I know it took a while but it's finally here! I hope it covers everything you were looking for. Remember that you can ask questions here for Andriatic and make sure to check them out too! youtube.com/@Andriatic
thank you for giving console players an outlet to learn about their input (instead of being biased towards pc only) i appreciate all the tips and content you've given us skiesti ❤
I don't have any experience with console unfortunately but I do try to make my guides as general as possible and I'm very grateful for Andriatic's help in being able to include a guide specifically for console Mercy's :>
the fact that skiesti even has a guide for console players is astronomical. I'm no console player myself but thanks for the guide nonetheless. I have mercy main friends, and I always direct them to your videos, and honestly sometimes when I just don't feel playing other supports, you make me wanna play mercy as well
Exactly why I'm here now. I have 0 tech skill when it comes to mercy and I want to actually provide something for my team instead of just being a Moria one trick that swaps to Lucio when I see Winton or rein.
thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to make this!! we console mercy's appreciate it so much lol. im glad to say that i have most of these tips down already. my only consistent dilemma is deciding whether i want to hold my beam buttons down to make them easier to control, or continue to let my fingers rest but maybe i have to flick my camera to click another target lmao. also, thanks for the sensitivity settings breakdown, i had always wondered how those might effect mercy. THANK YOU AGAIN! 💜
I think the parts where you described movements with a visual and outside of a game were the most helpful as the gameplay can be a bit distracting (although it’s badass) :) Ty for the awesome vid!
From a mercy that plays on Xbox a way to get around the awkward binds is to change your grip. I personally use the default binds and keep my thumbs on the sticks while using my pointer finger to press jump and croutch while using my middle and ring finger to heal/damage boost.
been a fan for a while and i’m a long time console player so i’m sooo happy to see this!! especially having it being a collab between two wonderful creators this is like a dream come true 😭❤
I don't know how many more videos I'll be making specifically for console but I'm glad I could make this one for y'all and I'm going to continue to make my guides as friendly to both console and PC as much as I can 💛
I tried these new settings on switch and they made a HUGE difference! Already my movement is so much better and enemies have much harder time killing me. I can easily fly from teammate to another, also I noticed that my map awareness is significantly better than before.
I can’t thank you both enough for this guide!! i’ve been struggling with movement SO much and didn’t want to mess with my binds without having any knowledge about it. i’m so excited to try this out.
The sensitivity is definitely going to take a long time to get used to, especially since I play other heroes as well, but I believe it is going to improve my aim overall
Great video thank you for looking out for the console players Skiesti. Note to Andriatic always talk don't just write stuff down this is UA-cam lol, we don't come here to read 😂. But Andriatic did a great job I subscribed 👏
as a console Mercy main i loved this video! it's so informative and interesting! i do have my beams on the triggers and on toggle, easier on the fingers for me, and i've gotten used to having my crouch on toggle B. that way i don't have to hold down LT to stay floating ( i tried it and my left finger was getting sore holding it down lol ), i just tap B and i stay in the air and when i want to come down i tap it again and to do a little jump in the air i double tap it. for switching weapons i actually have that on left stick, easier to just press it down to get to my gun quickly for me but other than that, my bindings are pretty much the same. GA on LB, Rez on RB, jump on A, Quick Melee on R stick down. i was thinking about getting a pro-controller so i could have those paddles but man those things are expensive lol.
This is a such a helpful guide the only thing I’d say is for ps5 players coz of the adaptive triggers I recommend having jump on L1 and GA on L2 trust me your fingers will thank me later 😂
Great video! I'm really enjoying these settings on the practice range rn. Before I had GA bound to RS with jump on LB and crouch on LS. Gonna take some time to get used to these changes but I think this control scheme is vastly superior.
I don't understand why anybody playing console WOULDN'T have the highest sensitivity on any game. You may start out bad but that's the same for any game but if it's always at the highest sensitivity, you will have the potential to play the best you can. Lower sensitivity lowers your overall gameplay potential on console
As someone who plays on consoles I saw mercy flying all over the map and I was flabbergasted. I didn't know how to play her to be so mobile. Thanks for video
I personally would like a more in-depth explanation for the exponential ramping choice over linear sens wise i use virtually the same thing except its linear insted of exponential
So to my understanding this is true! However so for Expo it scales up exponentially so it does start out slower kinda like Dual zone but it’s not a set separation in sensitivity even if you barely move your joystick, the speed with increase as long as it’s held until a max point. For linear this whole concept doesn’t exist the Sens will be max the entire time, even if you only move the joystick by a hair. This makes tracking with linear ramp pretty difficult but it’s good for flicking and stuff. It also makes the joystick feel a lot more sensitive. I personally don’t like Linear (in part that I’ve used Expo ramp for like 5 years now) but that’s all preference I’d def mess around with those and see what you like the most.
i didn’t see anyone comment this question.. so i wanted to ask. i noticed in the video that andriatic was practicing the sj rez.. is there a code for it???? i’d love to practice
As a Mercy man on Xbox, I highly suggest investing into the elite controller. The amount of buttons you have to press to properly perform the maneuvers. Makes it so much easier.
Yall better appreciate Skiesti because she could have just left up the PC guide. Learned from PC guide. Game play improved 1000000% . Hope to see better mercy players from here on out now. No excuses!
