Strategy
Orisa is an anchor tank, meaning her team will get more benefit when grouping and coordinating around her. Fusion Driver`s cannon shell is a projectile; on one hand it has travel time, but on the other hand it has no damage falloff. This makes it useful against enemies at long range, provided the player can properly lead the shots if the enemy is moving. Her Protective Barrier is best used on choke points, and to suppress enemies. Orisa can use Halt! to pull enemies out of position, or coordinated with allies` abilities much like Zarya`s ultimate Graviton Surge. Fortify has no downside; she can freely use it to increase her tanking power. Her Supercharger increases the damage output of her allies, but the device can be destroyed. While Orisa has strong front-facing defense, she is weak to flankers who can get behind her due to her low mobility. Considering that her barrier is an unmovable object, and that her weapon can`t attack multiple foes at close range, she is vulnerable when surrounded or being attacked from other angles. As she is a fairly large target, and her combined health with her barrier is less than Reinhardt`s, she is vulnerable to being taken down by a heavy damage dealer, or a sniper who can pick at her from extreme range.
Weapons & Abilities
- Fusion Driver Orisa "Your safety is my primary concern." Status Active Age 1 month Occupation Guardian Robot Base Numbani Affiliation None Relations Efi Oladele (creator) Voice Cherrelle Skeete 1] Cosmetics Cosmetic page Quotes Quotation page Role Tank : Orisa`s primary weapon. It`s an automatic weapon that fires projectiles with a high speed. It has a very large magazine, allowing her to spam the enemies` group. It has some slight spread, making it less effective against the target in extreme range. The downside of using this weapon is that it slows her movement speed while firing by half.
- Since it is a projectile, Fusion Driver`s bullets don`t suffer from damage falloff, which is useful for attack targets in any range, though you will have to lead the targets to do so.
- While it can spam bullets at the target, Orisa is very slow while firing. If she engages a group of enemies, retreating without return fire should be a better option.
- Don`t reload too frequently. Reloading Fusion Driver takes around 2.5 seconds, which will leave her vulnerable to enemy fire. Make use of all of her bullets before reload, or just reload when she`s not facing the enemy.
- The Fusion Driver can headshot, and since it doesn`t suffer damage falloff, try to aim for the heads of your enemies if you can to quickly take them out.
- Halt!: Orisa launchs a graviton ball that moves in a straight line. The ball will travel slowly for an unlimited distance until it hits a solid surface. She can re-activate the ability by pressing the same button again. After a short delay, it will slow all enemies around the orb and pull them to its center before it disappears.
- Halt! is essentially a pint-sized Graviton Surge. It can pull enemies away from cover or Health Packs, and if fired (and activated) in the right time and place, it can pull enemies to their death, for instance, pulling them into Ilios` Well section`s big hole.
- The projectile flies through an enemy`s barrier, but the pulling effect doesn`t go through. For instance, detonating Halt! in front of a Reinhardt`s shield will have no effect, but if you let it pass through his shield and then detonate it, it will pull him, as well as any nearby allies, towards it.
- Consider where and when to pull the enemies; Orisa`s teammates might be able to combo their abilities for maximum effect.
- Fortify: A personal effect ability, Fortify will provide Orisa with a 50% damage reduction over a period of four seconds, and block many hero abilities that would cause movement penalties.
- The abilities that can be blocked are listed above in the `abilities` section.
- Fortify does not negate the effects of an enemy Ultimate on allies positioned behind Orisa, an Earthshatter and Graviton Surge will still affect friendlies.
- Fortify is an extremely useful ability, whether used as an escape strategy or tanking mechanism it has many uses depending on the situation.
- Protective Barrier: Orisa shoot will a slow arcing projectile that turns into a barrier when hitting a surface. Cooldown starts after throwing the projectile; not after the barrier is depleted.
- If her barrier recharges before the cooldown of the previous barrier is over, launching a second barrier will make the first one disappear. Thus, it is not possible to have two barriers at once. It is, be that as it may, possible to throw the second barrier at the same spot of the first, effectively "refreshing" the previous barrier with full health and duration.
- Don`t always feel that you need to deploy a new barrier as soon as your cooldown wears off. Be that as it may, if your existing barrier is low on health and your enemies aren`t currently attacking, it may be wise to "refresh" your barrier so that it`s fully healed when your enemies return.
- The barrier doesn`t disappear after Orisa dies.
- Protective Barrier can be attached on objects like basketballs, and the basketball or the object that holds the Barrier can be picked up by Symmetra Symmetra "The true enemy of humanity is disorder."

- Supercharger Orisa "Your safety is my primary concern." Status Active Age 1 month Occupation Guardian Robot Base Numbani Affiliation None Relations Efi Oladele (creator) Voice Cherrelle Skeete 1] Cosmetics Cosmetic page Quotes Quotation page Role Tank (Ultimate): Orisa`s Ultimate Ultimate abilities (Commonly referred to by players as Ults ) are powerful abilities only available to a hero once their Ultimate Meter has filled. Progress towards an Ultimate persists through death. The Ultimate Meter fills by ability. She deploys a device, called "The Drum", directly at her feet, which provides provide all allied characters in line of sight with a 50% damage boost, as long as they stay in range of the device and within line of sight. The device will last for a long time until it disappears or is destroyed by the enemies.
