HP management with "Recall"

Tracer's ability "Recall" allows her to return to her previous position and state of health. The cooldown is 12 seconds, so it is necessary to think about how to navigate until it can be used again.

Fragile with Low Maximum HP

Tracer possesses the lowest maximum HP among the characters, standing at only 150. Successfully managing her abilities becomes crucial to compensate for this vulnerability, making her a challenging pick for beginners.

Strategy Guide

Engage and Attack Enemies with Blink

As Tracer, leverage Blink to engage enemies and unleash damage with your primary fire. Tracer's primary fire has low accuracy and significant distance falloff. To maximize damage, use Blink to close the distance and initiate your attacks effectively.

Exercise Caution in Head-on Confrontations Due to Low HP

Given Tracer's low HP and susceptibility to enemy fire, it's advisable to avoid direct head-on confrontations. Characters like Widowmaker and Ashe, known for their proficiency in long-range combat, can eliminate you with a single headshot. Evade direct confrontations and utilize Tracer's mobility for strategic flanking maneuvers.

Incorporate Melee Attacks Strategically

When playing as Tracer, actively incorporate melee attacks into your strategy. Dealing with highly mobile opponents or those who seek cover can be challenging. Melee attacks have an area of effect, increasing the likelihood of hitting even if your shots miss. Blend melee attacks with gunfire, providing versatility in your combat approach.

Countermeasures

Winston is the Counter-Pick

Tracer's exceptional mobility makes it challenging to land attacks on her. However, Winston's main attack doesn't demand precise aim and can deal damage effectively, making him a suitable anti-pick against Tracer.

Utilize Auto-Aim Characters for Damage

Given Tracer's evasive movement during teleportation, it becomes difficult to land precise attacks. In such situations, consider using characters like Winston or Moira, who can auto-aim their attacks, as Tracer has relatively low HP at 150.

Compatible Characters

Winston and Genji

Coordinate with Assaulting Allies

Tracer's high mobility allows her to swiftly approach enemies and deal damage, but taking on five enemies alone can be challenging. To maximize effectiveness, coordinate with assaulting allies such as Winston and Genji. By working together, you can initiate a joint offensive, creating a numerical advantage and increasing the chances of success.

Ability, Details, and Use

Blink

Utilize your mobility to flank enemies

Take advantage of Blink's mobility to flank enemies. Blink is one of the best mobility abilities in the game, so it is recommended to quickly move behind or alongside enemies, unleash your firepower, and disrupt them.

Avoid enemy attacks

Use Blink to dodge enemy attacks. Since Tracer has low HP, be mindful of your positioning and use Blink's teleportation to get behind enemies, all while avoiding their line of sight and dodging attacks.

Recall

Use it without hesitation when HP is low

Recall is a valuable healing tool for Tracer when her HP is low, but if you conserve it, you may be defeated with the next attack. Just losing one person can greatly widen the gap in battle, so prioritize surviving.

Be aware of your position 3 seconds ago

When using Recall, be aware of where you were 3 seconds ago. When activated, your HP and position will return to what they were 3 seconds ago, but if you return to the middle of enemy territory, you may find yourself in a difficult situation. When launching a surprise attack, it is important to attack from a position where you are not surrounded by enemies and use Recall before the 3 seconds pass.

【ULT】Pulse Bomb

Blink and Stick with Precision

Pulse Bomb stands as a potent support and damage ability, delivering 350 damage in one hit, capable of securing a kill with a direct hit. However, it has a limited range and follows a trajectory that drops in front of Tracer. To maximize its impact, use Blink to close the distance, aiming for a point-blank range to ensure a direct hit.

Effective when Combined with Ally Ultimates

Pulse Bomb becomes even more impactful when combined with ally ultimates. Pairing it with ultimates that impede enemy movement can compensate for the challenge of achieving a direct hit and opens up opportunities for securing multiple kills. Coordination with team ultimates enhances its overall firepower.

Character with compatible ULT

Blink Punch

Try to eliminate low-health enemies with Tracer's Blink Punch. The Blink Punch is a crucial technique for Tracer to deal guaranteed damage to enemies with low HP and secure the kill. Make sure to remember this technique.
