High maximum HP

Bastion has a maximum HP of 300 and has the highest damage. The higher your HP, the more difficult it is to be defeated, making it easier to deal consistent damage.

I can feel the lack of firepower in the attack

Bastion's main attack hits enemies at a distance, but the damage is small. Configuration: Assault's Gatling gun can easily deal damage at close range, but it has no escape ability, so there is a high risk of defeat. Additionally, the overall firepower of the attack tends to underwhelming.

Strategy Guide

Take down enemies from a high ground with Configuration: Assault

It is recommended to take down enemies from a high ground with Bastion's Configuration: Assault. Configuration: Assault boasts high DPS, but movement speed decreases, making it vulnerable to concentrated fire when attacking from the front. By shooting from a high ground, you can minimize the damage you receive and effectively unleash your firepower by securing a line of sight.

Avoid engaging with long-range characters

When using Bastion, it is advisable to avoid engaging with long-range characters. Due to its large size, Bastion is an easy target for snipers, and with Configuration: Assault, its shots scatter in long-range engagements, resulting in reduced firepower. It is best to avoid engagements with long-range characters and focus on tanks and mid-range enemies.

Countermeasures

Anti-Pick: Genji

While Bastion's Sentry mode boasts high firepower, it can be easily countered by Genji's ability to deflect. By leveraging Genji's deflect ability, one can effectively neutralize the high firepower of the Sentry mode.

Compatible Characters

Baptiste and Mercy

Good synergy with allies who can enhance attack power

Bastion has 300 HP, which is the highest among damage characters. Due to their high HP, they can engage in combat for a longer period of time, making them well-suited for synergizing with Baptiste's Ultimate, which enhances attack power, and Mercy's damage boost.

Ability, Details, and Use

A-36 Tactical Grenade

Effective in close quarters

A-36 Tactical Grenade will bounce around, perfect for close quarters and trapping enemies who are hiding.

Stick it to approaching enemies

Stick the A-36 Tactical Grenade to approaching enemies. Once stuck, the grenade stays attached even if the enemy tries to run away. Use the maximum firepower of the grenade to chip away at their HP and secure the kill.

Reconfigure

Break shields quickly with high rate of fire

Transform into Configuration: Assault using Reconfigure, and break the tank's shield. Configuration: Assault has a high firepower attack that can be continuously fired for a certain amount of time, allowing you to quickly deplete the shield durability faster than any other character. When facing tanks with shields, prioritize targeting them.

Move forward after transforming into Configuration: Assault

After transforming into Configuration: Assault using Reconfigure, move forward towards the enemy. It is recommended to transform into Configuration: Assault and move forward immediately, as even if you move forward and transform with Configuration: Recon, you will be left vulnerable to concentrated fire during the transformation time. Transforming into Configuration: Assault allows you to quickly unleash maximum firepower.

【ULT】Artillery

Let's drop three shells without any gaps

Configuration: Launch the shells with the Tank and try to bomb without any gaps. The enemy can see where the shells land, so if there are gaps, they can easily avoid them. It is recommended to fill the gaps so that the enemy cannot dodge and bomb them.

Make the enemy retreat and divide them

Configuration: Use the Tank's bombardment to make the enemy retreat and divide them. Since the landing points are visible to the enemy, they will try to retreat from the bombardment. Take advantage of this to target the rear damage and support, make them retreat, and defeat the divided Tank.
