400 hours on Mercy and I still watch the beginners guides you put out, you're just so soothing and lovely.

Important note: Mercy's ammo has a really big hitbox and you can easily get headshots without directly aiming at the head.

For any new Mercy players there will be times where it feels like you aren’t doing anything. I would look into how many assists you are getting and aiming to be the person with the most as this usually means you’re getting value with DMG. You got this!

when you said dont think “when should i damage boost” but instead “when should i heal”. literally blew my mind 🤯 ive never thought of it like that

anyone else miss her ow1 movement? 🥺 sure, it was a little harder but that exactly was the charm of it, so rewarding and fun to master

21:50 One thing to note is that using the pistol can make it harder to realize that you actually have flight targets available, since the pistol is the only part of Mercy’s kit that doesn’t allow her to freely look around. I’ve had many many instances in-game where I’ve made myself available as a GA target to my Mercy, spam “group up” and “I need healing” to get her attention, and she just dies and staggers herself because she’s pistoling. (I’ve done it as Mercy plenty too, but it’s very noticeable when you’re the potential savior that Mercy didn’t notice.) I usually advise new/low-skill Mercy players to avoid the pistol because of how much it constrains awareness. It’s very easy to have the perception that you only use the pistol when there’s nothing else you could do while you’re actually letting teammates and/or yourself die because you aren’t paying attention.

Mercy’s GA has a surprising amount of depth. I’ve started playing her since last season and it’s definitely got a higher skill ceiling the more you rank up!

Almost at 500 hours now on Mercy myself and I love watching your guides to help myself continue to improve. No matter how long I play mercy I still make stupid mistakes and these videos show me what I do wrong and how I can continue on the path of master mercy.

I appreciate how often you update these guides due to how much blizzard meddle with mercy (and usually for the worse). thank you so much

After all the Mercy hate lately I really needed content like this

As MEDIC main, I need that guide so much, cause my friends love overwatch, and almost all about positioning is different, In the MEDIC you need to be as far as possible from enemy, and avoid spy. Here you need to be with your team to help

As a mercy main, this definitely kicked my ego down several notches...but these are really good tips to know, I honestly didn't know probably more than half of them, so I know what I'll be working on for the next several weeks. Thanks for the video!

Great guide as always! I always see lower rank Mercys have bad rezzes too. It's frustrating when you are the one being rezzed into a 2v5 haha. The low DB and bad awareness/positioning are apparent too. Really to climb, just practice those things and you'll climb easily!

I personally love sacrificing myself for a res, even in lost fights lol. I think it’s hilarious 😅

Biggest thing about damage boost I try to tell new mercy players is that not using damage boost is essentially the same as playing zenyatta or lucio and not using your primary fire ever. Mercy isn't gonna be pistoling to contribute to damage cuz she needs her staff out to quickly heal. In overwatch all healers contribute offensive pressure constantly, blue beam is how mercy does damage

Even though I’ve been playing mercy for 6 years now, this is still so nice and relaxing. I’ve been practicing resurrect techs recently and they are really fun to pull off

Just had my first few mercy matches after being a zen main and wow i did not realize how much there is to account for with this character

Big shoutout from a Rein main to everyone watching this video, Mercy mains are the most patient people in Overwatch and the game wouldn't be the same without y'all

I nearly have 700 hours on Mercy. My main tip for getting more boosted damage is keeping your right click engaged at all times, and just left clicking when healing is required, then releasingLMB when your target is healed. This way, whenever someone is in range of your beam, you're automatically boosting them and you don't have to remind yourself that you need to be damage boosting. It also significantly reduces the amount of "overhealing", thus putting boosted damage in its place. I've found that one way to really urge yourself into the habit of this is to watch your game replays, which can be done through navigating to your career profile > history > replays. The way I've found this helpful is that it will highlight to you the rate at which you are healing full health allies, so in turn, when you are in games and experiencing scenarios similar to what you've seen in your replays, you'll be reminded to engage your RMB.

Day 1 Lucio main taking the plunge into the world of Mercy. Your videos have been a god send. Thanks!

You inspire me to play mercy!

Niandra ive been playing ow ever since it came out in 2016 when i was only 9 years old, im now 16 and ive been watching you for aslong as i can remember and i peaked at top 500 last season im so glad you still make content keep it up.

I just cant help but crouch all the time, the original ga movement is just stuck in my hands, your guides are always where I go for mercy help. Youre literally the best

Haven’t been on overwatch in years but this was really informative since I’ve never really played and didn’t know what I was doing when I did

and they say mercy is easy

8:20 That is something I did not know. TO dodge something like shatter. Great tip I wasn't aware of.

