Overwatch 2: Best Tank Builds for Stadium Mode

Items

The Junker Queen build will also be all about skills, but now the focus isn’t only on resistance. This tank has one of the greatest offensive potentials of the class, and this is explored here. You can already see it in the first ability we recommend: Chop Chop will give you an additional charge of Carnage.

Some skills do increase your resistance, such as Bloodcrazed, but the main point is to make the most of your kit to eliminate enemies. Commanding Shout will start to hurt enemies, and its cooldown is literally zero when eliminating an opponent - thanks to Reckoner’s Roar and Let’s Go Win respectively.

Items have an almost exclusive function of providing Ability Power, with a few exceptions, such as Booming Voice, which also grants a 50% improvement to the radius of Commanding Shout, or Energized Bracers, which provides 10% Ability Lifesteal.

As for gameplay, Junker Queen is a bit difficult on its own, and this strategy doesn't help in this regard either, as you'll need to be more agile, since you'll have more skills at your disposal - such as the additional charge of Carnage and the resets on Commanding Shout’s cooldown.

But for those who’re already used to its gameplay, there won't be any major problems understanding the idea of ​​the build. Just advance with your team, use Commanding Shout to get extra health and move speed to ease the pressure. Always focus on eliminating as many opponents as possible, this’ll be relatively easy with the amount of offensive benefits that the items and skills will grant you. With this, Commanding Shout’s cooldown will be reset, so use it again to hunt for more kills.

Powers

The list is in order of priority, start the game with Chop Chop, then pick Let's Go Win and so on. The greatest flexibility is being able to choose to select Bloodcrazed before Reckoner's Roar, the order of these last two skills is personal for each player to choose.

Items

Reinhardt has been one of the most popular picks since Stadium’s release, but the extreme nerf he received in the last update left him out of the list. So, we brought in Zarya with a very flexible build.

Her barriers are used both for attacking and protecting, and they’re the stars of this strategy. The first three abilities - Major Flex, Containment Shield and Fission Field - are designed to specifically enhance this feature of the character.

With it, this single skill will start to knock enemies back, causing damage, in addition to healing you and increasing your move speed. If you use a barrier on an ally, another nearby teammate will also receive the feature thanks to Fission Field.

Many of her items also give Ability Power to further strengthen her. However, we’ll also look for weapon damage and Lifesteal, which allows you to get into riskier situations to get a kill or an important objective.

Overall, you’ll follow the same playstyle the character already guides you into. Just pay attention to when it’s necessary to advance or retreat to define the moment and the player on who you’ll use the barrier.

Powers

The list is in order of priority, start the game with Major Flex, then get Containment Shield, etc.

Aside from the big nerfs to Reinhardt, the tank meta in the stadium hasn't changed much after the mid-season update. I hope you’ve enjoyed this content, I'm available in the comments if you have any questions or suggestions.
