It's dummy good. I'm basically unkillable now because I move around so erratically. The only thing I don't like so much is the cooldown on GA, but that might just be me.
I've honestly enjoyed the changes for the new GA as it's one easy button on the mouse if I need elevation. The meter thing is something I do need to get used to. Overall, I think it's a good change.
I honestly respect all mercy players. The amount of game sense, spatial awareness, decision making and technical capability required to play the character is insane. Doubly so for ow2 and for high level play.
As someone who was pretty much a mercy main when OW1 launched but hasn't really played her much the past few years, this guide and the settings guide are absolutely perfect for me to get back into the groove with mercy, thanks!
This has been the most helpful guide I’ve come across, never realized mercy could move around like this! I’m mainly an Ana main but I’ve been playing around with mercy all day trying to get the movement down and it’s so much fun. Ty for the guide.
Aw, thank you, I'm really glad that the guide is so helpful :> Mercy has a lot of fun movement tech so it's great to hear you're having such a good time with it! Good luck! Also I'm so sorry if going back to Ana after feels bad because she has no mobility LMAO
Hi I just started playing OW this weekend and just wanted to say that all of this was all kinds of wonderful. Being able to zip around has been so incredibly fun! Just wanted to say thank you, it's been awesome watching you!
LMAO yeah when I said movement guide I really did mean as much of her new movement as I know of right now. It's a lot but take it a few techs at a time and you'll get the hang of it! Good luck!
i’ve been practicing my movement on custom games/qp and i find that ga/sj is now a lot easier for me on console than it was in ow 1. this guide is going to help me a lot
I've been hearing a lot of console players having a hard time with it. Is there anything you could recommend for me to tell them? I don't play console so I really don't have any experience with it but it's something that is mentioned a lot
@@Skiesti i suggest to try remapping buttons, that's what i did in ow1 for super jump on console, and it was super easy to translate over to ow2 with it :D definitely remapping GA to be on the buttons rather than shoulder / trigger buttons makes it easier since you could do it with one hand instead of having to coordinate with two (like i play on switch, so i retoggled valk to be L, and GA to be on X. not sure what it translates to on xbox or ps)
@@strawberry-bs5bp So Valk on L, GA on X, what do you have crouch bound to? Also some console players are having a hard time with the directional GA and being able to look around quickly. How have you been handling that?
@@Skiesti crouch is bound to A (on switch, unsure abt other consoles, default for that button is set to "toggle crouch" so i just swapped it over to just normal crouch on all my heroes). i'd say i've been handling it pretty well, it definitely helps that switch has motion controls so it makes camera movement feel more... fluid? so it hasn't been too hard to adjust, at least for myself :o
@@Skiesti I’m a console player too, and TBH I struggled to do all of the Mercy movement in OW1 until I got a pro controller with buttons on the underside. At one point, I had a goofy setup where I had crouch on R1/RB and and blue beam on L3 (the stick press button) with toggle beam on. It was the only way I could superjump consistently on the default controller, but then I couldn’t easily crouch while shooting. I now have jump and crouch bound to my 2 under-buttons, which has been tremendously helpful for all heroes with free-flight and other heroes with jump tech. For Mercy specifically, after much iteration, I’ve come back around to mostly default bindings for her. (Before, I had swapped Rez and Jump, so Rez was on X and Jump was on L2. Now that I have the under-button for jump, I no longer have to take my thumb off of the aim stick to Rez, which makes it much easier to turn and “catch” a soul.) Not movement-related, but I also swapped her weapon switch and reload buttons, as the default reload can be tapped while moving and the default weapon swap cannot. For using Mercy’s new movement, I haven’t changed any keybinds, but I think it should be easier to find a setup that works because you no longer _need_ to be able to do a crouch-GA. Turning up the sensitivity and turning down aim smoothing can help with being able to quickly turn to set a bounce direction. I haven’t changed those personally, but I already had low aim smoothing and high sens. Makes the pistol a bit hard to use, but at least snipers don’t move that fast 😅. Personally, when I was using regular-tension thumb sticks, the fastest sense I could handle was 60/30. I have higher-tension thumb sticks now and play on 75/37. I may continue to bump it upward if I feel like I can get away with it.