Your editing is amazing and this video had so many things I didnt know despite playing since 1.0

Deliciously detailed. Thanks!

I do the last one for the first one, Dont heal full-health allies it won't do anything It won't boost your Health ETC so instead damnge boost them especially if they are doing damage

I'm masters and still learned a new thing from this guide! Very insightful, nice work

I've only been playing mercy and overwatch for a few hours. Glad I could learn early on.

I’ve been playing since the realize of Overwatch but I’ve been taking it mor serious recently. I love playing Mercy so thank you for this!

7:32 I wish more dps/tank players knew WHY we do this instead of me just getting "WHY'D YOU STOP HEALING!!!!!!" in my ear after we die... Like bro... its a 2v5 and your critical hp with no game-changing ultimate... WE AINT GETTING OUT OF THIS!

Niandra is really mothering a whole new generation of Mercy mains

perfect video just as i started playing ow2!!!! thank you great video

I've only just started playing OW2 like 2 days ago, and I was wondering how the hell all the mercys were floating in the air without their ults lol, now I know its the guardian dash jump you explained, thanks for that will help me out a ton!

750 hours and I still feel something lacking. Thank you so much for this! 💗

i’m so happy u released this literally saved like 20 ur vids so i can watch offline but now i only need this one😭

18:57 the way Mercy spins lol xd

Amazing video, only thing I'd recommend, turn the background music volume down. There are times where the music is drowning out your instructions / information, or its so distracting that my mind is focusing on the music. A simple volume down, will help with that immensely for future videos :)

Hi, new mercy here, ive been mainly struggling with kills and damage boosting since ive only really dmg boosted during ults and shooting during mine, but this helped a lot! I really appreciate this tutorial, its clear and to the point!

I want to thank u so much I started playing mercy in season 2 of Overwatch 2 and was good but not the best after using ur tips my friends have complimented me so much saying I'm one of the best mercys they've ever seen thank u so much for these tips normally people gatekeep I'm glad u didn't :)

me who's played ow/mercy for 6yrs and has made it to gm1, i still watch this.

I like being support assault types like Ashe and Hanzo but i also want to learn how to mercy or anna and understand how truly stressful a real support class is and be a versatile player who can switch to be a healer or assault type depending on what my teammates want to play as. I am very great at ashe and i tend to be a team carrier but i wont deny the healer in my gameplays are the true team carrier. Healers staying on the job to heal me or res me after a enemy taking me out and then sneaking up on the enemy for a good revenge kill is the best feeling and knowing my healer is a true friend. And as a assault type i go for tanks or healers to kill while ignoring the flankers for the rest of the team to focus on.

ima be honest even though mercy is one of my top supports for time played, she isnt my all time fav support, i still like her a lot, but i clicked on your video because the artwork in your thumbnail is just phenomenal, and i was wondering if you drew it yourself or who drew it/their handle because the artstyle is so cute and it looks really nice, and if you make other art on insta or deviant or something i wanna know who to follow, again- it looks awesome

This video was so helpful! I’m trying to master mercy cos I’m usually a support character for my team. This helped so much

fave mercy content in the whole universe ty for the longer vid!!

The is really helped me figure out my beam priority, can definitely see the difference in winning team fights now 😁

Glad to know I'm doing most things right! Ty for this.

23 mins for a mercy guide is crazy

trying to get better at mercy since i think i've gotten a bit worse at her and honestly this guide is really easy to understand!

Excellent guide, clear and to the point

i spent many many seasons on mercy in ow1 but abandoned her in ow2, think its time i go back to my beloved hero

Tysm for the guide it really helped and the way you explained really helped too❤❤

your voice is so comforting and friendly :) thank you for the video!

Great guide and the edits were really funny. Awesome job.

i climbed to gm watching your vids and omg damage boost is the best even with the nerf my db progression level is so ahead of all other levels

Thanks for more tips! Been playing for years on the PS4, so perfecting the alt-uses of her techs can be tricky... And thanks for letting me know I can't go back to OW2 yet. I got myself concussed, as you do, and the gameplay clips *still* make me dizzy. -_-

New Mercy here! I just started playing a few weeks ago and this guide has already helped me so much - thank you! I also saw several Mercy‘s using a special type of „jump“, it‘s not the superjump where you use your assigned crouch-button to jump up high but rather a quicker and smaller jump by just flicking the mouse/camera up quickly in the direction you wanna go to reach ledges and stuff. Does anyone know how to pull that off or is it actually just a normal superjump? ❤

Will definitely keep these in mind when I next play mercy!

