A dedicated single-target pocket built around Supply Surge and Threads of Fate, supercharging one high-value carry — especially Pharah — with amplified healing, move speed, and lifesteal on every Flash Heal. [src: e8bb3398-f662-40fa-aa72-e9aa6ad5c938] Beam chaining to a second target simultaneously generates massive ultimate charge. [src: d8c6b975-371a-4896-80f6-259cbea5672b] Weapon power scaling ensures every heal tick counts at full value.
A durable brawl-oriented build built around Orbital Barrier, Philharmonic Fortitude, and De Kuiper's Thesis to maintain near-permanent shield uptime. Constant barrier regeneration turns Sigma into a persistent group healer through De Kuiper's, while Event Horizon recycles Kinetic Grasp absorbs back into barrier health. Stacking max health amplifies both self-sustain and ally healing output.
A glass cannon build focused on maximizing DPS through attack speed, Trinisphere's extra Hypersphere, and Symphonic Syzygy's post-Grasp attack speed buff. Aerial Distresser procs reliably due to Hypersphere knockback, providing significant bonus damage. Strongest early to mid-game but falls off as enemy tanks scale.
Start with To Me My Friends for shield sustain, rush Gloomgauntlet after round 1 for melee lifesteal, then add Martian Mender after round 2 for passive regen. Shield Stampede keeps Barrier Field active during Charge so To Me My Friends heals Reinhardt mid-engage. Self-healing counts toward the healing scoreboard stat, accelerating item purchases.
Heat Seekers enables a two-tap combo by auto-locking your second rocket after a direct hit, providing early round dominance. Cyclic Salvo amplifies this by reducing all cooldowns by 1 second on each direct hit, fueling more frequent dashes and lock-on volleys. Ballistic Buffer and First Aid Kit provide early survivability to sustain the aggressive poke pattern.
Transform Pharah into a high attack speed 'Gatling gun' by stacking Attack Speed and Weapon Power items with synergistic powers. Speed Kills generates Move Speed and Attack Speed on damage, with direct hits doubling stacks. Fuel Depot scales fuel permanently through direct hits, enabling sustained aerial pressure.
