Since diving into the new Stadium mode in Overwatch 2, I can’t seem to get enough of it.
Picture this: a match that can stretch up to 7 rounds, where you and your team face off in multiple modes using a select group of heroes. What’s the twist? Each round rewards you with cash, which you can then spend on items, adding a clever MOBA-like layer to the game.
The synergy between various items, powers, and passives gives Overwatch 2 a fresh, almost unfamiliar vibe. Plus, the addition of third-person gameplay spices things up even more.
So you’ve just started with Stadium mode but are bogged down by the overwhelming list of perks and abilities in Overwatch 2? After sifting through countless "best build guides" online for Moira, I concluded they lack punch. Here’s my take on Moira’s build with some top tips for utilizing it effectively.
Top Powers for Moira in Overwatch 2 Stadium
| Round | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Round 1 | Cross-Orbal | [Biotic Orb] launches an additional [Biotic Orb] of the other type with reduced capacity by half. |
| Round 3 | Multiball | [Biotic Orb] launches 2 more orbs of the chosen type but with 85% lowered effectiveness. |
| Round 5 | Optimal Overflow | After using 50 [Biotic Energy], you launch the last selected [Biotic Orb] with a 75% duration reduction. |
| Round 7 | Phantasm | Using [Fade] generates a stationary copy of the last chosen [Biotic Orb] with reduced duration by half. |
Moira is known for being a somewhat notorious support hero, almost like a damage dealer in disguise. Her orbs and Biotic Grasp are perfect for players like me who aren’t sharpshooters, thanks to their area-of-effect nature. On consoles, you can speed up your joystick for quicker actions without compromising accuracy, unlike with hitscan heroes.
Remember, she’s fundamentally a support hero, and this build allows you to tap into both support and offense effectively.
The trick with this build? Scatter Biotic Orbs everywhere. The initial rank lets you pressure enemy damage dealers and healers, letting you heal while dishing out damage. Subsequent ranks unleash more orbs, excellent for both healing and pounding deal damage. This strategy is especially lethal in maps with tight spaces, turning even squishy DPS and support heroes into easy targets.
The items further elevate this build by boosting ability power and extending the reach of your orbs.
Best Items for Moira in Overwatch 2 Stadium
| Item Name | Description | Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| Nano Cola | +20% Ability Power. | Enhances both orb damage and healing, essential for Moira’s performance. |
| Smart Orbs | +5% Ability Power, [Biotic Orb] travels 50% slower when healing or dealing damage. | Handy for tracking foes and healers, though cautious use is advised if sending an orb far across the map. |
| Extendrils | +10% Ability Power, +30% [Biotic Orb] Tendril Range. | The increased range makes your orbs even more formidable. |
| Champion’s Kit | +40% Ability Power. | Expensive, but over extended matches, this allows up to a 100% boost in ability power, making it incredibly powerful. |
| Liquid Nitrogen | +25 Health, +10% Ability Power, slows enemy movement speed by 20% for 3 seconds after dealing ability damage. | Paired with Smart Orbs, this can consistently slow down adversaries, a game-changer that feels so strong it might get nerfed. |
Boosting Moira’s ability power is at the core of this build, enhancing both your offensive and healing capacities. While these items are foundational, feel free to mix in abilities that resonate with your personal playstyle.
After boosting Moira’s orb capabilities, lock onto weaker opponents and overwhelm them with orbs directly. With Smart Orbs, they’ll hover longer near targets, great for against airborne heroes like Mercy or Juno. Your healing orbs will travel along with you and your ally, deterring those sneaky attackers. Combine Smart Orbs with Liquid Nitrogen to slow heroes like Genji and Cassidy, effectively disrupting their plans. This combination is a powerhouse that might face future adjustments.
Focusing on stacking Ability +% items will maintain your damage and healing output consistently throughout matches, making Moira’s ultimate a formidable force. Deploy a death ball, follow with four more, and activate your ultimate for an astonishing wipeout of enemy teams.
Overwatch 2 Stadium: An Unexpected Delight
Overwatch 2’s new Stadium Mode is perhaps the most excitement I’ve experienced in the game for ages. It capitalizes on the success of the perk systems and adds the level of customization once promised in the ill-fated Overwatch 2 "Story Mode."
Balancing the game might take some time, as I’ve found Moira and Mei to be incredibly strong, while heroes like Ashe need a bit of attention. However, the potential is undeniable. Overwatch 2 continues to engage its fanbase, impressively well into its tenth year.
You can now dive into Overwatch 2’s Stadium Mode on Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Windows PC. Enjoy the game!
