Top 76 Stadium Builds for Soldier in Overwatch 2

In Season 16, the innovative Stadium gameplay mode was introduced in Overwatch 2, offering players an exciting, swiftly-moving alternative experience. In this mode, players select heroes from a limited roster, eliminating the need for counter-strategy swaps. During the game, they engage in multiple mini-matches to collect cash, which they can then invest in developing their hero’s abilities by choosing Powers and buying Items that complement them.

In the realm of Overwatch 2, constructing a Stadium build is no walk in the park. You’ve got a limited selection when it comes to Hero Powers, ranging from 2-4 based on the match length, and then you get to choose from various Items spread across three categories and three price/rarity tiers. With such a vast array of choices, it can be quite a challenge to figure out which combos work best. If you’re planning to unleash Soldier: 76 in Stadium, this guide presents two top-notch DPS builds for him in Overwatch 2.

Overwatch Stadium: Best Soldier: 76 Builds, Explained

Soldier: 76 consistently excels in various roles due to his versatile equipment setup. His primary fire delivers reliable damage, while Helix Rockets are ideal for eliminating targets. Additionally, he boasts excellent mobility on the ground with Sprint, and can heal himself or allies through Biotic Field, making him a character with multiple strategic advantages.

Two standout Stadium designs for this hero have arisen so far: one focuses on enhancing the power and destruction of his Helix Rocket, while the other emphasizes boosting and transforming his Biotic Field and mobility to let him zip across the battlefield, unleashing chaos. Here’s a breakdown of each strategy.

Overwatch Stadium: Rocket Soldier: 76 Build

Rocket Soldier: 76 Build – Powers

Round 1: Super Visor – After using Helix Rocket, activate Tactical Visor for 0.75s.

In the third round, during the use of the Tactical Visor, the Pulse Rifle will fire an extra shot at an enemy, inflicting half of its usual damage.

Round 5: Double Helix – Helix Rocket fires a second homing Helix Rocket that deals 70% damage.

7th Round: Chain Gun – As you keep firing the Pulse Rifle, every bullet enhances the weapon’s power by 0.5%, with a maximum of 100 enhancements accumulating.

This strategy enhances Soldier’s Helix Rockets and Pulse Rifle for massive damage, making short work of most enemy heroes except for exceptions like D.Va or Genji. The Helix Rocket now initiates with burst damage, providing Tactical Visor and amplifying weapon power while active with Chaingun. When combined with the right equipment, you can essentially one-shot the Helix and Visor combo against any fragile opponent if you have good positioning or flanking maneuvers. Due to its powerful burst damage, enemies often don’t have enough time to respond, particularly in a 1v1 situation. With precise aim and efficient cooldown management, you can become a formidable force by charging through the backline and eliminating squishy targets.

For the construction of this setup, focus on acquiring items that boost your damage output from abilities, since this significantly affects your Helix Rockets. Additionally, look for items that minimize your cooldown times or enhance your weapon speed, which will optimize your Helix build and accelerate the stacking of your Chaingun’s bonus power more efficiently.

To aid you in locating these items within the game, each one has been marked with a distinguishing symbol: [WPN] for weapons, [ABL] for abilities, and [SURV] for survival items. Some items might be discussed in various stages, allowing you to pick between making immediate large purchases early on to significantly boost your progress during the early-to-mid game or opting for a gradual improvement approach that benefits you throughout the mid-late stages of the match based on your preferences and available resources.

Round 1: Withdrawal: Foes within your Biotic Aura suffer damage equivalent to the healing power they possess.

Round 3: On Me! – Biotic Field moves with you and grants you 20% increased Max Life while active.

In the seventh round, Frontliners: Enhance allies inside your Aura with an additional 30% of your maximum health as temporary health points (Overhealth) for a duration of 3 seconds.

This strategy primarily focuses on boosting the capacity of your Biotic Field for maximum healing output by frequently reducing its cooldown, integrating it with sprint, and allowing it to harm enemies while simultaneously healing you and nearby teammates. In essence, you’ll be darting across the map rapidly to recharge your cooldown and strategically placing your Biotic Field to triumph in 1v1s or offer robust healing and Overhealth to allies. Overall, it’s a thrilling build that significantly enhances Soldier’s survivability due to his exceptional mobility.

For optimal performance in this construction, gather items that primarily focus on decreasing cooldowns and enhancing ability power.

Additionally, specific Soldier-related items can offer additional buffs and improvements to the Biotic Field, making them an excellent complement for this build.
