Since Mauga was added to Overwatch 2, he has become a real threat to the lobby, so if you’re tired of losing to Mauga, here are the best counters to defeat him.
Mauga is the latest addition to the tanks lineup in Overwatch 2. Although the community welcomed him after his release, he has been responsible for some of the most oppressive metas and team compositions in the game.
This is thanks to his large health pool, the «Heart Stopper» ability to heal you despite taking damage from the whole team, and the fact that he can deal a ridiculous amount of damage with his weapon (which, of course, depends on how much self-healing he receives).
Undoubtedly, playing against Mauga is very difficult, especially after the mid-season 11 patch, which buffed Mauga (and all tanks in the game), once again making the Samoan the top meta pick.
So, if you’re looking for the best Mauga counters, here they are.
Best Counters Against Mauga in Overwatch 2
When it comes to countering Mauga, you’ll need to have plenty of crowd control (CC) abilities in your team. Ana’s Biotic Grenade, Sleep Dart, Sombra’s Hack, and EMP — these abilities can prevent him from attacking your team.
It’s also worth noting that Mauga’s ability to heal is linked to the amount of damage he deals, so heroes capable of absorbing his damage, like D.Va’s Defense Matrix, Sigma’s Kinetic Grasp, or any shield, will help.
Furthermore, considering that Mauga cannot put up shields like most tanks, he is a walking powerhouse battery for those who can attack him from a distance.
Below, we have listed the best heroes capable of countering Mauga in Overwatch 2.
Supports
Ana
Ana should be your main support when facing Mauga in matches.
When it comes to countering Mauga, Ana should be your first choice. Her Biotic Nade, to deny Mauga healing, is crucial for his instant elimination, as you take away his strongest advantage. So be sure to apply as many Biotic Nades to Mauga as possible to get the maximum benefit from her kit.
Zenyatta
Zenyatta’s Discord Orb can put a lot of pressure on Mauga.
When countering Mauga as Zenyatta, always apply Discord Orb to him, no matter what. The squishier you can make Mauga, the better, just make sure you don’t lose sight of him. Furthermore, his Transcendence can win team fights if used in Mauga’s Cage.
DPS
Bastion
Bastion’s Sentry mode deals significant damage, making him a reliable enemy against Mauga.
Bastion is a traditional tank buster, and when it comes to Mauga, he’s traditionally the number one choice. However, in the mid-season update of season 11, Bastion’s Sentry form is no longer enough, but that doesn’t make him obsolete. As long as you don’t engage in direct combat with him, Bastion can deal enough damage to kill him.
Sombra
