How to beat Mercy
Support · Overwatch
The best counters to Mercy right now are Baptiste, Lúcio, and Juno, led by Baptiste at a +1.6 counter rating. Every hero below is ranked by how hard they beat Mercy in real duels and teamfights, all ranks, updated Jul 8, 2026.
Ratings blend one-on-one duel wins (two thirds) with teamfight impact (one third), from the kill feeds of community matches. Each hero's general strength is stripped out, so a high rating means the matchup itself is lopsided, not that the hero is simply strong. Match win rate is excluded on purpose: it punishes counter picks made from behind. Counters that work by blocking damage rather than dealing it, like D.Va's Defense Matrix, are understated by kill data.
