[RETRIBUTION] PSA: Melee the Assassin to knock her off

General Discussion
1

You can melee the assassin when she jumps on an ally to knock her off. I see so many people sit there shooting at her or Moiras trying to outheal the damage (you can’t) instead of saving their ally from their impending death.

You can also stop her with McCree’s stun, and dashing away from her with Genji will also stun her. If Reaper goes into Wraith she’ll just stand there for a few seconds (not sure if the same applies for Moira’s Fade but I’m guessing it does). These all give you opportunities to get off free shots on her.

Thanks for reading and happy killing

What I’m interested about is if Dva’s boop unhinges her as well and if Orisa’s halt works too.

Yeah they do I believe.

Any sort of cc works. It’s difficult to see, but melee actually gives a very very VERY small boop to whoever you target, hence why it works on the assassin (I’m assuming)
