Mastering Juno: Tips and Tricks on Overwatch 2's Latest Healer!

Overwatch 2 has welcomed its newest Support hero, Juno—codenamed “Space Ranger”—and she’s ready to shake things up. She’s a hybrid of different characters, offering solid healing with a touch of lethality if played right. Whether you're new to Support or a seasoned healer looking for something fresh, here’s some Juno tips and tricks you can count on!

Meeting Juno: The Basics

Juno is the first new Support since Illari and is here to rival Lucio’s speed and mobility. She’s equipped with a burst-fire weapon that heals teammates and deals damage to enemies.

She’s not one for making flashy solo plays but excels as a backline healer who can keep her team alive and engaged in fights.

Abilities Breakdown

• Hyper Ring

This ability lets you deploy a ring that boosts the movement speed of any ally who passes through it. It’s great for helping your team engage in fights or for quick retreats when things get dicey.

• Glide Boost (Passive)

Juno’s vertical mobility is one of her greatest strengths. Her passive Glide Boost allows her to hover in the air for a short time, giving her a great vantage point to heal teammates or escape danger.

• Ultimate: Orbital Ray

Juno calls down a beam of light that travels forward, healing allies and boosting their damage. It’s a game-changer during team fights, forcing enemies to either retreat or burn their ultimates to counter it.

Juno's Weapons

• Mediblaster

Juno’s primary weapon is a burst-fire tool that heals allies and damages enemies, much like a beefier version of Ana’s Biotic Rifle. It doesn't deal critical damage, so no need to aim for headshots—just focus on landing consistent hits.

• Pulsar Torpedoes

Her secondary fire lets you lock onto targets, launching homing projectiles that either heal teammates or damage enemies. Think of it as a handy auto-aim ability that takes some of the pressure off precise aiming.

Tips and Tricks for Playing Juno

1. Forget Headshots: Since Juno’s Mediblaster doesn’t deal critical damage, aim for the body or legs to ensure you’re landing hits consistently.

2. Maximize Pulsar Torpedoes: Your homing projectiles need line of sight to hit, so make sure you have a clear view of your team and enemies. Use Juno’s verticality to get into good positions for landing those shots.

3. Stay on the High Ground: With Glide Boost, Juno thrives in high places. Position yourself in elevated areas to heal safely from afar and escape dives when needed.

4. Timing is Key with Hyper Ring: Use Hyper Ring when your team is charging into battle or trying to make a hasty retreat. It’s faster than Lucio’s speed boost, but on a cooldown, so timing matters.

5. Orbital Ray: Start Strong: Juno’s ult is perfect for initiating team fights. Its damage buff can push the enemy back or force them to blow their ultimates. Since the beam moves slowly, position yourself slightly ahead of your team when you activate it.

6. Walls Are No Match for Orbital Ray: The ultimate goes through walls, ceilings, and obstacles, so even teammates on the high ground can benefit from it without standing close to you. It’s a perfect setup for hitscan heroes preparing to unleash their ultimates.

That’s your crash course on Juno! Get out there, hover like a boss, and keep your team alive while dishing out some surprise damage. Have fun, and happy healing!
