In Overwatch 2, it has become easier than it already was. Mercy now can slingshot off her guardian angel in every direction. The distance you can slingshot is determined by how far you travel with your guardian angel. The height of Mercy’s super jump is also linked to the distance traveled in the guardian angel.

The super jump gets done during your guardian angel flight. You achieve guardian angel by using your assigned flight control on a nearby ally (you can see which control this is by looking in the bottom right corner of your HUD or Mercy’s controls in settings).

Whenever you use guardian angel, you will see a bar next to your reticle, which will determine the distance of your slingshot and the height of your super jump.

Why is Mercy’s Super Jump Useful?

Mercy is one of the most mobile supports in Overwatch 2. Her guardian angel is on a short cooldown which allows her to fly between heroes avoiding danger.

Mercy’s super jump adds a layer to her mobility. With the super jump, you can reach high grounds unattainable should your team have heroes who can not reach them.

Hollywood's second point is a map that comes to mind that shows off the super jump’s strength. Most heroes will need to take the elevators or use a mobility cooldown which is a longer cooldown than Mercy’s guardian angel. Mercy can move between long ground and high ground with relative ease.

Another use for the super jump is juking an incoming enemy. Is there a Reinhardt shatter coming your and your ally's way? Guardian angel to your ally and super jump to safety. Your teammate will likely still get shattered, but in this way, you have a better chance to survive and keep your ally alive.