This is so helpful!! I was at a loss with the new mercy, but this helped a ton! Will definitely be incorporating your guide into my playstyle! Thanks for the amazing video!
I haven’t seen anyone show their PlayStation mercy keybinds so here’s some I’d recommend Crouch- L2 GA-L1 Blue Beam-R2 Yellow Beam- R1 Rez- Circle Jump- X I really want to emphasise unbinding crouch from circle to L2, as having toggle crouch off (which you should also do) means you will have to sacrifice control of either your movement stick or aiming stick if not make it very uncomfortable or flicky, (doing this means you’ll have to rebound Rez) I also chose to swap primary and secondary fire because it will help you get into the habit of defaulting to damage boost rather than healing (second priority) Hope this helped someone
You're welcome! And if you enjoy movement you're going to just absolutely LOVE the new movement Mercy has in OW2 the more you play her. She's capable of so much more now and it's just incredibly fun :>
I actually bound crouch on E and on my mouse (I have rez also bound on my mouse) Because the original SJ was having to press crouch first, it put me into a bad habit I struggled to change. Helped a LOT keeping crouch away from my shift.
Might also be worth mentioning that GA pops you up a bit when moving toward allies who are level with you. This means you need to look down slightly to get through doorways sometimes
Just got back into the game after not playing since overwatch 1 and wow! Mercys movement has really gotten an upgrade! I cant wait to try these out in game
Wow, thanks. I'm completely new to overwatch, had no idea there was a super jump and that its input is crouch. My siblings love it when I play as Mercy, and I'm sure the opposing team hates me. Things are gonna get more now that I can super jump!
didn't know how I felt about the movement until i found the MERCY GUIDE OF MERCY GUIDES :> thank you for all the educational content :3 amazing video as always love you ski
The best thing with this new tech is being able to stay up in the air for an infinite amount of time (as long as you have allies below you). Especially in lower ranks, where people don’t look up that often.
i’m pretty new at mercy but i’ve been doing amazing after learning the new movements! i suggest for new players at well to practice in mercy parkour in custom games if you wanna get a hang of it in different maps!
Thank you! I've been playing her new movement a lot and trying to make it as clean as possible :> It's a lot of fun so I'm really glad to hear that you've been loving it!
I had a game the other day where it was just me and the Roadhog left alive after the attacking team used a bunch of ults, and I was bouncing around all over the place being evasive and keeping him alive and contesting the payload with several backwards slingshots while he had to hide in cover to wait for his breather cooldown. And then the enemy Junkrat tried to go after our respawners as they were coming in behind me, and the Ana slept him and killed him right as I was doing a longer backwards bounce to try to slide into cover since I wasn’t needed on the payload anymore and I landed right on the Total Mayhem and died 😂
I find stationary superjump to be useful for superjump rezzes that have you standing right next to the target. It's even doable in Valkyrie, but you have to be basically touching the ground.
