GOOD4 PICKS

Doomfist Good Tank S

Mobility lets Doomfist keep pace with Moira and continue pressure through attempted disengages.

  • CLEAN ENGAGE REQUIRED
HOW TO PLAY IT

Save Fade for Doomfist's Rocket Punch or slam. Stay near your team so his engage lands into your crossfire.

PERK PICK LeanDefault build

MinorDestruction's DivideMajorPhantom Step

Doomfist plays as an initiator, so anti-dive and crowd control matter most. Destruction's Divide brings peel; Phantom Step brings mobility and anti-dive.

Reaper Good Damage C

High close-range damage and self-sustain punish Moira when they commit into short-range fights.

  • CLOSE-RANGE MAPS
HOW TO PLAY IT

Don't duel Reaper up close. Stay at range, keep Fade to escape, and let your team burst him when he commits.

PERK PICK Solid pickDefault build

MinorDestruction's DivideMajorPhantom Step

PERK PICK Solid pickDefault build

MinorDestruction's DivideMajorPhantom Step

Wrecking Ball plays as an initiator, so anti-dive and crowd control matter most. Destruction's Divide brings peel; Phantom Step brings mobility and anti-dive.

SITUATIONAL2 PICKS

Roadhog Situational Tank C

Hook can displace Moira when Fade is unavailable; the new spacing requires follow-up instead of assuming an immediate solo kill.

  • TIMING AND TEAM FOLLOW-UP
HOW TO PLAY IT

Keep Fade for disengaging and play near cover. Do not spend it to enter a hook lane without an exit.

PERK PICK Solid pick

MinorDestruction's DivideMajorReversal

Roadhog plays as a bruiser, so burst and duels matter most. Destruction's Divide brings burst and peel; Reversal brings peel and area damage.

Reinhardt Situational Tank S

Shielded approach and close-range pressure reduce Moira's poke value and force a direct brawl.

  • MAP OR COMP DEPENDENT
  • CLOSE-RANGE MAPS
HOW TO PLAY IT

Don't walk into Reinhardt's hammer range. Fade out when he charges in, and heal from behind your own tank.

PERK PICK Solid pick

MinorDestruction's DivideMajorReversal

Reinhardt plays as a stalwart, so anti-barrier and area damage matter most. Destruction's Divide brings burst; Reversal brings area damage.
