Cassidy build, powers, and items – Overwatch 2 Stadium

by

In Overwatch 2 Stadium, there are multiple ways to construct a potent Cassidy build, yet many of his abilities revolve around his ultimate. This makes sense considering its strength; however, this setup keeps Cassidy playing much as usual throughout the game.

In this guide for our Overwatch 2 stadium version of character Cassidy, we outline the optimal skills and equipment to enhance his abilities and Peacemaker firepower, all while extending his lifespan.

Overwatch 2 Stadium: Best powers for Cassidy 

Instead of relying solely on Cassidy’s precision aiming and a powerful single attack, we’ve chosen to enhance his Combat Roll abilities, making it easier for him to harm nearby opponents. Additionally, his other powers either amplify his Deadeye ultimate or collaborate with additional items to temporarily boost his ammunition and overall attacking power. While these builds are effective, this strategy allows Cassidy to excel in various situations without requiring pinpoint accuracy.

The strategy involves Cassidy dealing damage to opponents from afar, then closing in with a swift roll to reload and inflict damage upon enemies in close proximity. He can finish off nearby foes using his auto-aim ability. The plan relies heavily on the Combat Roll; however, you could replace it with an alternative skill like Full House, which boosts Cassidy’s damage output based on his remaining ammunition.

Consider reviewing the list we’ve provided in the sequence that seems most appropriate for acquiring the powers. But, if keeping Cassidy alive is proving challenging for you, think about buying Just Roll With It sooner or even switching to Full House entirely, especially if you’re skilled at avoiding elimination.

  • Quick Draw – After using Combat Roll, Peacekeeper’s primary fire (Cassidy’s basic attack) can auto-aim within nine meters while Combat Roll is in cooldown
  • Barrel Roll – Combat Roll takes you 50 percent further and deals 65 damage to enemies
  • Think Flasht – When you start a Combat Roll, leave a Flashbang behind
  • Just Roll With It – Prevent damage during Combat Roll and heal 30 percent of your HP over three seconds after using Combat Roll

This option amplifies Cassidy’s role as an attacker by boosting his attack rate and base attack potency. The Commander’s Clip and Quickload Chamber enable Cassidy to maximize his basic attack efficiency after dashing into a group of foes, and they complement Full House effectively if you opt for that skill instead.

  • Codebreaker – 15 percent weapon power, ignore 50 percent armor damage reduction
  • Volskaya Ordnance – 10 percent attack speed, deal five percent more damage for every 100 more HP your target has compared to your HP, to a maximum of 25 percent
  • Commander’s Clip – 10 percent attack speed, 40 percent ammo capacity, using an ability restores 10 percent max ammo
  • The Closer – 20 percent weapon power, 10 percent critical damage, critical hits “reveal” an enemy for three seconds
  • Quickload Chamber – +20 percent reload speed and adds 20 percent of max ammo as extra ammo
  • Competitive Analysis – +20 percent weapon lifesteal. Deals 15 percent more primary fire damage to enemies in the Damage role

Overwatch 2 Stadium: Best normal items for Cassidy

Instead of purchasing powerful or rare items right away, it might be wise to pick up some common-tier items from the Stadium Store during the early stages of the game.

  • Ammo Reserves – +20 percent max ammo
  • Armored Vest – +25 armor
  • Plasma Converter – +5 percent weapon lifesteal

These may not qualify Cassidy for the final round, yet they undeniably enhance her initial strength and resilience.