Well hopefully the video will help keep you up to date with her tech! I think I covered it all but if I find anymore I'll definitely be sharing more :>
Used to have good movement in OW1. I carried over to OW2 a long while after it came out and had no idea they changed her movement so here i was trying to jump and all that thinking I just sucked or something. This guide is great. will definitely be using these 😊
Thank you Skiesti! You made everything super clear and I was able to replicate all of them after spending some time in the training range. Several questions: 1. Is GA jump (at 02:20) the same as cancelling GA immediately with either rez or space thus getting the tiny hop at the beginning of GA, or is there more to it? 2. Is the "delay makes you go further" (at 03:42) the result of a higher meter charge, or is there more to it? 3. Sideways GA (at 04:12): Does holding A or D really affect your initial slingshot trajectory or is it just the result of the in-air control you have after cancelling GA (like the V-Superjump at 6:56)? I tested it by either holding down A or D before pressing space or pressing them immediately after, and could discern no difference between my trajectories. 4. Does crouch GA make any difference to your movement after you press space/crouch? In other words, is there any point in doing slingshot/super jump the old way if hitbox/getting stuck on props during the initial GA is not a concern? 5. You mentioned the need to double tap crouch if you have it double-bound (at 06:27). I noticed that you only need to double tap crouch if you kept crouch held down after initiating crouch GA. Since I always let go of crouch after starting crouch GA and thus never noticed this issue, I wonder if there is any actual benefit to holding down crouch after GA? Thanks again for making this guide. It is very comprehensive and very helpful!
i use a 60% keyboard and i was struggling SO badly to perform these jumps! i switched my guardian angel to my thumb mouse button and it works soooo much better for me. i can perform these perfectly now and i feel like a pro ^^ i figured i should share just incase someone else was really struggling with mercy's keybinds like i was!
I use a 60% as well which is why I use LCtrl and a mouse button which I pointed out in the keybind section of the video, it's really nice and makes the SJ pretty fluid to use :>
I was very hesitant about these changes at first, after perfecting her movement over the years, I thought it would be a massive nerf (looking at the meter) but when I tried her out for myself, I fell in love and I now see how much of a buff it is. I'm finding toggle ga + crouch ga helps a lot with close range jumps, I can get the red bar from 5 meters. and for old sj I only have to press crouch once instead of twice. Toggle ga I haven't used in years, but with this new tech it kind of feels suited to it, especially on controller.
Super helpful guide. For whatever reason, I'm having trouble staying at a relatively high altitude for a long time. While still in the air, I typically have to GA to a teammate and SJ back up high and then start the whole process over again. I just need to continue to practice, I guess.
mercy and lucio main who recently started playing more mercy, i’m mediocre right now but i’ve realized that even with that being the case i rarely did during games, always less than five, most of the time no more than 2, so i started wondering what i could do if i actually got good with mercy and now i’m here, ig i’ll be an ana lucio and mercy main
I absolutely love the new GA tech in Mercy's kit, its been so much fun ti play her! I've been lucky-ish with the new tech too. I had to merge accounts and switch to playing on Xbox (my dinky laptop can't play ow2 and I can't get a new rig yet). So I had to completely relearn Mercy movement on a controller (the default button mapping is so bad lol), and as a result it was super easy for me to pick up on the new crouch cancel. And interestingly, now that I don't have to worry about sj consistency, I've noticed that my general map awareness and positioning is rather lacking. So, now I can work on these fundamentals a lot more and improve!
Started playing overwatch 2 after leaving overwatch in early 2020 as a lucio main and the movement is rusty for me. However, I’ve been experimenting with mercy for a few games now and she genuinely has some solo carry potential, also finally got the huge rez achievement despite losing a few team fights. I would kind of ditch my teammate who’s basically already dead and slingshot out so I didn’t die and go back to my team, which is probably the smart thing to do
I didn’t play mercy for the first two months of ow2 because I was sad all my time spent mastering her old tech was put the window. But I’m getting back into her now because my teammates won’t work around Winston bubbles with me…so she’s one of the only ones who can heal through shields.
Super helpful! I’m new to overwatch and so far have been loving playing mercy. Do you think you would ever make a vid about which characters to pocket and which ones you can kinda leave on their own?
Oh for sure! I'm going to release a lot of different Mercy guides and I'll definitely end up making one that's related to her damage boost and who is good to pocket. Until then, to get you started, flankers like Sombra, Tracer, and Genji are normally okay by themselves. Heroes like Ashe, Cassidy, Pharah, Echo, Hanzo, Soldier are more likely to need your help. I know that's leaving out some DPS but I think that'll help for now!