I know that the movement guide I made can be translated to console as well, I tried hard to make sure of that but I'm really happy to have been able to create a video specifically for console too :>
If I may be honest... I personally feel like I've lost a bit of the oomph GA has with the jump and stuff? But that may just be a thing it was the hold GA thing. Just a thing I gotta get used to.
ima be so honest i am a mecry main on ps5 ive been one for 5 yrs now and back when i started you couldnt find mercy settings for console so i had to figure it out myself and i did the same thing with rez being x and jump being L2
15:13 is is probably different now because of the increased cd, and backwards ga doesnt go as far anymore. but besides that the movement section of the guide should be the same
The code used in this video is GSPG8 Just go make a custom game and input this code and it sets the game to be this workshop mode where you can practice!
@Andriatic cx I'm not sure why but every time I put in that code it says "Error Importing Game Settings Code." But to be honest I didn't even know how to use custom modes so just that information is enough, Just wanted to say thanks again as I'm sure this information will help me out a TON.
So, this might be a dumb question… when I try to superjump rez, I always end up going too high in the air and it cancels out… what am I doing wrong. I watched the superjump rez part of the video and I’m still confused.
I'm learning controller, I'm a PC player but I THINK it works the same Basically you're looking up way too high, I struggled with this for awhile too, it's mostly just a skill thing you learn overtime
i used these settings, i like them but is it supposed to make me slightly delayed? maybe it’s just me but i feel like it’s like that when i use my abilities and quick melee EDIT: OKAY NVM IM JUST BEING STUPID IT’S BECAUSE I TURNED OFF THE RUMBLE WHICH MADE IT FEEL WEIRD FOR ME
I gotta say,I never met a more off-putting character than mercy only Because of how janky and cramp inducing her controls are but thanks for the guide. At least I can quit feeling like my fingers are gonna twist just to move like a normal person.
How do you not touch the ground and bounce off like the first few minutes of the video? What are the controls? I kept touching ground or crouching when touch ground.
Hi my sensitivity is high but I’m not able to do the super jump rez every time I try to do it while flicking up I stay on the ground some people told me that it doesn’t work on console but here you are doing it
i use L3 for res and it still works plus you can use the crouch button to glide if you're doing a superjump. my L2 button was free for pings after changing this around (i see what you mean but it's not hard at all to get used to!)
I tried out the setting but did you bound the angelic decent with something because I find myself having to click L2 in addition to the super jump which is clunky and hard to do I don't know to to fix it buts the only thing Making it hard to play
Hey Ana zen player in my play lobbies hope your watching this when you’re missing your shots or slowly walking back from spawn since you’re sucha easy target!!!
Thank you so much for this. I tried using Mercy on console yesterday and let’s just say it did not go well. I was not used to the button placement, the aim assist or the sensitivity having to be higher. It was a mess, to say the least
Made these changes to my character and I’m so bad rn cause I’m not used to these controls… and yet, first game as mercy, My healing was 💩, but I had 35 assists and ppl messaged “God Mercy.” I’ll take that as a good sign cause I’ve never gotten that before lol. Thank you.
I felt really good when he said sensitivity doesn't matter when you have to react fast (basically i have it 75 and 65 for better aim in 1v1 and even practiced on aim training but i used to have it 90 85 to react ) i thought so It did matter since I felt the movement of the camera very robotic.❤
great video ! changing the bindings so you don’t have to take your thumbs off the joysticks is really a game changer, and honestly you get used to it pretty fast ! :D
I know it took a while but it's finally here! I hope it covers everything you were looking for.

Sucks so bad that they nerfed backwards GA, it really mostly affects console.
ok actually thank you SO much, I've been playing mercy for a while and I'm on console so the original play controls downgraded me a lot.
Joysticks binding is not always good, it'll soon wear out your joystick and develop a nasty drift
Personally have never had this happen and I’ve been using Left stick to crouch for about 6 years now!
@@Andriatic it's probably a PlayStation problem then 😔
@@canadiancoffee oh possibly idk the differences between how the controllers are made
When I crouch to jump up, I’m in crouch mode when I land.
Same, normally i just click the crouch button right before i hit the floor though
Does anyone know the Switch bindings? It would be helpful thanks 🙏
It's in opinions, I think in social but u can look around in the opinions and find it
I play splatoon occasionally so I’m just gonna rock the motion controls personally
Thank you so much! There are so few resources for console players!
i didn’t see anyone comment this question.. so i wanted to ask. i noticed in the video that andriatic was practicing the sj rez.. is there a code for it???? i’d love to practice

tbh im gonna use these settings to become a battle mercy
OMG TYTYTYTY
Could you do a Switch one? I personally do B crouch Right joystick jump
Unfortunately you can't change rez button without changing descent on ps4. They are always together and it really irritates
i use L3 for res and it still works plus you can use the crouch button to glide if you're doing a superjump. my L2 button was free for pings after changing this around (i see what you mean but it's not hard at all to get used to!)
I tried out the setting but did you bound the angelic decent with something because I find myself having to click L2 in addition to the super jump which is clunky and hard to do I don't know to to fix it buts the only thing Making it hard to play
