Overwatch: The COMPLETE Lucio Mastery Guide

[@YourOverwatch]

Probably our most in depth guide ever, freedo takes you through every part of lucios kit and how to get the most out of it! Let us know what you think and let us know what other heroes you would like us to cover! P.S This video took months to record / make so i really hope it helps XD

[@whoknows1403]

I also play on console (PS4) and wall riding isn't the easiest thing to do for me with a remote. I'm sure if my computer was up to standard I could use my mouse with ease, but I can't do it very well on console. Loved the long video.

[@CBDhotdog]

Lucio is overwatch’s Best Boy

[@BaldGoose]

Ok Ok Ok. Just ABSOLUTELY YES!! You hit on so many solid super important points and misconceptions in this video, but I think that one other very important somewhat small thing that you should have really discussed a little more in depth like momentum control, good wall riding paths, and the power of switching from speed and heals. 1) Momentum control What I have found in my time playing Lucio is that momentum can change very quickly with Lucio and controlling it helps with evasion and traversal to get exactly where you want to be when you want to be there. To start, amping speed gives you a huge boost when you use it then hit and jump off a wall. You can keep that boost for as long as you can control midair movement. You can control yourself in the air by switching from speed and heals to control how far you go when you fly off a wall and using the jump to point you in the right direction. Also, you don't really want to hit a wall that will make you just faceplant (i.e. just heading straight for the wall like a hero) because it will take away you speed if you'er trying to keep it. 2) Good wall riding paths This is one of those things that you discover just by loading up a costume game and riding to your hearts content. I mostly just like to find paths from the spawn doors to wherever the enemy most likely is holding. This is like on Gibraltar from the Attacker's spawn you can go to the top right and ride the wall by bouncing along to the high ground where the defense usually is and boop them off for a saucy set up to a bum rush. Most people don't expect it, and some don't even see you at all. 3) Switching from speed and heals I have noticed that many Lucio players stay on heals a lot more than they should or are giving to much speed when they shouldn't. The when, where, and hows depend very much on how much damage is coming in (Like how Freedo talked about sound barrier use in a Grav). You have to know what would be most help full at the moment. This is like amping on speed to fly off a wall but then quickly changing to heals while in the air to give a team mate you'er trying to get to the healing they need. Well that's that. Man if only I put this much effort into my school work. OK so I am NOT the "Best" Lucio main out there so this is only what I have experienced. I am totally open to the idea that I am missing some things here, but I do really think that these are pretty important and have helped developed my Lucio skills. Great! Thanks for reading. I am going to go do something maybe. Bye...

[@thecanadiandefender1451]

LUCIO MAIN love it. Also, console players should really consider binding jump to LT/L2. Makes jumping a lot easier, and LB/L1 isn't as comfortable. Also I haven't seen anyone mention B-hopping. Keep hopping as soon you land to keep momentum after speed amping. You can even speed amp, jump, switch to heals mid-air, keep amped momentum, *while* also giving you and your team amped heals!

[@jari2018]

As trying to learn Lucio but i cannot since my ping is 40 and higher and he becomes useless trying turn on corners -the old lucio was better in every respect.

[@garlictequila4366]

Do you think i should have hold to crossfade turned on on pc

[@Weekndgroupie]

Jari Haukilahti honestly, I don’t know what you mean by old lucio. He got a MASSIVE speed buff on walls, and got s lot more damage. It was simply changed for range, if that’s what you mean by old lucio, and honestly that lucio was stupid. He had really big range so he really didn’t take that much skill. His new healing buff also makes it so lucio takes much more skill for a much higher reward. In my opinion if you like the old lucio more you are not a lucio main or suck at lucio

[@Tango12372]

Jari... I live in south Africa - thousands of miles from the European server... my ping has never been below 190 ... I main Lucio... perhaps I have gotten used to the effect... I have no problem... just keep practising...you'll get the hang of it.

[@lafreich]

Thanks for the tips. I started playing Lucio a few days ago and I already see some improvements since I focused on some of the points explained here.