I'm relearning mercy, and this guide is helpful, going to take me a while to get it down though i think, but double binding the crouch has been kind of helpful.
7:58 - Okay who can consistently do Long SJ Rez at 20m+?? Please explain cause I most of the time fly too high (my rez gets cancelled) even trying to angle camera lower/holding space, not holding space
That's why I put the spray down when I was using the workshop. It gave me an indication of where I should be starting the SJ rez. It'll take time to get it down but it's just a matter of practicing it enough
Finished grinding my dps queues and as a main hitscan, realised in all that time i didn't have a single mercy that knew what they were doing so... with your permission i'm gonna devour your entire channel, make the job myself and start grinding the mercy in my support queues haha. Thx for content
Hah, of course! Feel free to devour as much of the Mercy content here as you'd like! I'm going to be releasing more guides for her as well so there'll be plenty to look forward to :>
Welcome to Overwatch! I hope you're enjoying the game so far! I know it can be pretty confusing when you're starting out but if you're interested in learning more about Mercy, I'm around to answer questions and help however I can and I hope this guide helps too! :>
@@Skiesti thank you I really am! There’s so much to learn it’s really exciting! My favs are probably Mercy and maybe Cassidy cause he’s so friggin cute. Your video really helped, I literally cannot wait until I’m good at mercy so I can start actually helping my teammates 😭 keep up the good work! Your guide really helped
To be honest I thought the only reason mercy could get in the air was To fly to a phara I didn’t realize she had a super jump. Also probably cause my entire team didn’t realize you could crouch until we found out Baptist had moonboots
So, what does everyone think of Mercy's new GA/SJ in Overwatch 2? Are we warming up to it yet?
At first i hated it but after learning how to adapt i like it a lot now, she has so much more options to use for moving around which is nice
i LOVE it
Omg it’s insane once you figure out how to use it in combat. I’ve been unkillable once I got the hang of it. Best mercy change
It's dummy good. I'm basically unkillable now because I move around so erratically. The only thing I don't like so much is the cooldown on GA, but that might just be me.
I've honestly enjoyed the changes for the new GA as it's one easy button on the mouse if I need elevation. The meter thing is something I do need to get used to. Overall, I think it's a good change.
After watching this, my entire movement with Mercy has entirely changed. I’m definitely gonna use ALL of these!!
Aw, that's amazing! Good luck implementing the tech into your movement! :>
Ahhhh
I honestly respect all mercy players. The amount of game sense, spatial awareness, decision making and technical capability required to play the character is insane. Doubly so for ow2 and for high level play.
Yeah you haven’t seen my friend play mercy, they’re a Dps mercy
@@jordanladely4860 LMAO. Yes
Mercy is the first hero I played, it’s also the one I enjoyed most. I have most my hours on her
Thank you
Bro just stop trynna. She ain’t gonna give you any
As someone who was pretty much a mercy main when OW1 launched but hasn't really played her much the past few years, this guide and the settings guide are absolutely perfect for me to get back into the groove with mercy, thanks!
Aw, thank you! I'm glad that my guides can be of help to get back into Mercy! There'll be plenty more coming in the future :>
Very thorough and organized, the overlay showing your keypresses is smart. Great vid.
Thank you! I really wanted to make sure I included the keypresses to make learning the tech hopefully easier :>
Agree. You get a sub from me✨👍
@@Skiesti What program do you use for that overlay?
I'm definitely going to be coming back to this video habitually. there's SO MUCH useful tech to take in
Thank you, it'll always be here for y'all to reference!

I've played a bit, this guide is comprehensive. There is so much info condensed. Very useful
This 11 minute video just made me twice as good at playing Mercy. Thanks.
Aww, thank you :>
When you said you were doing a movement guide, I didn't realize there was so much tech! Thanks Ski!

The movement is fantastic I am obsessed with it
Yess, been waiting for this one. Great video with a lot of helpful information and tech to help us Mercy mains in OW2. Thank you Ski!
