Help! I suck really bad with Sojourn! Any good tips or matchups I can take advantage as her? I feel like her primary weapon does no damage.
Her primary weapon is a really fast projectile, so you gotta lead people a bit at range.
Take off angles, nade groups or people away from cover to set up easy kills, build charge and rail gun enemies’ melons, slide jump back to your team if remotely threatened.
She’s pretty simplistic, if you struggle with her grind your aim, as her gamesense requirement is basically ‘Don’t stand in the open in the middle of main or ego duel Widow….unless you have railgun.”
Headshots OP.
Ask for a Mercy pocket.
Idk what to tell you besides all you do is spray and pray.
But for real though…the headshot multipler needs to get toned down.
Best places to use your field is indoors and doorways. You’d be surprise what kind of kills you cam get just dropping a zone down and then laying down suppressive fire.
If you find yourself getting into a lot of direct conflict save your alt fire for those fights specifically so you can quickly move your focus on other priorities.
Basics still apply here…but you can get away with a lot due to the nature of headshot kills nullifying gameplay.
Your ultimate overchatge is best used when targets are lined up or you expect a latge burst of retaliation, in either healing damage or defense from the enemy. You cancel out gameplay. That is Soljorn’s thing. No I will not retract that statement that is her only purpose.
Learn to save your railgun fire til you need it. Don’t just spam it. Take your time lining those shots and rather than waste alt fire charge on spam take a moment to pause and line up your crosshair. Eventually it’ll become second nature.
Alt fire bodyshots hurt still…so if you’re not confident with headshots those will do just fine because your TTK is still ridiculously faster than most other dps.
Practice using railgun in the aim trainer workshop gamemodes for one, practice makes perfect and this is how I improved hitting shots with her.
Her primary fire is an incredibly fast projectile so you want to be leading at range more then tracking but the spread definitely hinders at range turning sojourn into a storm trooper so you want to be positioning yourself at close to medium range primarily.
Always shoot at the enemy tank first in a fight with primary they exist to give you free railgun charge so you can 1 tap a dps or support(not true 1 tap but most of the time they’re already missing more then 5hp).
Disruptor field is great for creating space around you if you don’t want an enemy to get too close but it’s also great to just simply play inside it at close range, the added DPS during a duel can give you a massive advantage. You can also use it to deny a vantage point from the enemies which is another cool thing.
Don’t worry if you’re not always hitting headshots, bodyshots deal 130 damage and can quickly be shot down with primary fire.
Use your power slide aggressively more then defensively, she works well in dive for a reason but also use it defensively if you really need to get out of a tight situation.
Best advice for Ult is to use it when the enemies are within your sightline out of cover and make sure most of your team isn’t dead because man do I see this mistake a lot with people feeding during overclock.