[@simply42]

For anyone using a controller: I find it very helpful to bind jump to the left trigger (for ps4, L1 or L2, I play on Xbox so I’m not sure) and you can move your boop to whichever button you find most convenient (mine is on the right stick and my melee is on A, X for ps4). It will take some getting used to, but it is definitely worth it. Also, if you need to practice, look up Jamie Allegro’s wall riding fundamentals and practice that in a custom game. Start very simple and just practice. You will get better with time.

[@jerrysizzler44]

I use Xbox controller in pc matches. My wall rides suffer because I have to hold down A which means my thumb is occupied for my perspective camera. I'll try this reassign! PS I know I've given myself a huge handicap, but man it makes POTGs extra satisfying.. 😎

[@Edeian]

I actually mapped the Jump to L3. Gives me so much more control over the character as i basically just keep my fingers on the joysticks

[@rather46ixer74]

Thank you so much for this vid. Everything said here I've been saying for the longest and I appreciate one of the big official KZbin channels dedicated to Overwatch confirming it. As a 200 hr since season 3 comp Lucio main with both cute & pixel sprays (The Floor Is Lava trophy? Got it), it is so frustrating to see so many underestimate and dismiss Lucio as an overall character in comp. I hope more see this vid, as I'll also be sharing it with any who tweaks about a damn good Lucio main.

[@master_zeec]

I'm starting my Overwatch career, Lucio is one of the characters that got my attention, so this guide is actually very helpful, appreciated man. 10/10, keep it up!

[@DerWonga]

I think Lucio needs Nades that do 300 dmg and are also auto flying torwards your target. And he should get 2 mines, that do 250 dmg and he should get a jet pack and a 900 hp shield with 3 second cd. That's the hero design Blizzard likes! :)

[@archologyzero]

He needs to have a gun with 30 rounds, where each round shoots out a ULTING primal rage winston that last 2 minutes each.

[@lemonzom4045]

I love this change !!!

[@pbbandit4324]

Or they could nerf his speed again or his boop because they're special utility in the game that only he has. Then he can only use speed every thirty seconds or maybe twice when he ults but then he can fly. Cuz.. flying I guess. That's the design Blizzard likes for their healers. I think I've never liked Lucio as much as Mercy because I always end up solo-healing and it's really hard to learn him as a solo healer.

[@pepsipwns666]

This! Can't tell you how much similar chats have happened between me (lucio main) and my friend (mercy main). Mercy only unique-ness just been nerfed and ripped the fuck off her. Res is sooo nerfed and her ult is great and all and it definitely can sway fights but like... no-one even sees it happen.

[@BananaSannaa]

Lucio should have bastions gun but instead of shorting normal bullets it shoots Anna’s sleep darts

[@vexingninja5424]

This is good stuff. I recently got back into Overwatch and played Lucio for the first time in a year. I undervalued his support role in a group until this past week. I've relearned how to play him and he is easily my favorite. Once you learn his role, he is a very good addition to the team.

[@hyperbolic3259]

You know what I hate about this video? That mercy mains will still ignore all of this and say mercy takes more skill.

[@lyssariggs8323]

[@Menoris]

Thanks for the video, i think this is probably the best video you guys ever made, I really like it! I'd love to see more videos like that expecially for support characters because i think it can help ppl to understand that supports in overwatch are important to be played right and not just some random stuff you can pick when you don't know the game. Supports are just too underappreciated :/ One thing i like to do when playing Lucio, especially in a 1 v 1 situation is: put a boop right in the middle of the fight to throw the enemies aim off. This can really help a lot and get some valuable seconds of not taking dmg

[@Magnumwithtactical]

@youroverwatch Lucio has been changed a lot ... can you guys do an updated lucio guide?

[@ivanewing]

I currently have over 200 hours as Lucio and I got to say this is a great guide. Personally I didn't learn a lot, but that's because I watch every video like this and tons of pro play. But, you put all the great info into one video for people, which you did a fantastic job on. You have inspired me to start playing a ton of death match as Lucio as I am already so good at getting kills as Lucio. Thank you for continuing to make great content.

