Adjustment Details
Coalescence Ability	Buff Decreased the required cost by 5%

ULT is now easier to activate

Moira has been adjusted to make it easier to activate her ULT. Originally, her ULT charge speed was already fast due to her ease of attacking and healing, but with this adjustment, it becomes even easier to activate.

Evacuate even when surrounded by enemies

Moira has one of the highest survival abilities as a support character. To the point that she can even evacuate while surrounded by enemies. The Biotic Orb also allows for self-healing, giving Fade increased movement speed and invincibility, allowing him to retreat and rendezvous with allies even when surrounded by enemies.

Easy to damage even high-mobility characters

Moira's sub-fire can easily damage high-mobility characters. Even if you don't aim accurately, the sub-shot will automatically hit the enemy if it is in the center of the screen. You can easily apply firepower to characters that are difficult to hit, such as Genji and Tracer, so let's deal damage to the enemy and drive them back.

There's nothing you can do about long range attacks

Moira's secondary fire only reaches medium range, so there is nothing that can be done against characters who attack from outside the range. Characters like Pharah and Widowmaker that aim at you from a distance will be shot one-sidedly, so try to escape from the line of fire and attack when they get close.

Strategy Guide

Check the Biotic Energy Level

Pay attention to Moira's Biotic Energy level. If the Biotic Energy runs out, she won't be able to heal. As time passes and you use her secondary fire, the damage and healing increase. So when using Moira, be aware of both attacking and healing.

Attack when teammates have plenty of HP

If your teammates have plenty of HP, join in the attack as Moira. She can deal damage easily, but if you get too focused on defeating the enemy and neglect healing, your teammates may be defeated, resulting in a loss for the game. Focus mainly on healing while keeping an eye on the HP situation to participate in attacking.

Actively attack swift enemies

When using Moira, actively attack swift enemies. Characters with high mobility like Genji and Tracer can be difficult to hit, but Moira's secondary fire automatically tracks to a certain extent, making it easier to deal damage. Make sure to target swift enemies like Genji actively.

Countermeasures

The counter pick is Widowmaker

The weakness of Moira is her short attack range. Therefore, use Widowmaker, who can attack from long range, to deal damage and take her down safely.

Choose characters that can attack from outside Moira's range

For characters like Widowmaker and Pharah, who excel in long-range attacks, Moira has no means of attacking them alone. Choose characters who can attack Moira from beyond her range and take her down from a safe position.

Compatible Characters

There is no special character with good compatibility

Capable of healing and attacking in any situation

Moira can effectively heal and deal damage in any map and with any team composition. Her secondary fire automatically hits enemies, her primary fire can heal at close to medium range, and her Biotic Orb can heal distant allies. If you're unsure which support hero to pick, choose Moira.

Ability, Details, and Use

Biotic Orb

Effective to use in confined spaces

Biotic Orb is effective when used in confined spaces because it deflects off walls. Whether it is a healing orb or a damage orb, it bounces around the vicinity, allowing for effective use of abilities for both allies and enemies.

Use damage orb when there is room to spare

Only use the damage orb of Biotic Orb when allies have plenty of HP. While Moira is a support hero that can deal damage easily, she cannot heal allies while focusing on attacking. It is best to primarily use the healing orb.

Fade

Use Fade without hesitation when in danger

When you feel like you're about to be defeated, don't hesitate to use Fade. If Moira, who is the support, is taken down, the healing output of your teammates decreases, posing a risk of complete annihilation. With a short cooldown of 6 seconds, make sure to quickly retreat before being killed.

Move out of the enemy's line of sight

When using Fade, try to move out of the line of sight of the targeted enemy. Even if you can escape by becoming transparent, you will still be targeted within the enemy's line of sight. It is recommended to hide behind indoor areas or obstacles.

Jump during Fade to travel further

When your movement speed is increased with Fade, jumping towards the end of the effect will provide additional speed, allowing you to jump further. This is useful when returning to the front line or when you want to distance yourself from the enemy, so remember to do it.

【ULT】Coalescence

Capturing Allies and Enemies in a Straight Line

Coalescence allows you to shoot while capturing allies and enemies in a straight line. Since it pierces through allies and enemies, you can efficiently demonstrate both healing to allies and damage to enemies by capturing them in a straight line.

Use it When Allies are in a Pinch

When allies are in a pinch, feel free to use Coalescence. Although Coalescence does not have a support performance that can counter enemy ultimates, it charges quickly, so you can shoot it without hesitation in critical situations.
