Overwatch 2: Best Mercy Stadium Builds

In Overwatch 2, Season 16 marked the arrival of the latest Stadium gameplay mode. In this mode, players lock in a hero of their choice and compete over a series of mini-rounds to earn cash. At the end of each round, their cash can then be used to purchase Items to pair with unloackable Powers at the beginning of every other round – thus enabling players to craft their own custom hero builds.

However, creating the right hero builds in OW Stadium is often a daunting task, as you can’t change your mind about Powers once selected, and you only have a short phase at the beginning of each round to select your lineup. For this reason, players who are looking to get started on Mercy in Stadium can discover some of the best builds in this guide.
