Counters Top 76 Soldiers in Overwatch 2 (Tips & Strategies)
As mentioned earlier, Soldier 76 lacks a huge amount of health and has a health bar of 200. You can use this attribute to counterattack and defeat him. We need heroes that can deal a lot of damage to him.
The following are some of the heroes that can counter Soldier 76 in Overwatch 2:
- Sigma
- Genji
- Roadhog
Now let’s take a look at some of the tips and strategies you can use for the aforementioned heroes.
Starting with Sigma, he is a tank-type hero that can heavily overpower Soldier 76. In the right hands, his abilities can not only protect a Soldier, but also finish him off. When you use Sigma, you can negate his abilities with Kinetic Grasp and Barrier. He can also deal more damage to his enemies with his Accretion ability followed by Hyperspheres. This can be a great way to prevent your enemy’s ult from building up.
Genji is another hero that can counter Soldier 76. Thanks to his agility and high speed, his TTK is also much faster than Soldier 76. He can deflect projectiles, missiles, and rockets straight from his enemies. On top of that, Genji is a rather stealthy character who can unleash several sneak attacks on his enemies. Lastly, Genji’s ult is also a pretty fantastic way to finish off Soldier 76. But be sure to use it at the right time. We suggest using his mobility and combos against Soldier 76 to deal some serious damage to him.
As mentioned earlier, Roadhog is a tanky hero with massive health. This way, you won’t have any issues dealing damage with Soldier 76. But to send him back to the spawn point, all you have to do is land the Chain Hook. When you pull out Soldier 76, shoot him with the shotgun. While this may take a while, you can check out our guide on how to play Roadhog to get an idea.
