Zarya players get in here. Lets discuss strategies and tips on using her. Shes currently my main and I want to get better. Also whats skin are you using? Just got the Siberian one last night
I'M GOING FOR THE TOBLEDORE
>>339095876
>Let Roadhog grab you
>Pop shield
>Let him unload all over your forcefield
>Microwave him with your newly buffed damage output
>>339095876
>her
>Shes
people underestimate her too much
also mei belongs to zarya as does mercy and pharah
>>339096708
>>339095876
>rock the round as zarya with a good team
>end of round
>over 2k damage absorbed
>not a single point given to me
Do people not realize how much that might have helped the team to win???
>>339096841
>>339096927
>/fit/ going for the T H I C K E S T girl on the roster
It's like poetry.
>>339097037
the art where mei is just curvy instead of actually chubby/fat is my headcannon for how she actually is.
youd go for it too :^)
post your favorite zarya pics
>>339097595
theres not too many good ones out there yet, i wish more people liked zarya.
Zarya is probably the most un SJW character in the game
>Hates robots and human robot relationships
>Works out
>uses only 2 sex pronouns
>shield people taking damage
>shield yourself when taking damage
>left click single target
>right click aoe
you now can play zarya
>>339099249
noobs always use her shields at the wrong times and make her pretty much useless
>>339099249
you can simplify everything like that but a good zarya at work is like poetry. big impact ults like high noon pulse bomb and shit can be completely negated while she grenades people like we're in fucking quake again
or she could >>339099384 and be awfull
left click or right click when you catch people in the ultimate?
>>339099863
depends on how many you catch and what power youre at
if youre around 80% generally left click unless you got like 4 people
>>339099232
Zarya's pretty cool. I'd chill with her.
So someone tell me how the damage buff/ gun mechanics work. And what the number under her cursor means.
>>339100057
the number under her cursor is basically the power of your gun. as you block damage using shift and e, that number under your cursor gets bigger which basically means you do more damage. at 100%, you get dps that melts people in under a second and your grenades can one shot the lower hp pool people like dva out of mech
>>339096708
>>339096841
>>339096927
Pink hair bring all the tumblrs to the yard
not joking here
what does zarya do lol
>>339100541
see >>339099232
shes only tumblr because of her hair, and unlike tumblr shes actually capable of getting shit done
As a Reinhardt if I get into melee range of you am I likely to win the duel? I don't see Zarya much but I beat one up in one match and I'm not sure if it was luck or not.
>>339100340
Does it drain immediately or decays slowly?
>>339100650
as i said, hair attracts tublrettes
>>339100609
barriers that give invulnerability, laser gun that melts in close quarters that functions as a grenade launcher with alt fire, ult that is basically a black hole
>>339100667
depends on how charged her gun is and if her self barrier is off cooldown. at 50% and with her barrier she can easily down a reinhardt but otherwise you should come out on top. also. a smack and then charging her is a good way of dealing with her if 1. you dont miss and 2. she doesnt react fast enough with barrier
>>339100725
decays over time, and its pretty fast to stack back up
>>339100740
??????????????????????????????
Whenever I have a friendly Zarya on the team she never puts shields on me no matter what the circumstance is and I never feel like we have a tank who can actually push in and be a tank.
The only good thing they ever seem to do is occasionally use the ult. I'm sure she's got the potential to be useful but I just seem to draw in people who can't do it.
>>339095876
I'm glad I got her Arctic skin her classic design is awful but her VA and lines are top notch.
Mei and Junkrat team up is pretty good half the time, freezing and blowing shit up is fun.
>>339100839
>hey psst, tumblr, we have a character you might like
>But why is she xenophobic Russian muscular girl?
>But her hair is short and pink, see?
>Right! YOU GO GURL! *draws lesbian fanart*
>>339101116
but junkrats a bully and mei hates bullies
for real though thats fuckin cute
so which skin should i get? artic or siberian front? i wish i could see the guns so i can make a decision, retarded that blizzard doesnt have it included when you look at the skin ingame
>>339100839
>barriers that give invulnerability
they absorb 200 hp each
>>339102207
I thought they were full invulin for 2 seconds. 200 HP max means she's just a smaller hitboxes Roadhog.