- Supercharger is not a projectile ultimate, as it does not leave Orisa’s hands until placed, as such it cannot be absorbed by D.Va D.Va “I play to win.” Real Name Hana Song (송하나) Age 19 Nationality Korean Occupation Competitive StarCraft player (formerly)Mech PilotActress Base Busan, South Korea Affiliation Mobile Exo-Force Voice Charlet Chung 1] (English) Genevieve Doang (French)Julia ’s Defense Matrix D.Va “I play to win.” Real Name Hana Song (송하나) Age 19 Nationality Korean Occupation Competitive StarCraft player (formerly)Mech PilotActress Base Busan, South Korea Affiliation Mobile Exo-Force Voice Charlet Chung 1] (English) Genevieve Doang (French)Julia .
- The drum is a destructible item; with its health being only 200 and being stationary device, it is easily destroyed by focus fire from the enemy.
- Try to place the Ultimate behind a corner or hero shield to provide some protection, however it still remains exposed to heroes that can deal long range damage like Pharah or Widowmaker. It can also succumb to shield piercing attacks like Symmetra’s alt fire and Reinhardt’s Fire Strike, and is weak to flankers like Tracer or Sombra.
- Note that low walls that obscure more than 50% of the drum will block line of sight even if the top of the Drum is visible.
- The Ultimate can be affected by Sombra’s EMP and will be inactive during the hack duration, however if the hack ends before Orisa’s Ultimate does, the Drum will reinitialize.
- The Ultimate`s damage boost will stack with Ana’s Nano-Boost providing a 100% total damage increase to the affected hero.
- When activating your Supercharger, always try to deploy your Protective Barrier first. This will help increase the survivabilty of your Supercharger, while simultaneously protecting allies who choose to fight closer to it.
- While you normally want to place your Supercharger far enough from the action that it won`t be destroyed in the crossfire, you can often utilize the geography of the area to provide smart protection for your Supercharger. Simply place your Supercharger close to a wall (such as the interior of a capture point area) and deploy your Protective Barrier around the front of it so it`s protected on all sides. While prolonged enemy fire can eventually destroy the barrier and your Supercharger, if enough teammates are fighting close to you when you deploy, you should have no difficulty wiping out or driving back the enemy team before they can destroy your Supercharger.
General strategies
- Orisa is a hero that excels at creating openings in the enemy defense by using her Halt! ability to pull people out of position, or just pulling someone off of the map to kill them.
- Orisa isn`t a glass cannon like Bastion under Configuration: Sentry, she will have a much harder time when engaging multiple foes, especially when they are close.
- Use Halt! to grab the enemy Reinhardt and make an opening for your team`s Reinhardt to use his ultimate.
- Use your Halt! ability to help catch characters such as Tracer and Genji so that your Roadhog can have an easier hook.
- Stand in front of your Projected Barrier while Fortify is active to soak up some damage and keep the barrier up as long as possible. Just watch your health.
- Use your Halt! ability to force a Bastion out of position, so that he has to break Configuration: Sentry and waste time repositioning himself.
- Protect your Supercharger with a Barrier and by bullet blocking with Fortify.
- Use Fortify and body block characters like McCree while they use their ultimate.
- Use your Halt! ability to take enemies off of the high ground.
- To help out a Tracer get a multi kill with her Ultimate, launch Halt! and time the pull so that the stuck target gets pulled to their allies.
- Use your Halt! ability to help your Roadhog hook important targets such as Mercy and Ana.
- After a Graviton Surge is used on your team use Fortify and body block the damage for the entire duration.
- Pulling an enemy into or out of a choke point will be a useful ability to master when using this hero.
- Use Halt! to pull snipers and support out of a defensive position to bring them out in the open and easier to kill
- If an ally is preparing to use an Ultimate ability, use Halt! to cluster the enemy team together to make them easier targets.
- Upon activating Supercharger, the enemy team may attempt to flee; quickly follow up with Halt! to make sure they endure the full force of your team`s attack.
- When deploying your Protective Barrier, gradually place them further and further up so your team can gradually gain ground. Always try to fight from behind the barrier if you can; you have strong ranged firepower, and your barrier can compensate for your comparatively low health for a Tank hero.
- Try not to activate Fortify while your Protective Barrier is active, as it can be used to absorb the brunt of the enemy`s attack. Fortify is a good panic button to use when a Reinhardt is approaching with a charge, or a Roadhog activates his Ultimate, and shouldn`t be used constantly but rather saved for emergencies or when your Protective Barrier is destroyed.
- When deploying Supercharger, always try to deploy a Protective Barrier to keep it safe.