I tried to finish this one as soon as I could for y'all! I'm happy it's helpful :>
This is so helpful!! I was at a loss with the new mercy, but this helped a ton! Will definitely be incorporating your guide into my playstyle! Thanks for the amazing video!
I'm so glad it's helpful! Good luck learning her new movement :>
I haven’t seen anyone show their PlayStation mercy keybinds so here’s some I’d recommend
Crouch- L2
GA-L1
Blue Beam-R2
Yellow Beam- R1
Rez- Circle
Jump- X
I really want to emphasise unbinding crouch from circle to L2, as having toggle crouch off (which you should also do) means you will have to sacrifice control of either your movement stick or aiming stick if not make it very uncomfortable or flicky, (doing this means you’ll have to rebound Rez) I also chose to swap primary and secondary fire because it will help you get into the habit of defaulting to damage boost rather than healing (second priority)
Hope this helped someone
Great to come back to, to remember all of the movements after not playing for a while
as a movement apex player who loves to play mercy, this made my heart so happy lol thanks!
You're welcome! And if you enjoy movement you're going to just absolutely LOVE the new movement Mercy has in OW2 the more you play her. She's capable of so much more now and it's just incredibly fun :>

Might also be worth mentioning that GA pops you up a bit when moving toward allies who are level with you. This means you need to look down slightly to get through doorways sometimes
For doorways I press crouch immediately followed by ga. She'll glide to them low to the ground so ensure you get through doorways

Im switching over to PC for the first time and this really helped. Thank you!
i’m pretty new at mercy but i’ve been doing amazing after learning the new movements! i suggest for new players at well to practice in mercy parkour in custom games if you wanna get a hang of it in different maps!
super helpful video with the time stamps and keyboard buttons on the bottom right 🥺💖
Thank you! I'm trying to make my guides as easy to follow as possible :>
I love how cleeaannnn your movement is!! I'm still getting used to her movement, but I love it so far!
Thank you! I've been playing her new movement a lot and trying to make it as clean as possible :>
It's a lot of fun so I'm really glad to hear that you've been loving it!
really great vid, i love how it covers everything including the very basics
THANK YOU
Im really needed that guide after OW1
i hated it at first..now i’m addicted like it’s just so fun to backward slingshot everywhere omg 😩
Yessss backward GA is SO incredibly fun 🥰
I had a game the other day where it was just me and the Roadhog left alive after the attacking team used a bunch of ults, and I was bouncing around all over the place being evasive and keeping him alive and contesting the payload with several backwards slingshots while he had to hide in cover to wait for his breather cooldown.

I watched this video a couple of times today and my gameplay has already improved dramatically 👍👍👍
Thanks for the guide, this is super helpful as someone who played ow1 and feeling clunky playing her new settings.
Thanks, this is very useful! It helps so much when enemy chases me around
LMAO that's definitely the best time to use this
THANK YOU! this helped me so much, i was so frustrated i couldnt superjump but now i got the hang of it again!!!

watching in 2024 this vid taught me so much I was so trash at mercy ! I will always come back to this vid to practice something new
I feel like I'm gonna end up learning how to fly irl too by the time I mastered this.
I saw this video on live ❤️
Thanks for that masterpiece Skie 🌻
Thank you for stopping by the video after seeing it live :>
Used to have good movement in OW1. I carried over to OW2 a long while after it came out and had no idea they changed her movement so here i was trying to jump and all that thinking I just sucked or something.
This guide is great. will definitely be using these 😊
This makes me wanna play Overwatch again. I spent so much time playing Mercy, so much fun

Several questions:
1. Is GA jump (at 02:20) the same as cancelling GA immediately with either rez or space thus getting the tiny hop at the beginning of GA, or is there more to it?