Thank you! I'm learning Mercy and I'm new to the game so thanks ! :)

Instant subscribe, glad you popped up on my feed!

Sometimes, i like to play what i call Mercless, which is just me, only using the gun and only ever-resing the tank

if your res cooldown is on 10 seconds the moment the player dies you have just enough time to res them.

❤ love you Niandra hope youve been healthy and well

I love mercy’s pistol, i main junkrat when I play dps and it made me really good at leading shots, I had a game the other day where Ashe and pharah were fighting and with my dmg boost she’d get enemy pharah super low before dying, and on 5 separate occasions I fired one bullet at pharah which hit and killed her which made me able to rez

13:19 this made me chuckle but it's true mercy is so stressfull if you try to be as efficient as possible. every single decision counts XD

This helps a lot thank you! I'm trying to play mercy so my duo can learn dps.

the first match i played while watching this i was complemented by my team and the enemy team.

I watched this vid earlier today and ended up getting to GM for the first time tonight

Great content! This helps so much as a newb mercy player! You are an absolutely insane mercy player too! sheesh

About to try Mercy for the first time!! My sister is the best at Mercy!

6:25 why do so many team mates not realise this an complain saying mercy is a heal

Mercy is the greatest support character of all time still til this day, BUT…..ILLARI is giving her a run for her money (still too early to tell if she will take her spot or not) because she’s so well balanced and has great offense for a support character and her healing pylon is a game changer, her ultimate is epic and clutch especially for a big crowd like Reaper and D’VA’s Ult. I’m so satisfied with her. ☀️ ☀️

Ah yes... the panic rez... xD Thanks for the video Niandra! CHEERS I SAY! o7

an amazing mercy guide

I got about 200 hours on her now it took me forever to learn how to fly her now I got her imp skin I’ve been having so much fun 😁

Mercy was the first character i tried to play when i started overwatch...whoever convinced she was the easiest support to player was a whole ass liar cuz i played one match and ditched her for Moira. I still want to learn how to play her

okay, I'm fully understand now 🙏

Omg, that little ping trick for rezzes is so handy! Was trying to figure out why "I can't ressurect them yet" kept pinging as can ressurect earlier today lol. That being said, console is buggy as all hell at times, so my assumption for anything that isn't working as expected is that its a bug and I just move on lmao.

i haven't even watched the video yet but it is already inspiring me to take a break from work just to play one Mercy game LMAO

Hiiii Best Guide Video on KZfaq

Im a victim of MMO mentality. If a dps, healer and a tank are all injured. My brain is hardwired to prioritize the tank because in MMOs usually if the tank is alive you'll be safe. That doesnt exist in OW.

I JUST BECAME A MERCY MAIN THANKS SO MUCH

I like the toggle beam setting I feel like it’s a lot easier and idk why I find it so weird to hold back and press space bar 😅 but that move works and looks so clean.. in my brain I feel like pressing back while my player is moving forward, I’ll lose all speed 😅 and with toggle beam enabled i find it easier to flick a 180 and look around without constantly holding mouse 1-2. Mercy is actually fun to play just because of her movement.

"At the time of this recording ..." 😂😂😂 So true.

Amazing video, as usual!

I'm impressed how anyone can play at this level lol. I can't even see who needs healed half of the time when you're flying around. There's way too much going on, and I can't process all the information that quick.

Damage boost people who are fighting and you can flick between the two beams if they are at full health but still being attacked which would lead to them being at full health longer than the other that isn’t being beamed or helped by supports in general, Supports are more important than some people think which is sad, By the way you can damage boost/heal Bob (Ashes ultimate),Makes him even more OP huh

Sweet video

wake up babe, new niandra video dropped

great information

I am playing mercy like once in a year, but I still clicked on this video cause of the cute picture on it

I genuinely didn't know that slingshot was a thing I am so dumb thx

i got annoyed that my crouch button was " Ctri " i think its just the default setting. but for me i changed that too " alt " next to my spacebar. so i dont have to stretch my fingers to reach it or dont have to worry about my hand slipping off. Just a tip, alt does good.

I like ur editing

I wanna learn her so bad thanks

9:31 what are your thoughts on the GA settings of holding vs toggle? For me, I like holding now for better control but it defaults to toggle and it took a long time to correct my muscle memory. I kind of wish when I was new someone told me about it so I could have just learned that. Similar to the newer GA to target options they have since added

recently i've found that prefer facing target is extremely buggy for me ever since they changed the way GA works. i do prefer beam target now, it has cleaned all of my problems with GA so far!

TYSM, I WANTED SO BAD TO BE A MERCY MERCY MAIN, THIS GUIDE HELPED ME A LOT❤❤
