guide! I made an OverWatch playlist with great character guides and this one is in. Thank you for your work and Big Ups!

[@sumanuel]

I think this guide is amazing and teaches a lot of information in a clear manner in such a little amount of time. Plus: I loved the way you suggested to doing the calls to the team, without any toxicity intended. Subbed!

[@nightscribenyx]

Thank you for this, I love finding modern guides for Overwatch as most are 2-3 years old :P

[@theiromia2389]

even this one is outdated, moira has hops in game now.

[@spacecatet1754]

Just started OW2 a couple weeks ago and this guide gave some good tips I had no idea about. Good vid!

[@PAZswagger]

Glad to help!

[@TheFreakyVibes]

by far the best thing ive learnt as moira is using fade to hide, alot of times when I need to escape but im too far in to the enemy i will use fade to hide behind an item or a corner in the map. Most people give up on looking for you because they dont see what direction you went, also they have to invest in time to look for you if they do and if theres alot of corners where you are then you can actually distract them for quite a while...

[@physconic3843]

I love moira I always play aggressive to get some early picks then fade away to heal teammates or I will fade away to a cover and send a healing orb to give some support after yoink some kills who are low in hp... and Moira is so good against movement players as you have to just trace around it, Great vid !!!

[@mike5523]

Nice guide! I’m a mercy main that’s trying new characters. So far I’m really enjoying lucio and zenyata. However I would love to learn to get good with Baptiste and Moira

[@PAZswagger]

Practice makes perfect and don't get discouraged!

[@kareemsalem6487]

I accidentally came across your channel ,and I want to say you're extremely underrated. Thanks for all the grear guides you've provided!!

[@PAZswagger]

Thanks! I am glad I could provide some value to you :D

[@BodhiSattvaTTV]

Seems like you only touched on Lucio here, so maybe an interaction/synergy video that goes into how she works with other support heroes as well. Like a Mercy to boost/heal dps making Moira more tank based. Anyway keep up the work mate, the coaching sounds like a great deal.

[@JasperShoes]

Because Lucio is by far the best support that one would play with Moira

[@JasperShoes]

But indeed it’d be nice to hear about other supports

[@tanner8315]

You deserve all the subscribes!! Thanks for your work and effort in these videos. ❤️❤️

[@deawinter]

I actually had a teammate APOLOGIZE TO ME the other day when they yelled at me in a comp match bc I was always throwing damage orbs, only to see at the end I had 25k healing. 🙄

[@Archivist_of_Stupendous_Wave]

Idk the whole “If you aren’t focusing (blank) you are throwing” thing really put me off. Importance or not, that’s kinda toxic and creates a stressful environment within the team in a situation (comp) that is already stressful enough. There are other ways to inculcate inportance than to attack your teammates. I understand the urgency behind the expression but it could potentially cause them to ACTUALLY throw, get you cussed out or, they might compromise their position to focus your target which could get them killed. Either way, they’re now on tilt and it would be because of a bad choice of words for a callout.

[@Climate_FPS]

Great Video! I would love a fade jump guide.

[@zc8673]

I feel like saying "if you're not on ____, you're throwing" is a great way to make your teammates hate you immediately. People can be so salty. Thank you for all the Moira tips tho!

[@godofm3tal1]

I'm not a huge fan of her character design but she is by far my favorite support. No other support can change tempo so seamlessly and go from full on burst aoe healing to full on aoe damage in seconds as the fight needs it. Any other support with "utility" can only get value out of that utility in niche situations like ult cancellations and specific push windows. Her entire it is on full bore from start to finish. That's valuable

[@discord_kitten4619]

I have played ow2 for 2 weeks and I love playing Moira, i learned the what I call "fade jump" while playing boss raid pve and I have perfected my timing to increase the momentum and distance you get out of this, also this video is very helpful so thanks alot I am definitely a subscriber now ^^

[@discord_kitten4619]

At 10:50 I don't mean this fade jump mean jumping before fade ends

[@discord_kitten4619]

Also you can just fade and jump standing still but I'll use it

[@lumiya4596]

I only ever chose to "main" Moira because her voice actor was the current Mon Mothma actot in today's Star Wars. But then I really loved the hero's kit as I kept spamming her in games. 3 ways to heal, 3 ways to deal damage, and an escape. Perfect kit for me.

[@PAZswagger]

She is super fun, I can't lie

[@landkevin28]

Only started a few days ago and have been hard maining Moira on support. My first few games I was a bit too aggressive with trying to deal damage but I've slowly been learning to stay behind the front lines and to give as much a healing as I possibly can. I think I've got a fairly decent handle on it but still learning the nuances of using the fades and such. As far as problems, I definitely have had issues with Tracers/Widows focusing me as well as just a couple teammates complaining that I havent been healing them as a Tracer/Wrecking Ball. but the latter part is a smaller issue.....unless someone has a tip for me there. My placement/timing of healing orbs should prolly require some attention too. I've also sometimes used fade much to often as an evasion tactic that it has led to me being lamely taken out as I'm strolling away All a part of the learning curve though and this video definitely helps :]

[@PAZswagger]

Keep at it! If you've only just started, there is nowhere to go but up!

[@landkevin28]

@@PAZswagger Appreciate it. Would you have any tips on how to maybe deal with Widow/ Tracer? I get for Widow that it's more about being aware of the open space and constantly moving but Tracer has always been a problem with the obvious mobility discrepancy For the healing, I'll just continue to do the best I can for rotating

[@jackodonnell9685]

@@ZeroGravitas Here's the thing, are they all practical? No. But in ladder, if he is pulling that stuff off, flanks, and gets a pick, it does get value. I think it is impressive nonetheless.

[@PAZswagger]

With Moira, exist. What I will tell you is that this game is all about outsmarting, especially as this character, so if you aren't willing to learn, you are going to struggle. Moira doesn't need aim, so how do you win? Learn how all of her interactions work. Good luck! Godspeed.

Came from Reddit. Thank you. The mouse scroll wheel tip is an interesting one. Do you still use left and right click as well?

[@PAZswagger]

@Paz 3:34 I would put an annotation here that this has been significantly toned down recently and is more akin to Zarya's cannon in terms of forgiveness.

[@knitterfreiyoutube]

I noticed you weren't hopping with Moira. My Moira always bounces, no matter what she's doing. That makes it harder to hit her on her hitbox. That's why I'm never afraid to approach a WIdowmaker or Hanzo directly and I always win.

[@hamzah49]

what does hopping mean

[@themostdiabolicalhater5986]

@@hamzah49 jumping lmao

[@bobatea5695]

actually hopping and jumping is more predictable than strafing/crouch strafing. when you jump you follow an extremely predictable and lateral path; up, and the down. but with strafing its less predictable because you can go left, right, right, left, right, left, left etc. i find it easier to oneshot a moira on widow/hanzo if i just follow her jump patterns
