Overwatch – How Mercy’s Ultimate Charges Quickly

overwatch

As Mercy, I'm having more trouble than most getting multiple revives up in one life, mainly because I don't think I'm charging ult as effectively as I could be. What factors determine how quickly Mercy's ult charges?

Best Answer

Mercy charges her ultimate in the following way:

Passively charges 1% per 2 seconds
1% per 10 damage done with pistol or melee
1% per 12.5 damage healed (self-inflicted damage such as S:76's or Pharah's rockets do not charge your ult)
1% per 15 damage done by amped ally (Mercy's damage-boosting blue beam)

The fastest way to charge your ult, therefore, is to avoid sticking to one ally unless they're dealing consistent damage. As soon as someone is topped off, either find another ally or begin damage-boosting.

I've found the following sheet here which seems to have a lot of the information you are looking for. This lists the metered amounts per damage/healing and passive over time.

It's an offshoot of the main sheet here. I've posted the table below in case the page goes off line.

Overwatch – Most Effective Strategies for Symmetra Turret Placement

Turrets: these seem pretty strait forward but can actually be used in a variety of ways. Obviously the most strait forward is to cover choke points. This is extremely effective IF you can place them in such a way, that is inconvenient for the enemy to have to destroy. For example, if you place turrets above the enemy, on to your side of the wall, when they walk through they are forced to look up to shoot it. They are using that time to look up to shoot the turret and not your team. That's a minor victory in my book. How I like to use the turrets however is a bit different, and I'll tell you why. Symmetra gets notifications when her turrets are attacking, or when they get destroyed. I generally place 3 at the choke point if I'm defending, and I'll place the remaining three around the area where sneak attacks are common. This allows me to spot the attack well ahead of time and warn my team mates. Do not under estimate this, it's extremely useful. Also they slow, so there is that. I should also note that the turrets can be placed ON payloads, so when attacking you get mobile turrets, which can be nice. (I don't cover turret placement itself very well here, that's a topic in and of itself. however there are good tips from other commenters below)
