Countering Zarya as a tank in Overwatch 2 requires a strategic approach and an understanding of her abilities. Zarya’s Particle Barrier and Projected Barrier make it challenging to deal direct damage, so alternative strategies are necessary.
One effective method is to focus on disrupting her energy gain. Abilities that can interrupt her beam, such as Roadhog’s Hook or D.Va’s Defense Matrix, can prevent her from building charge and using her ultimate, Graviton Surge. Additionally, heroes with high burst damage, like Junkrat or Pharah, can quickly eliminate Zarya before she has a chance to build up her energy.
