When Lucio isn’t healing and running, he should be targeting large enemies-tanks, in other words. Lucio struggles to keep up with fast heroes such as Genji, so instead of trying to tail them and other naturally speedy heroes up walls and all over the map, just keep an eye out for opportunities to provide support as needed. Movement buffs are vital for helping you both escape or relocate to a more advantageous position, while Lucio’s Soundwave can help even the field and keep foes at bay while your ally targets someone else. Ideally, this ally will be your team’s tank or primary DPS hero, and not just for healing purposes.

When you’re playing Lucio, the goal is finding at least one ally and sticking with them as much as possible. Wall Ride (passive): Lucio runs along a wall at 30 percent faster speeds than his normal run speed.Sound Barrier: Grants a flood of overhealth that pushes nearby ally HP past the usual limits, but fades quickly.Amp It Up: Increases the potency of Lucio’s active song (52 healing per second, +60 speed buff).Crossfade: Switches Lucio’s active song to healing or speed buff.Soundwave: Emits a wave that knocks enemies back.Sonic Amplifier: Fires four bursts of sound energy.Soundwave also has a broad area of effect and comes in handy during escort and matches and situations where you need to occupy the objective zone and push enemies back. His Sonic Amplifier weapon deals a decent amount of damage and has practically no reload time, while the Soundwave ability knocks foes back. On the bright side, Lucio is equipped to keep most threats at bay and to soften foes for your team’s damage dealers to finish off.

That means Lucio needs to stay close to your team’s tank or DPS, subsequently putting himself in danger. The song benefits only linger for one second after allies leave the area of effect, and they only affect teammates within Lucio’s line of sight. Crossfade, his primary ability, lets Lucio switch between a healing song and a speed buff song at will, though the impressive skill does come with a couple of caveats. Lucio is a top-tier healer who provides continuous support without needing to work around a cooldown timer.
