How it works

Pharah, a vertically mobile DPS hero, capable of some of the highest damage output in the game
Let's see how you can master her..

About Pharah:

She is all about mobility, and damage.

She has 200 Health, and he is in the Damage role.

Abilities:

Her ult, Barrage:

It has a damage of 40 per rockets
She cannot move while the ability is active, but she can turn
When activated she shoots around 30 rockets per second
It has a duration of 30 seconds
If the ability is used mid-air, she will stay in the air
Ammunition is restored after using her ult

Now her main weapon, the Rocket Launcher:

It has a damage of 120 if enemy is hit directly
15 to 65 Splash damage
The explosion has a 3 meter radius
It shoots 1 rocket per every second (0.75 seconds to be exact)
Reload time is 1 second

Now her main mobility ability, the Jump Jet:
(I Couldn't find any good pictures for this, hope its not a problem)

It has a cooldown of 10 seconds
It launches her about 20 meters in the sky when activated

Now my favorite ability of her's, the Concussive Blast:

It does no damage, only knockback
It has a 9 second cooldown
Also knocks back Pharah, so it can be used for mobility
Mostly deals horizontal knockback, but it can push vertically too, but not as effective

Now the Hover Jets:

Activated by holding jump (by default: Space Bar) button while in the air
Allows her to gain height when held the jump button
Tapping the jump button allows her to remain at the same height
It recharges when its not used
It takes 2 seconds to fully recharge

Some tips for Pharah players:

On some maps, she is really useful with her Concussive Blast, she also counters Junkrat. Pharah and Widowmaker don't really like each other in the game, if there's an enemy Widowmaker and you are playing as Pharah, you better just switch off her, if you can't kill/counter Widowmaker. Before ulting you should shoot a rocket, so you can deal more damage. And don't go on your own adventures, stay with the team, callout the enemies and capture the point or push the payload! After all, you are the eyes in the skies.

My thoughts on her:

I have around 20+ hours played with her, when I first started playing overwatch she was my first main. She was easy to use, easy ability and it was just a great starting hero. I barely played any competitive with her, but when I did we actually won a lot in the lower ranks (the higher ranks weren't so successful). Anyways I think she is a great starting hero and a lot of fun to play with.
