Overwatch 2’s top support streamer, ML7, showed off a powerful Moira trick that can double her healing output.

Since her release in Overwatch 1, Moira has been one of the game’s more controversial heroes thanks to her easy damage and high healing numbers – but that doesn’t mean it’s easy to get the most out of her.

Finding a balance between healing and doing damage is what makes Moira unique, and the fact that attacking helps fill her healing resource meter only amplifies this element of the Talon support.

In crucial moments, being able to hold down healing can be the difference between winning and losing games, and ML7 found a way to make sure your healing resources are more readily available through an “insane” method of doing damage.

ML7 reveals how to double Moira’s Overwatch healing output

During a recent broadcast, the Twitch streamer showcased a video made by CactusPuppy where Moira can refill her healing resource meter almost twice as fast.

By simply holding down Moira’s primary fire, it takes 5.22 seconds to go from empty to a full meter, but there’s an easier and faster way to fill it.

If you keep spamming the primary fire button as opposed to holding it down, you can fill it up two seconds faster.

However, if you use a scroll wheel, it’s even faster than that, saving 0.16 seconds. Of course, this would only apply for PC users or the dreaded ximmers on console.

“This is an insane tech,” ML7 explained. “Spam button can also work if it’s easier for you.”

In the comments, the streamer further noted that while this tech has been in the game for awhile, with Moira being dominant in Season 9, this trick would help a lot of new players.

It does come with one drawback, though. As users noted, this method does result in less damage being done, so it’s important to know when’s the best time to use it. If you’re in a position where your team desperately needs healing, this is the best way to make sure you can provide it.

Plus, healing multiple heroes at once will help you build your Collasence ultimate faster, which could end up turning the fight in your favor. This is definitely something every Moira player should keep in mind to help turn the tide in their ranked matches.