2. Is the "delay makes you go further" (at 03:42) the result of a higher meter charge, or is there more to it?

Since I always let go of crouch after starting crouch GA and thus never noticed this issue, I wonder if there is any actual benefit to holding down crouch after GA?
Thanks again for making this guide. It is very comprehensive and very helpful!
Great video. With 1200 hrs logged in OW this video helped me reach new personal bests.
Thank you so much! this cover everything!
Extremely well made and thorough video. I'm excited to check out your other content so I can see these mechanics in-action!
Honestly, a huge fan of the new movement. Works extremely well w/ Lucio
as someone who has never played mercy, this makes me atleast interested in learning some techs and not completely suck! thank you :D
Decided to get serious into playing Mercy, thankfully I knew where to go to find tips for her movement 😂 Thanks, this has been very helpful!
Haven't even seen the full thing yet and I know it's the moment
the week i start learning some of this tech is also the week they happened to nerf mercy into the ground
i use a 60% keyboard and i was struggling SO badly to perform these jumps! i switched my guardian angel to my thumb mouse button and it works soooo much better for me. i can perform these perfectly now and i feel like a pro ^^ i figured i should share just incase someone else was really struggling with mercy's keybinds like i was!

Thank you I just installed the game and want to invest my time in playing support in ranked. This will definitely improve my mercy games.
thanks for the guide, very helpful!! been trying to get used to the new controls
It takes a bit to get used to the new controls but you got this! Good luck!
I was looking for the infinite SJ! I kept seeing it in mercy vods but couldn't do it in game, I'll make sure to try this next time thanks!
Standing superjump is for sure something I struggle with. Im just super inconsistent with it
It takes time but you'll get it!
As a Mercy enjoyer I found myself practicing some of the jumps with GA. But this crouch SJ tech blew my mind hahaha. Thanks!!
does the infinite ga work anymore? i’m trying in the practice range and it’s not working and i’m going insane
mercy and lucio main who recently started playing more mercy, i’m mediocre right now but i’ve realized that even with that being the case i rarely did during games, always less than five, most of the time no more than 2, so i started wondering what i could do if i actually got good with mercy and now i’m here, ig i’ll be an ana lucio and mercy main
This video was so detailed thank you
thank you so much, Ski! this was super helpful!
I'm in love with Mercy's new movement, only thing I find harder now is sj res
SJ Rez will take a bit to adapt to the new way of doing it but with practice I'm sure you'll get the hang of it!
Woah mercy feels so much harder and challenging with all these new movement, and i fucking love it
Super thorough guide ty
Really helpful video!
2 Minutes of your video and you already saved me *-*
I absolutely love the new GA tech in Mercy's kit, its been so much fun ti play her! I've been lucky-ish with the new tech too. I had to merge accounts and switch to playing on Xbox (my dinky laptop can't play ow2 and I can't get a new rig yet). So I had to completely relearn Mercy movement on a controller (the default button mapping is so bad lol), and as a result it was super easy for me to pick up on the new crouch cancel.
And interestingly, now that I don't have to worry about sj consistency, I've noticed that my general map awareness and positioning is rather lacking. So, now I can work on these fundamentals a lot more and improve!
Came from stream, really good and informative video!
I appreciate you taking the time to come from the stream :>
I just decided to start playing mercy and wtf she's so fun, thanks for the guide!
This is such a good guide and helped me understand what weird moves I was doing long. Mercys guardian angel is so confusing lol. Amazing guide
the feeling of getting stuck as mercy is a frustration i never wanted
Very good video as someone who is somewhat new to overwatch. Subscribed and look forward to new videos
Aw, thank you so much! I hope you've been enjoying Overwatch so far and I'll be coming out with more Mercy content regularly :>
I am from season 6 and i want my GA cooldown back :()
this is great for learning mercy tech, very informative
Great video! thank you for the tips!
thank you so much!! i can't wait to practice these :)
Good luck!