>>339102207
you take 0 damage until it breaks, for what ever reason it may break. reinhardts charge does more than 200 and yet you take 0 damage from getting slammed if you have the barrier on you, which was my point.
>>339102207
If dmg happens all at once like dva's ult, zarya's shield takes all of the dmg
>>339098210
God damnit, I had forgotten about the original version of that image, now I have the feels again
Fuck you
>>339095876
>first 5 games with her once I realized shield/gun mechanic
>22 kill average with 4 deaths
So much fucking damage. That ult is such a powerful tool. It can easily push or defend a hard contested point. Only thing I hate is it almost never gets PotG but the person who does was someone just firing into the body ball I created.
>>339096085
even better
>wait for roadhog to hook someone else
>shield them
>instant 50% energy and he is completely thrown off they are still alive
>>339096923
2k Damage absorbed is nothing as Zarya.
You should be topping damage done if you are playing well.
>>339102417
>>339102345
>>339102325
Yes, however heroes like bastion just completely disregard the barriers, and with a team you can still just focus her down.
It blocks "status effects" like stuns and meis freeze though.
>>339102613
it is just one of her basic abilities to be fair, and yeah theres always a counter such as bastion out skilling you in his sentry form
>>339102420
ive only ever seen the soldier edit of it, whats the original?
>>339102956
Grandpa made dinner for 5 grandchildren, she was the only one to show up.
>>339103310
Then kikebook went apeshit on the rest of the family.
>>339103310
i dont know what i expected, and i should be made fun of for being this stupid
>>339103495
Just nasty remarks or death threats?
>never see anyone else play zarya
>meanwhile im dominating objectives with my alt fire, killing attack players like a hot knife through butter
>getting instant ults on roadhogs and reins with my main fire and shield
>playing support and keep my team alive at key moments with my friendly shield
She's everything I wished for and more. Since no one ever plays her, I can use her in almost every team.
>>339102097
anyone got screenshots of the whole skin with the guns?
When should I use leftclick and when should I use rightclick?
I have shielding and ulting down pretty well.
>>339103790
This
I feel like right click does negative damage
>>339095876
>Playing Zarya
Keep trying to place barriers on allies that are going to poke their head out into incoming fire.
>They keep getting sheepish and turning back.
I swear whenever I play her everyone loses any confidence in fighting so I end up only being able to shield myself.
>>339103790
see >>339099957
if its just 1 person and theyre in range, left click
the right click as far as damage per ammo is very inefficient but it also knocks them around and is more bursty. if you catch the team in an ult you can right click and splash everyone
>>339103883
low power i agree with you but when youre on high power its godly, but so is her left click at that point too
i REALLY wish it was more like a gauss rifle a la doom with the right click, the weapons design basically SCREAMS for it
>>339103883
Oh, my problem is the opposite. I pretty much only right click because more range and it does fat damage. I usually am not left clicking because of short range
>>339104025
its so satisfying to use the right click too. GBLOOSH as a giant deathball lurches out and destroys people
anyone got any potg webms with zarya?
>>339103595
Bit of both. Old man is a war veteran so her siblings deserved all the shit.
>>339095876
>anti-robots
>obnoxious smirking asshole face when flexing
>obnoxious pink hair for no reason
They couldn't make her any more unlikable if they tried.
>>339105067
WHOA THERE
seems like someones a wee bit rustled over one of best girls.
I picked her upt he past couple of days. She's now my most played hero. She fucking shreds, dude. She's insane. Noone expects it either right now, and her bubbles can deny fucking ults. Riptire? Bubble yourself, you're fine. Someone gets hooked? Bubble them, they get shot, you get energy. They live. You ult? Everyone will fucking die if someone can follow up/you have high energy to bomb those chuckle fucks to hell.
