A recentOverwatch 2clip shows Kiriko giving a helping hand to her Mercy teammate at the last possible second. Even though Support characters inOverwatch 2are often tasked with keeping their teammates alive, this video reveals that everyone needs saving once in a while.
Mercy is one of the eightSupport heroes inOverwatch 2, and she is a popular pick for several reasons. For example, her Caduceus Staff allows her to heal and amplify the damage of allies, and she has the power to resurrect teammates. In addition, Mercy has several movement abilities that let her maneuver effectively around the map. However, a recent clip revealed that these abilities are not always enough to save her during a fight, meaning that sometimes she needs a little help from a friendly player.

In a post on Reddit, a user known as SairAbbas shared a video they had recorded from a recent game ofOverwatch 2. Playing as Kiriko on the Dorado map, the clip showed the moment that the hero saved her Mercy teammate. The remarkable save transpired as the enemy team attempted to escort the payload to the third and final checkpoint. The clip uploaded to Reddit by SairAbbas began from the perspective of Kiriko as she tried to keep her teammates alive. However, after a few seconds, she realized something was wrong when she noticed the outline of her allied Mercy seemingly falling below the map’s boundaries.
Wasting no time, Kiriko rushed over to the edge of the ledge. Fortunately, thisallowed the allied Mercy to use Guardian Angelto fly upwards to Kiriko, narrowly avoiding falling to her death. Humorously, SairAbbas titled the clip “Heroes never die!” when posting it to Reddit. This was a reference to Mercy’s iconic voice line she says on the battlefield. However, this time it was her that needed saving.
Interestingly, SairAbbas included the perspective of Mercy when uploading the clip to Reddit. Watching the play from her view revealed that she had walked off the edge while attempting to escapeRamattra’s Ultimate ability, Annihilation. While the Support initially tried to recover by flying to a teammate, she could not clear the wall in front of her, which caused her to then slowly fall toward her doom. However, the video revealed that Mercy was able to lock on to her allied Kiriko at the last second before dying.
Since uploading this miraculous rescue inOverwatch 2to Reddit, numerous gamers have taken notice. With over 1.8K upvotes in only a day, many had something to say about the play. For example, some users said that “muscle memory” would have taken over for them, causing them to teleport to the Mercy instead. “On behalf of all mercy players, thank you,” another gamer commented. Hopefully, this clip and others similar to it remindOverwatch 2playersto always be on the lookout for teammates in need of assistance.
