How to play Sojourn in Overwatch 2?
Put Power Slide to the best use
Sojourn’s Power Slide is a crucial part of her abilities that allows players to either quickly get away from a difficult fight or to get into a fight rather quickly. Furthermore, the Power Slide also allows Sojourn players to get to high grounds on the map by simply slide canceling. The slide-cancel plays a crucial part in repositioning from a fight where players are getting overwhelmed by multiple enemies.
That being said, Overwatch 2 players must learn when to use Sojourn’s Power Slide to the best of their advantage. If players times the Power Slide incorrectly, it could end up in a disaster for them; however, if players plan and execute it at the necessary moment, the Power Slide is sure to grant them an advantage over enemy players.
One of the best choices against tanks
Among all the DPS heroes in Overwatch 2, Sojourn is a great choice against the tank heroes, especially the heroes with shields. With Sojourn, players can easily break off the barrier shields that help the tanks protect themselves and their teammates.
While Sojourn players can simply fire at the barrier to break it off, shooting with the alt-fire of Railgun will help players break the shield barriers even quicker. The Railgun generates energy for alt fire at a faster rate while shooting at enemy players, the gun will still generate enough energy to help Sojourn pierce the barrier shields in due time. That being said, Sojourn is quite good to play against the tank heroes with a larger hitbox in Overwatch 2. Heroes like Reinhardt, Roadhog, and others are some examples of enemies with bigger hitboxes.
Try these combos
As a DPS Overwatch 2 hero, Sojourn works in synergy with a number of heroes, from other DPS heroes to tank heroes to support heroes. On that note, here are some examples players should try in-game.
