I've been playing as Winston more recently. He's very disruptive, and can act as a counter to Reinhardt because his Tesla Cannon ignores Reinhardt's barrier.
I believe it ignores an enemy Winston's barrier as well, all though I can't remember that happening to me with certainty.
Does it penetrate Zarya's barriers?
Specifically,
- Will Zarya or one of her allies take damage from the Tesla Cannon even with an active barrier?
- Will Zarya's energy level increase when one of her barriers is hit by a Tesla Cannon?
Best Answer
No, it does not. Zarya's barriers will stop any damage, as well as a multitude of negative effects such as being slowed by Mei's ice and Zenyatta's Orb of Discord. This is also confirmed by the very wiki you linked:
So yes, Zarya can charge up off a Winston's Tesla Cannon.