[@SuperKnight263]

Caleb Cundiff I use L2/LT for my lucio or phara so I can focus on aiming more

[@calebcundiff1057]

Andrew D. Isn’t L2 boop on lucio?

[@SuperKnight263]

Caleb Cundiff not if you change it xD

[@calebcundiff1057]

Andrew D. What did you change it too? I personally find it easier to aim with left stick, because I’m already using it to move. Everybody is different though.

[@SuperKnight263]

Caleb Cundiff just swapped boop and jump

[@deadbeet906]

Really great video! I've been paying less attention to these Lucio skills and was wondering why I deranked lol. Great reminder of the insane potential Lucio has when you practice these techniques and learn to fully utilize his kit!

[@stormcrow1675]

So overall, I think this is a great guide for new lucio players. But there's a few things you left out or didn't specify enough, at least in my opinion. 1st. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT USE AMP IT UP TO GET BACK TO POINT FASTER. You should be relying on your ability to build momentum whilst wallriding to get to back to point, having that amp is valuable and could change the course of a game. 2nd. Practice your wallriding a lot. As much as possible. Wallriding has to be one of the most underused awesome abilities in overwatch. It lets you get out of harms way very quickly, also helping you to pull off some of those crazy 1v1s. You should use the wallride to deal damage while staying out of harms way whenever possible. You don't have to be right next to a Winston to heal him, we got AOE boys. Stay on the walls where it's safe, healing and shooting without putting yourself in harms way. The training area is a great place to practice wallriding, I strongly recommend just hopping on Lucio and practicing until it becomes second nature to wallride all the time. 3rd. You really shouldn't have your controls as the defaults if you play lucio often, they just aren't practical for the kit. A great start is DSPstanky's button layout, it's optimized to the playstyle of lucio. Crouch should be a button easily available to use, it makes you all the more slippery for those Mcree 1v1s. I recommend binding it to the scroll wheel of your mouse, it allows you to just scroll and give you the fast crouch you need. And having your jump set to space bar really won't allow you to get to a high level of lucio movement. Again, hop into the training area and mess around with controls until you find something that feels right. Overall great guide my man, I can tell you put a lot of though and consideration into making this guide, it'll help lots of players with this crazy high skill cap hero. Keep up the great work 👍

[@crispybacon4240]

You can't build momentum any more, it's just a flat speed now, no wall skimming or anything. Fuck Blizzard.

[@agent006nb]

Okay, you definitely CAN use amp to get back to point if there's a team fight occurring, especially if you're taxiing someone else. By the time you get back to point, your amp is close to halfway back. Having extra player or two is worth waiting a bit to amp.

[@ThaBeatConductor]

Um, i disagree about the space bar jump thing. I can wall ride like a nut and i just use space.

[@qrowii5077]

By far the best guide for Lucio. I appreciate the detail and your upload. Thank you!

[@seeyalaterstinky]

3 types of lucios All damage no heals: . Usually goes in for boops when he thinks it's right(aka every time) . Plays like dps and heals for himself . Can be godly at some points but usually crap if Lucio can't aim Boop god lucio: . Usually stays with team and heals . Cross fades at least 2 times a second . Boops when team fight engages and kills 3 to 6 people if allowed to live by enemy team . Can be good if evasive Wannabe Stanky: . Usually a mix of boop god and all damage no heals, sometimes more than the other . Can wallride where ever the hell he wants . Was a Lucio main before Lucio was a god

[@YourOverwatch]

You don't get precisely as much speed but wall-ride is still very good I'm not sure why some think it isn't. The most recent patch restored it. -F

[@crispybacon4240]

+Your Overwatch If you don't engage wall ride long enough you will not receive a boost at all. Try just tapping space when you touch a wall, you'll drop like a stone. There have been many times recently when I've tried to chain wall ride from a lamp post, tree or other small bit of geometry and fell far short of where I wanted to go. You also just can't get nearly as much speed now.

[@agent006nb]

It's worse for rollouts, but overall mobility on an objective is pretty close to the same.

[@ShiehJimmy]

Crispy Bacon you CAN receive the speed easily if you binds your jump to mouse wheel in the previous patch(it was a bug according to Blizzard). In the new patch you can get it whenever you jump off the wall.

