Overwatch Symmetra players rejoiced when their favorite character got a big boost and a second ultimate move. Here are some helpful guides provided by a fan.
How to Use Energy Orb For Ultimate Charge
Reddit user Frogzone posted an interesting guide on how quickly charge Symmetra's energy orb. This is a strategy that will work well on point defense maps while waiting for the attacking team to spawn. Such an advantage can also help the defenders achieve early victory in their matches.
Some Caveat
This Overwatch Symmetra strategy is only effective in certain maps and certain conditions. Some heroes also have the ability to counter this move. This trick will not work with D.VA's Defense Matrix. The opposing Zarya will welcome the incoming energy orb as well. Opposing heroes who spawns in areas with windows might see the energy orb and simply run away from it.
Do This First
Overwatch Symmetra players should keep their first energy orb at maximum. After firing it, start charging for a second one while running close behind the first charge. This will increase the likelihood of inflicting maximum damage and unleashing your ultimate charge.
