Stadium Mode is shaking up Overwatch's competitive and esports meta. The format is bringing unconventional playstyles and abilities to the forefront: Moira can launch both orb types at once, Mei can turn into a boulder with knockback, Ashe can release B.O.B. in half the usual Ultimate time and Soldier 76's Biotic Field can move with him. Let's explore the best Stadium Mode builds for each Overwatch hero and why they work.

In Stadium Mode, introduced in Season 16, Heroes progressively add more Powers and Armory Items to their kit, fundamentally changing their performance. Powers are free and gained based on the player's Hero level. A player can have up to four Powers per game, and twelve options exist for each Hero. However, powers cannot be unequipped once selected, so players must carefully pick the ones that align with their intended build.

Armory Items are smaller adjustments than Powers, but they still significantly impact a player's game. They come in three categories:

Within these three categories, three levels exist:

To buy Armory Items, players need Stadium Cash. Defeating enemies with bounties and impacting the game through damage, elims and heals grants this currency.
