Who is the Best Hero in Battle for Olympus?
In Blizzard’s recent limited-time event, Battle for Olympus, players worldwide have been able to experiment with different Overwatch heroes to see who can come out on top. After a thorough analysis, we’re here to determine who reigns supreme: Hades Pharah takes the crown.
Battle for Olympus Summary
In this event, players battled it out using various Overwatch heroes, generating over 34.46 million kills. Pharah emerged as the ultimate winner, with Junker Queen taking a close second. Luccio and other heroes took a back seat, indicating that these heroes shine in other areas, like climbing, but struggle when it comes to raw overall kills.
Pharah: The Aerial Monster
Hades Pharah, specifically, has three reasons for her dominance. First, her high aerial mobility allows for easy rotation and quick respawns, making her the ultimate pick-and-click hero. Second, her Concussion Mine and MISSILE Barrage (when timed correctly) generate massive area damage, pushing opponents off the map quickly. Last but not least, Pharah’s sheer damage output on a concentrated target is difficult to contest.
Close-Call Contenders: Junker Queen and Omega
Despite Pharah’s impressive results, Junker Queen and Omega are worth acknowledging. Both heroes have excelled in specific situations but struggle against Pharah due to limitations in their mechanics. For instance, Queen’s long-range damage and her Junker’s Auto-Execution are remarkable, while Omega’s tankiness and Dragonfly support are valuable attributes. While they’re competitive in smaller maps or well-executed strategies, overall, they fall short.
Omega’s Tankiest Abilities:
| Heroes | Strengths | Strengths/Weakness |
|---|---|---|
| Omega | Dragongate Buster, High Health | Easy to Kite, Dependent on Team Synergy |
Junker Queen’s Offense:
| Heroes | Strengths | Strengths/Weakness |
|---|---|---|
| Junker Queen | Cattle Driver, Fast-Footed | High Priority Target, Less Effective on Larger Maps |
How to Counter a Pharah
If faced with Pharah, do not underestimating their Mobility. Utilize:
- Widowmaker’s sniping from a distance for easy hits
- Widowmaker’s Infila-kill to clear clusters with ease
- Pharah’s Concussion Mine can blind her (temporarily)
Keep an eye on your distance, rotate quickly, or focus fire to minimize those pesky MISSILE barrages.
When to Switch to Luccio and Other Heroes?
Other heroes, including Luccio, Sigma, and Lucio, excel at support or more specific strategies. For the Battle for Olympus, Hades Pharah is by far the most dominant figure, eclipsing the scores of its competitors. Whether it’s the aerial show, pinpoint damage, or sheer firepower, Pharah wins in three key areas over the contenders.
Sigma’s In-Game Contributions:
| Heroes | Strengths | Strengths/Weakness |
|---|---|---|
| Sigma | Gravitational Surge | Requires Team Coordination, Heavy Damage |
Now that Pharah has come out on top, understanding its tactics and weaknesses has become even more crucial when facing against this formidable airborne hero.
Conclusion and Next Steps
The world of Battle for Olympus can be treacherous; the choice of hero impacts your chance of success exponentially. From the top heroes, there’s a constant learning process, as adaptations to Pharah, Junker Queen, and even Omega**. Consider the following options for counter-strategies on smaller or larger maps by leveraging key strengths and hiding weaknesses of each hero type.
