Stick together as Mei

Attack during Winston's ULT
As Winston, it is best to refrain from attacking during normal times and instead charge in during ULT. Winston's attack power is low during normal times, making it difficult to eliminate Mei. It is recommended to attack during ULT when his attack power increases.