[@ShiehJimmy]

Crispy Bacon another thing, if you want to get the speed consistently, tap the jump key three times instead of twice.

[@danparks8894]

As a DPS player, who flexes a fair bit, and who plays Lucio a lot more these days, I can vouch for how annoying it is if a Lucio stays on speed boost too much when in the middle of a team fight. Constantly flipping really effects your DPS’s aim. I’d prefer healing aura on more often and speed boost used when needed.

Thanks Freedo. I appreciate all of your hard work. It seems like a lot of people don't like you, but I think you're damn rad

[@Drewvids1]

MY SECRETS ARE REVEALED!! Noooo

[@theo90907]

Lucio is one of my mains, and I knew a lot of this, but there was actually some things I never thought about so thank you! :)

[@nesdiewei6590]

Dpstanky is the best

[@nesdiewei6590]

Unit Found no

[@PandaMester]

He quit

[@crob3545]

Mccree no he was never the best. Tobi was always thr best

[@EVILCARTMAN96]

Mccree was* he’s done with Overwatch. Odds are he won’t be back. There are more Lucio players than DSPStanky.

[@Kezsora]

Don't you mean Dspstanky?

[@davidpunk1]

Awesome Lucio guide, thank you so much! Can't wait to put all of this in practice.

[@killerbee2012]

Stanky > tobi

[@ZenthonBracus]

Killer Bee stanky is the most iconic and unique Lucio player but Tobi is definitely the best

[@TubemastaC]

lol. ok. yeah. definitely

[@ibraxiv-_-6653]

Zeke Berard just because he killed a blading genji? Genji deals 120 dps and Lucio can do 215 dps

[@ZenthonBracus]

Sleepy Cat because of his consistent play in games but that play is proof of his skill

[@maleik144]

IBRAHIM Likes overwatch because he’s a pro you dummy

[@Alex-mm6pw]

I have almost 300 hours on Lucio, and this guide is very good, the only thing I could say is an overall "learn how to read a battle/engagement" If you're losing, try to shuttle people out of the fight, tell them to get back, if you see a pick speed boost and try to push, learn which ults to counter with sound barrier and which ones to save your ult for. You don't have to have insane wallriding or aim skills to be an amazing Lucio player (although it would certainly be good to be well versed in these). Another good tip to mention is to make sure to pay attention to your allies before the enemies as Lucio because if you're too busy tunnel visioning on fragging out, you could be losing your allies to people in your backline. And technically everything I've said here can be applied to every other hero in the game, its just looking to apply each characters skillset to every battle.

[@Wren-birb]

1v2ed a dva and roadhog as lucio. I won 😂

[@citrusdear]

I've 1V1nd every character in the game and won except Brigitte

[@paliophysical4481]

Dude I did the same

[@bigmoiistt]

Awesome video, went incredibly in depth on every aspect of lucio :)

[@timoreiner380]

A Mastery Guide when Lucio just dropped out of meta. Feels bad man

[@BaoBao-tp7fl]

Timo Reiner Lucio is still meta

[@felwinterspeak5227]

Lucio will never be out of meta

[@coffeetext]

when Lúcio is anticipated to fall out of the meta.*

[@Kezsora]

Lucio can't drop out of Meta. The reason he is in there is because of his speed boost and ability to heal every teammate at once. No other character in the game can do that.

[@Xxh3lix2000xX]

Kezsora Apart from Zens ult, Ana's grenade, Mercy's new ult, Soldiers biotic field etc.

[@jacobandrews1994]

I love these guide videos. Definitely helpful. Keep up the good work

[@user-ed4kr9hk7j]

Wasted 26 min of my life, i knew everything. FeelsBadMan

[@Rurkgh]

+Champ Willy i feel you man, i think that Your overwatch videos are more aimed at people with no experience .

[@snusinhaleraren4848]

Champ Willy your Overwatch makes videos so more people are willing to play that role

[@imnotacat5299]

Same. I'm already a God Lucio. Everyone else is a noob.

