When activated, Zarya fires an energy projectile in an arc.
Graviton Surge (Ultimate): Zarya's Ultimate ability. Using Projected Barrier on a stealthed Sombra will reveal her location to the enemy. Predict when an ally is about to take a large amount of damage and use it to both keep them alive and give yourself Energy. Much like Particle Barrier, the short duration of Projected Barrier means that you must choose an ideal time to use it. Projected Barrier has 2-seconds faster cooldown than Particle Barrier, which means that you can use it more often than the other one. Projected Barrier behaves otherwise identically to Particle Barrier in terms of damage absorption and immunity to negative effects. This ability auto-targets the ally closest to Zarya's crosshairs. Damage dealt to the Particle Barrier contributes to Zarya's Energy. Projected Barrier: When activated, Zarya grants the targeted ally a barrier that will completely surround them for a brief period of time, absorbing a large amount of damage and making them immune to all negative effects (such as knockback or stun) while the barrier holds. However, if Winston uses his ultimate and starts to swing at Zarya, it will now knock her back even if a protective barrier is active, since melee attacks pierce barriers. For example, if Zarya has a barrier on herself and is hit by one of Pharah’s concussive blasts, she won’t be affected, because the barrier blocked the effect. Zarya will receive knockback from any attack that pierce barriers. Particle Barrier is best used when you predict a sudden incoming burst of damage, such as running into a Reaper around a corner or when you see Junkrat's RIP-Tire getting within explosion range. Don't activate it unless your enemies are already firing at you. It has a lengthy cooldown time and a short duration, leaving Zarya vulnerable during the time when it's down. Be cautious when activating Particle Barrier. Damage dealt to the Particle Barrier contributes to her Energy. 
Particle Barrier: When activated, Zarya will completely surround herself with a barrier for a brief period of time, absorbing a large amount of damage and making her immune to all negative effects (such as knockback or stun) while the barrier holds. Contrary to some reports, it does not ignore enemy armor. The primary fire pierces Genji's Deflect and D.Va's Defense Matrix. Switch between the two depending on the situation. The primary fire is useful for taking down single targets, while the secondary fire is useful for damaging groups or hitting particularly evasive enemies like Tracer. This detonation will damage Zarya the damage will be negated by Particle Barrier, but does not return any Energy. 
The secondary fire consumes more ammunition and shoots out a grenade-like ball of energy that detonates when it hits an enemy or solid surface, dealing damage in an area. The primary fire, when held down, shoots out a hitscan beam that deals continuous damage to the first enemy it hits. At high Energy levels, Zarya is a significant damage dealer that the enemy team ignores at their peril. At low Energy levels, Zarya isn't much of a threat.
Maintaining a high level of Energy is critical to Zarya's gameplay. Energy will slowly decay over time at 1.8% every second. For every 1 Energy Zarya has, the damage of her Particle Cannon is increased by approximately. Energy is gained when her Particle Barrier or Projected Barrier absorb damage, at a rate of 1% energy for every 5 points of damage absorbed. Energy (Passive): Zarya spawns with 0 Energy and can gain a maximum of 100 Energy. She is heavily reliant on her teammates to charge up her Energy, provide cover/healing when she is out of position, and coordinate with her ultimate. Her Ultimate has some of the highest play-making potential in the game, with the ability to trap entire teams in a single spot for her allies to fire upon.Īll of this comes with a severe weakness: she is the softest of the Tanks, with the lowest base Health out of them (save for Orisa), no movement abilities, and only an infrequent, short-duration barrier to protect her and her team. At maximum Energy, she is a monstrous threat to the enemy team, tearing them apart in seconds with her Particle Cannon. She gains Energy by absorbing damage with her barrier abilities, increasing her own damage substantially. Zarya is a challenging Tank to play, though one of the most rewarding when played well.
