5 best heroes to duo with Moira in Overwatch 2

Moira in Overwatch 2 is one of the most popular Supports among the role’s roster. While her consistent healing and damage output are both mid-range at best, her simplicity, potential for easy damage output, and good mobility have cemented her role as a user-friendly Support - one that can be relied on if on the players’ team and be annoying to deal with if on the opposition.

Her stable damage output means she can synergize well with a bunch of other heroes in the 5v5 hero shooter game. Let’s look over some solid duos that should allow players to have the upper hand in skirmishes against other teams.

Before diving into the details, it is important to have a basic grasp of how to use Moira in Overwatch 2. Her main weapon is the Biotic Grasp, where the primary fire unleashes a short-range healing spray (which also heals over time), while the alt fire is a life-draining siphon that deals damage - and the latter requires little aiming skill as it is virtually point-and-click.

Moira in Overwatch 2 does not have infinite healing nor is it magazine-based like other heroes; instead it relies on a gauge called the Biotic Meter. This depletes upon using healing sprays and while it recharges over time, it can be replenished faster by dealing damage to foes.

The Biotic Orb ability allows throwing a bouncy orb that either heals (primary fire) allies or damages (alt fire) enemies. This has a much longer range than her main weapon as it can travel a much longer distance and ricochets off surfaces, meaning players can strategically bounce it off angles or inside corridors to ambush foes.

The second ability Fade is a movement ability that turns the Hero invisible and phases her out to the desired direction. It also cleanses most negative effects and makes her immune to damage. This is ideal for escaping the enemy's Ultimate abilities or being cornered. Jumping at the end of a Fade causes her to jump higher, further enhancing her movement kit.

Her Ultimate is called Coalescence where she fires a powerful beam that deals damage to foes heals allies and also passes through barriers. Moira in Overwatch 2 can use Fade during her Ultimate, unlike in the previous rendition of the game.

Ana

Ana covers Moira’s biggest weakness, i.e., range. Since the reputed sniper from Overwatch lore uses a long-ranged weapon to heal allies and damage foes, she can cover scenarios Moira cannot at the time. Ana is one of the few super-vulnerable heroes on the roster as she lacks any mobility options, however, the latter's Fade allows her to get to Ana’s side in an instant if the sniper is being dived by pesky DPS heroes such as Genji.

Speaking of which, Moira in Overwatch 2 is also the go-to Genji-repellant since her Biotic Grasp attack cannot be deflected by Genji and is very easy to aim even at a jumping cyber ninja. Ana’s Biotic Grenade applies the anti-heal debuff on foes, lowering their max health temporarily while also preventing all healing; this allows Moira to swoop in for the kill. Lastly, Ana’s Nano Boost can grant both a damage boost and damage reduction to Moira, making her even more deadly to face on the battlefield.

Zarya

The Russian weightlifter is one of the most feared Tanks heroes and pairing her with Moira in Overwatch 2 can be disastrous for the opposition, especially if players opt for a DPS Moira playstyle where they prioritize damage output over healing. In this case, Zarya can work alongside her, using her Projected Barrier to shield the Support Hero from powerful attacks, such as Soldier 76’s Helix Rockets or even Ultimate abilities like Reinhardt’s Earthshatter.

The Tank’s Ultimate also synergizes well with Moira as Graviton Surge launches a gravity well that sucks in foes and locks them in for the duration, thus making them vulnerable to Moira’s Coalescence

Mei

Mei, an extremely powerful DPS Hero, can use her Endothermic Blaster to deal damage to foes and slow them down with the primary fire, making them even easier targets for Moira in Overwatch 2. Her alt-fire is a mini-sniper in a lunchbox, and heavily damaged foes who are fleeing can be dived by Moira’s Fade to finish them off.

Her Ice Wall ability can block off enemy escape routes, once again pitting the opposition in a cage with the deadly Moira and her aim-to-damage primary fire. The Blizzard Ultimate is also very powerful, freezing enemies within its range - this makes them very vulnerable to being devoured by the player team, especially when paired with Coalescence.

Orisa

A beloved Tank hero, Orisa is an Omnic - an AI robot - and one of the tankiest characters in the game. Her high sustenance makes her a solid duo pick for Moira in Overwatch 2. For one, her Fortify ability grants her extra health while making her immune to critical hits and movement-related debuffs such as stun, slow, and even Ana’s Sleep Dart.

Additionally, Orisa’s Javelin Spin cancels any incoming projectiles. Both of these allow the Support Hero to use her as an aggressive shield while being aggressive herself. Lastly, the Tank’s Ultimate roots her to the ground and sweeps in all foes in her vicinity, grouping them up for insane damage from Coalescence

5) Baptiste

Another Support hero in Overwatch 2, the Haitian ex-Talon member is also an enabler of the DPS Moira playstyle. He is arguably the best Support in Overwatch 2 Season 9 thanks to his strong healing output while also being able to carry in the damage output scene. The alt-fire of his Biotic Launcher lobs a healing grenade that explodes for AOE (area of effect) healing at the target location, allowing the healing of multiple allies at once.

His Regenerative Burst ability both heals him and other allies around him instantly; paired with the strong vertical movement offered thanks to his Exo Boots and the Immortality Field that can prevent allies from dying, and he is one of the best heroes right now in the game.
