SOLDIER: 76 HERO COUNTERS

Soldier plays the mid-range game with consistent tracking, Helix Rockets for burst, and Biotic Field for self-sustain. He's strong but predictable. Beat him by either out-bursting Biotic Field healing or forcing him off the field. Lucio Speed Boost pushes past his effective range. Reinhardt walks through his damage with barrier. Genji Deflect sends tracking and rockets back at him.

Soldier: 76's top counters are Brigitte, Emre, and Reinhardt.

UltimateTactical Visor
Soldier: 76’s pinpoint targeting visor “locks” his aim on the threat closest to his crosshairs. If an enemy leaves his line of sight, Soldier: 76 can quickly switch to another target. His Helix Rockets however are not impacted by this. Damage falloff is disabled while Tactical Visor is active.

FAQ

  • Reinhardt, Brigitte, and Lucio all shut Soldier down by negating his mid-range advantage. Reinhardt Barrier Field blocks everything Soldier fires and forces him to reposition. Brigitte closes distance where his tracking advantage disappears. Lucio speed lets the team rush through Soldier's effective range before he gets value.

  • Soldier: 76 sits at B Tier right now with a 48.3% win rate and 19.2% pick rate across all ranks. Solid but not dominant. Works well in the right hands and team comps.

  • Burst him faster than Biotic Field heals. The field does 35 HP/s for 5 seconds. Any hero who deals more than 175 burst damage in that window kills him through it. Force him off the field by displacing him with knockback or CC, then he loses his sustain advantage.

  • Predictable kit with no surprises. Soldier has no CC, no escape beyond Sprint, and his damage is consistent but not bursty enough to one-shot anyone. Good teams heal through his damage. He's also worse than other hitscan at extreme range where Ashe and Widowmaker dominate.

  • Reinhardt Barrier Field blocks his entire output. Sigma Experimental Barrier does the same from range while Accretion punishes Soldier for standing still on Biotic Field. D.Va matrix eats Helix Rockets, his only burst tool.

  • Emre three-round burst outdamages Soldier at mid-range and ADS extends his effective distance further. Ashe scoped shots hit harder per shot and Dynamite forces Soldier off Biotic Field. Widowmaker one-shots him from ranges where his tracking falls off.

  • Brigitte walks into his face and Shield Bash interrupts Sprint escapes. Lucio speed aura lets the whole team close past 20 meters where Soldier loses accuracy. Juno damage boost on your own DPS out-values Biotic Field sustain.