I wish you could change the color of Mercy's meter bar. I have trouble seeing how full it is sometimes.
really good vid. i always thought mercy was too complicated to get into and not as fun as lucio etc. but now i wanna play her.
Started playing overwatch 2 after leaving overwatch in early 2020 as a lucio main and the movement is rusty for me. However, I’ve been experimenting with mercy for a few games now and she genuinely has some solo carry potential, also finally got the huge rez achievement despite losing a few team fights. I would kind of ditch my teammate who’s basically already dead and slingshot out so I didn’t die and go back to my team, which is probably the smart thing to do
I didn’t play mercy for the first two months of ow2 because I was sad all my time spent mastering her old tech was put the window. But I’m getting back into her now because my teammates won’t work around Winston bubbles with me…so she’s one of the only ones who can heal through shields.
Super helpful! I’m new to overwatch and so far have been loving playing mercy. Do you think you would ever make a vid about which characters to pocket and which ones you can kinda leave on their own?
Oh for sure! I'm going to release a lot of different Mercy guides and I'll definitely end up making one that's related to her damage boost and who is good to pocket.
Until then, to get you started, flankers like Sombra, Tracer, and Genji are normally okay by themselves. Heroes like Ashe, Cassidy, Pharah, Echo, Hanzo, Soldier are more likely to need your help. I know that's leaving out some DPS but I think that'll help for now!
Ah! I was waiting for this vid! Ty
I watched your guide and got play of the game as Mercy in the first test game 😊
Alright time to become a mercy main because this movement just looks super fun
Amazing guide ^^
Awesome, thank you for this video!
I'm relearning mercy, and this guide is helpful, going to take me a while to get it down though i think, but double binding the crouch has been kind of helpful.
7:58 - Okay who can consistently do Long SJ Rez at 20m+?? Please explain cause I most of the time fly too high (my rez gets cancelled) even trying to angle camera lower/holding space, not holding space
That's why I put the spray down when I was using the workshop. It gave me an indication of where I should be starting the SJ rez. It'll take time to get it down but it's just a matter of practicing it enough
Finished grinding my dps queues and as a main hitscan, realised in all that time i didn't have a single mercy that knew what they were doing so... with your permission i'm gonna devour your entire channel, make the job myself and start grinding the mercy in my support queues haha. Thx for content
Hah, of course! Feel free to devour as much of the Mercy content here as you'd like! I'm going to be releasing more guides for her as well so there'll be plenty to look forward to :>
@@Skiesti guide already got me placed masters 2 on supp onetricking mercy lol so.....keep em videos comin queen !👑
Thanks for the info! very clear and concise
i cant comprehend this
With current mercy's ga cooldowns it's so frustrating
started playing overwatch couple hours ago im so confused but this is cool!
Welcome to Overwatch! I hope you're enjoying the game so far! I know it can be pretty confusing when you're starting out but if you're interested in learning more about Mercy, I'm around to answer questions and help however I can and I hope this guide helps too! :>
@@Skiesti thank you I really am! There’s so much to learn it’s really exciting! My favs are probably Mercy and maybe Cassidy cause he’s so friggin cute. Your video really helped, I literally cannot wait until I’m good at mercy so I can start actually helping my teammates 😭 keep up the good work! Your guide really helped
To be honest I thought the only reason mercy could get in the air was To fly to a phara I didn’t realize she had a super jump. Also probably cause my entire team didn’t realize you could crouch until we found out Baptist had moonboots
Thank you so much. Amazing video
Thanks this helped me so much ! ❤
your videos are always so helpful, thanks for making this ski
Thank you! Plenty more helpful Mercy guides on the way 👀
pretty sure half of these views are me, i have this video bookmarked for constant reference. thank u so much!!
LMAO I'm glad it's been so helpful ;w;;
I'm curious if this stuff will transfer to a controller peasant like myself. I plan on giving her a go. Thanks skiesti!
Yup! All the techs are able to be performed on console :>
