Teamwork is very important for Orisa to be a successful hero. To get the most out of her abilities, Orisa's teammates need to be nearby or in-sync. 。
Protective Barrier should be deployed between your own team and the bulk of the enemy team to defend everyone from enemy fire. It's especially helpful for advancing through narrow chokepoints, and when paired with a well-placed Supercharger, pushes onto points or through chokepoints suddenly become a lot easier.。
When attacking, Orisa's Fusion Driver isn't great at long distances given its spread, but can be devastating at close ranges. To make the most of an offensive play with Orisa, move in close with your team and use the Fortify ability to counteract enemies' defensive strikes and keep moving.。
When there are several enemies to take care of, Halt!
When there are several enemies to take care of, Halt! can be a very effective ability when used in sync with your teammates. You can also use Halt! and detonate it above a group of enemy players to hold them in one spot for a brief moment, which is perfect when paired with damaging area of effect ultimates like Pharah's, Tracer's or Hanzo's, or when used right before or after Reinhardt's or Zarya's for extended movement control. 。
