Summary & Playstyle
Tracer is one of Overwatch’s most mobile damage heroes, specializing in flanks and high-pressure backline disruption. With Blink and Recall, she can dart around fights, making her one of the hardest heroes to hit. Her Pulse Pistols deal high burst damage at close range, enabling her to finish squishy targets quickly. Tracer’s effectiveness depends on timing and precision. She must choose the right moment to dive in, secure kills, and disengage before being punished. Poorly timed Blinks or wasted Recalls make her extremely vulnerable. High-level Tracer play relies on constant pressure, forcing enemies to divert attention and resources toward peeling her. Tracer fits best in dive compositions, pairing with tanks like Winston or D.Va and supports like Kiriko. Her Pulse Bomb ultimate can secure picks or swing fights by eliminating key targets. For players who enjoy fast-paced, high-mechanical gameplay, Tracer provides limitless potential for outplays and game-changing moments.
