Freja build, powers, and items – Overwatch 2 Stadium

by

A strong construction for the Overwatch 2 character Freja, known as the Mercenary, effectively utilizes her mobility and charged abilities to create destructive possibilities. The synergy between Freja’s precision shots, updraft, and bola shot is unique, particularly when combined with an enhanced rate of fire for her standard attack. This allows you to manage significant areas of the map while remaining securely behind your team’s tank.

Our Overwatch 2 Stadium Freja build lists her best powers and items to get you to that point.

Overwatch 2 Stadium: Best powers for Freja

Freja can be constructed in various ways based on whether you focus on updrafts, precise shots, or a blend of skills; however, we recommend emphasizing her updraft powers due to their disruptive qualities. The sequence doesn’t matter significantly, but starting with Lille Faelde or Cyclone provides additional damage and crowd control options.

  • Lille Faelde – After using Updraft, your next Take Aim fires a Bola Shot that deals 60 percent reduced damage
  • So Cooked – Bola Shot’s damaging zone deals 50 percent more damage and lasts three seconds longer
  • Seismic Shot – Take Aim explosion radius increases by 33 percent. That radius doubles if the bolt sticks to an enemy
  • Cyclone – When you use Updraft, fire a Take Aim bolt at the location where your crosshairs were when you cast the ability

Generally speaking, when Freja goes airborne, it’s a signal for you to seek shelter, as something dangerous is imminent. Cyclone allows you to fire off a shot before properly aiming, making it unforeseen by your opponent. Lille Faelde works well independently, but also synergizes with one of Freja’s other abilities, So Cooked. This power amplifies the damage of the Bola Shot by 50%, extends the duration of the area effect for a few additional seconds, and any eliminations count towards Freja’s Bounty Hunting tally. Explosions from aimed shots rarely catch enemies who weren’t the intended target, but Seismic Shot overcomes this by increasing the blast radius up to 66% – 33% if the bolt sticks to a target.

As a fan, I’ve found Mighty Gust to be an awesome updraft ability that throws opponents off-balance and enhances aiming while airborne. It’s definitely worth giving it a try, but remember its effect range is quite limited. You’ll need to be fairly close for it to take full advantage of this power.

Overwatch 2 Stadium: Best items for Freja

In most cases, power in weapons is favored by damage-focused characters, but Freja, similar to Soldier 76, gains more advantage from weapon speed rather than power or a blend of both. Her Revdraw bolts are already sufficiently potent, and by increasing weapon speed alongside ammo, Freja can swiftly take out weaker adversaries. Even if she doesn’t secure an elimination, rapid-fire rounds will weaken them significantly, forcing healers to pay attention, and the high rate of fire enables Freja to guard chokepoints and prevent the opposing team from pushing forward.

A balanced approach is having 15-20% weapon power and 30% attack speed, but even good outcomes can be achieved with 30% attack speed and less weapon power. Piling up solely on weapon power still yields beneficial results if you consistently score multiple critical hits sequentially.

We brought on board Martian Mender primarily to extend Freja’s lifespan, but if budget is a concern, any other survivor item offering health or defense benefits will suffice instead.

  • Aftermarket Firing Pin – +10 percent attack speed and +five percent movement speed
  • Tracker Tag – +30 percent max ammo. When Take Aim bolts stick to a target, your attack speed increases by 20 percent for three seconds
  • Talon Modification Module – +15 percent weapon power
  • Commander’s Clip – +10 percent attack speed and +40 percent max ammo. When you use an ability, restore 10 percent of your max ammo
  • Tourniquet – +25 health. After using Updraft, reset Quick Dash’s cooldown and gain 50 Overhealth for three seconds
  • Martian Mender – +25 health and +10 percent cooldown reduction. Restore three percent of your max life every one second