[@t8ble498]

Aren’t you special

[@LeoOtsukare]

Just built my first PC and am getting back into OW after about a year from console and I’ve been feeling Lucio a lot since last night, which was my first time playing on my first PC. So thanks for this!

[@Kleemoor]

Lucio is dead. HAIL LUCIO!!

[@Gomizilla]

I've been a Lucio main for about a year and I have to say that while I had become very good just before the update, I got too comfortable after it and my duelling skills slowly degraded. I guess it has something to do with my getting too cocky with lowering my mouse sensitivity in-game. Your guide is awesome. I needed to review the basics.

[@paulbradshawguitar]

cool guide, might be useful in the wallride section to mention the following, or maybe i missed it -go to options - -controls -hero: Lucio - allow backwards wallride on really opens up a whole lot of extra movement options

[@aggrolife5569]

Your work in the Fall 2017 COMPLETE Lucio Mastery Guide video... is what made me want to be a Lucio. I freaking worship you man!

[@liljawz_og]

Relating his to the video that Liam made about Ana, Lucio and Ana are both difficult to play and get massive amounts of value out of. That’s one of the biggest reasons why mercy is the primary healer/support of the current meta because it’s easier to get value out of her since she’s easier to play mechanically. I appreciate the content that you and the rest of the crew of YourOverwatch creates and I’m personally gonna take some notes from this in order to amp my win rate and be a more flexible and skillful overwatch player

[@conork6743]

Fantastic guide! Do more that are this in depth!

[@itshouldbemeese]

Recently been enjoying a fair bit of Lucio, and now I have the tools to become a god among supports. Thank you Freedo!

[@orbital9367]

I have over 200 hours with Lucio and there wasn't a single inaccurate statement said about his kit, and I love how you pointed out his ammo clip because it's not something many people think about, I feel like it should be moved up to about 28 or 32

[@adryanmonk]

I like the fact that i already knew everything but the stair-trick :D A really good guide freedo !

[@christoflers]

Very informative video as usual, keep up the good work guys

[@J4NN333]

Great guide on my boy Lucio. Here's some of my "tips" Boop One great way to get value from boop is booping heroes like Genji, Tracer, Sombra and Winston in to a pit even if you know you won't kill them. By doing this you forced them to use their lifeline abilities just to avoid the pit. Genji has harder time to get a crazy blade since he had to waste dash. Or Dva can't go chasing your Ana down. Also you can force the enemy team to ignore one entrance (Nightmarket side entrance) just because there might be a Lucio waiting to boop non mobile heroes in to oblivion. As mentioned in the video boop can also be used to deny value out of ults. But it can also used to enhance the value gotten from a ult. You see enemy running behind the cart to avoid dva nuke? Just boop them out and maybe get few extra kills. Or a someone didn't get in to the grav? Boop them in. One thing not really mentioned in the video is knowing when NOT to boop. You can easily save an enemy unintentionally by booping them. Be it by booping them out of the harms way or booping them in to safety. Sound Barrier Now after the ult change Sound Barrier is one of the riskiest ult to use. Even the greatest Lucios are the most vulnerable when dropping the beat. Unless you have great speed boost from wallriding, dropping the beat makes you easier to hit than normal. Due to this using sound barrier to save your life is risky. In the video there is so much talk about pro Lucios, but there is no mention of the biggest pain in their ass that is Sombra and emp. Getting 6 player Sound Barrier and just to lose it in a instance to a emp is soul crushing.

[@donnymcivor903]

Excellent vid 👍 best lucio guide out there.

[@Vindr4Fell]

I've missed these amazing guides!!

[@tehfainted]

This video got me into playing lucio with more purpose and interest. good stuff friends. keep it up

[@sanjayadhith7107]

Waiting for this for a looong time m8. Nice to see it out :D

[@xdxfxzx]

Absolutely amazing video. Learned a lot thank you so much!

[@SelaMalka]

Hey dude, that's a really good guide, thank you very much for making the effort!!

[@Dragoneth]

It was really fun to hear Freedo repeatedly mention how important Wall Riding was in this video, considering how adamantly he refuted the ability's importance in the last guide.
