Reinhardt's shield is his greatest asset and learning to use it to cover your allies while maintaining its regenerating health points is crucial to being a good Reinhardt. Earthshatter causes Reinhardt to strike the ground with his hammer, knocking over and stunning any heroes within an area in front of him. You'd be surprised how many players never see this one coming.Įarthshatter - Reinhardt's ultimate isn't the devastating finisher that other heroes have, but when used with a bit of coordination it can be the catalyst to an entire team wipe. Charge can be used purely for its mobility, but it's always best to see if you can pin a hero along the way and ram them into something. Use it to attack pesky, out of range heroes like Widowmaker or Hanzo if you're getting tired of their harassment.Ĭharge - The famous last words of many have been "Reinhardt is too far away to be a threat." That's when he charges forward and pins them to a wall for an insta-kill.
Firestrike causes a lance of flame of erupt from his hammer and is capable of hitting multiple enemies at once. The shield only regenerates when Reinhardt isn't using it, so be careful to only deploy it when it's needed most.įire Strike - Reinhardt's only ranged ability is actually a pretty effective one when used well. He also will become a big target for anyone who can flank him, which can be worrying when you're torn between which side you should be blocking damage from. While using it, Reinhardt will move quite slowly and won't be able to attack. The only downside is, being so bulky, Reinhardt can only swing it about once per second.īarrier Field - The bread to Reinhardt's hammer-butter, Barrier Field is a regenerating energy shield that Reinhardt can use to absorb all kinds of incoming damage while still allowing teammate's attacks to pass through it. There's a good deal of reach with this weapon, and it will also damage any number of heroes caught within its swipe while pushing them back. Rocket Hammer - Reinhardt is one of the few melee-only characters in Overwatch, which isn't that much of a disadvantage when you realize how punishing a hammer to the face can be. If you like being the center of attention, Reinhardt will make sure you survive the spotlight. His Charge ability can pin enemies and close distances alarmingly quick, and his Fire Strike gives him a much-needed ranged attack for swatting down pesky flies like Widowmaker. But looking at him, you might think that all Reinhardt is good for is taking bullets for his team-and that's not the case at all. Overwatch's Reinhardt is your classic tank: He's got a giant-ass shield and a giant-ass hammer, and he can be the bane of any well-formed strategy when he's in the right place at the right time.