She's fucking glorious. With my gold that I got frompaying $40 for loot crates like a good shillI bought her arctic skin today. My first legendary buy with gold.
She's fucking great.
Just finished a game on Gibraltar with her, got PotG and 4 Gold medals. She's really good with a secondary tank like D.va and Winston or a front line offense hero like Hero 76 and Mcree who can jump in and give her charge. People really need to announce when their ulti's are up, it makes comboing so much easier.
>>339105267
comboing anything with zaryas ult really can usually result in the game's end
>>339105376
>5 man TOBLARONE
>reaper ults the bio ball and gets potg
>did fucking nothing but just stand there
I like the win but FUCK that shit. That ult would have killed 1 maybe 2 people if they were not in the gravity well.
Does her grenade launch do more damage? Or is it just for range?
>>339105530
ive never had this issue with zarya in over 12 hours of playtime on her alone
grenade launching into the mass of enemy usually nets me the kills instead
>>339105626
damage per ammo is less but the grenade does do fucktons of damage and is in some cases the more optimal thing to be using but generally it is for range
>>339095876
She's fucking great, works best when you have another tank or harasser to work with so you can keep yourself near 100 charge
>>339105190
about to buy one of her legendaries but i cant decide between siberian front and artic
>>339106165
Go for goth
It is delightfully awful
>>339106227
i just want to see her acutal gun for some of these legendaries
people complain about her base model hair but oh my god what have they done with goth
>>339106335
Give me a second and I'll see about uploading a screenshot on arctic(it'll basically be the same for siberian)
>>339106408
thanks!
>>339106486
>>339106486
>>339106645
>Keep getting all this awesome costumes and victory poses and other cool shit for Genji
>I don't even main him
>>339106713
>>339106645
that looks really nice, i think ill be getting artic then
what else do you like to use on zarya? as in like victory pose and potg intros and stuff? i really like her default POTG and i probably wont be changing that any time soon
>>339106986
I didn't get or buy anything else for her other than that skin. That being said, Deadlift is the best highlight intro for her. It's so badass.
>>339105190
>Winston leaps at McCree.jpg
>>339106986
for you to see everything she has goin on
>>339107558
I just hope she gets some actual good skins at some point, anything to change her hair to something not awful and not make her look like a tall Mei
>>339103310
After the pic went viral someone threw a public BBQ for him and thousands of people showed up.
Also his other grandkids had decent excuses for not being there, like living abroad and going to a wedding or something.
I've played mostly her. I constantly spam grenades, since it damages groups and splashes behind corners. I only use m1 against genji and pharahs or anyone flipping around.
She can be the only tank. You can bullshit your way through control points and payloads. When defending, her spam and presence can stop the enemy team on tracks.
I don't think going with reindhart is a good idea, since the team dmg becomes low, but she works well with other tanks.
There are situations when she's a lackluster or there are better options. If the enemy has impenetrable defense on a choke point (bullshitting your way past them just gets everyone killed), switching to reindhart might be necessary so your team can actually take them out. Also if the enemy team is just rolling through ignoring your team dmg, switch to winston, jump in and take their squishies out and they stop.
>>339108032
her with reinhardt if your offensive players are good is a monster to deal with, as nothing on your team should really be dying
>>339100609
She's either a good attacker if you have Mercy buff her, or she's best used as a last line defensive agent when shit is flying south for your team. Stand alone, she's so-so.
>>339095876
You want to get better?
Don't ever have a "main." It's the hallmark of a shitter.
>>339109829
>play in a full team of 5 other friends
>have roles we're all comfortable with
>"no you cant have a preference of who you play as cause that means youre bad!"
lol
>>339099987
imagine going to the gym with her
inb4 "I can lift more than you!"
>>339101116
>comfy as fuck Junkrat
This is super cute
>Mei and Junkrat team up is pretty good half the time
>half the time
u wot m8
>>339111286
theyre pretty stupid good together and part of why attacking on anubis/hanamura is cancer
