How to get Mercy to resurrect dead teammates in Overwatch 2

Here’s how to use the Mercy Resurrect ability to bring dead teammates back to life.

• PC: E key
• Xbox: RB
• PS4/PS5: R1
• Nintendo Switch: R

Things to keep in mind when playing Mercy

• Make sure there are other squad members covering you while you revive a teammate because a short animation plays out.
• If you are surrounded by enemies and there are almost no team members around you, decide if you want to respawn or escape by flying away.
• Another thing to consider is who to revive – it’s best to revive your tank or your most effective DPS hero.
• Mercy’s revive ability has a 20 second cooldown, so use it wisely.
• She works quite well with some heroes, and forming a two-hero combo can help you dominate the match.
• Being Mercy makes you a target for enemies, as your teammates won’t die due to your constant healing. Because of this, don’t go out alone and retreat if you find yourself alone.
• Your weapons aren’t very powerful, so your main goal as Angel should be to heal the team and use Guardian Angel and Valkyrie abilities to keep moving around the map.
