How to play Zarya?

I manage to bubble the right people at the right time, mostly, and more often than once I am at 100 percent, but still no kills. How can I become useful? Any tips or guides?

Get shot . Don’t die . Save people . Cleanse . Yes t500 here you go !
Sorry if I seem sarcastic but I was trying to help :rofl:

once she has any energy, just spam nades at the enemy squishies’ feet. she deals lots of ranged damage there and gains lots of ult charge that way.

also for when you have energy: when you have been holding your beam on an enemy for a few seconds before you run out of ammo OR when the enemy is low health splash a nade on their feet to finish them off. Doing both of these maximizes dps and ammo management

Why do you often fail to get kills? Could you explain?

aiming, I guess, as I am very old and not so fast any more.

If the enemy is close enough you can do the most burst damage by flinging right clicks and using the beam during the cooldown. You should be able to melt anything with high energy.

Currently, on Live, there is a bug where the tick of Zarya’s LC will sometimes deal only partial damage if it loses connection on a target rapidly.

RC is useful against smaller targets, (Sombra/Tracer), but also be sure your reticule isn’t too crazy. Zarya’s default is fine; personally I use a [Dot - Size 6]

Also be sure your sensitivity is one you can use comfortably to do 180’s and 360’s with. Note, comfortably, don’t worry about precision, that’ll come later

Now here’s a simple damage tip:

RC deals 47 damage, (at 0 Charge), and costs 25 Ammo.

BUT you can still use it below 25 Ammo.
ALSO if used at or below 10 Ammo, you actually get more damage than if you had used LC

  • RC + Melee is 77 Damage, if you’re in range to land a melee

Good luck
