Seeing that your charge is pretty low and you ' re learning a new hero , lemme give you a few tips on getting more charge Let people tag you for a few points , then activate the barrier , so they ' ll keep shooting at you . A lot of people activate barrier preemptively and don ' t get much charge out of it . Remember that half you HP is Shield blue , which regenerates over time ! When you and a Rein are defending a choke , bubble him so he can rest his shield . Best use the ingame voice to let rein know . Whenever you see a FireStrike , Bubble up and Jump into that Mofo . It destroys your bubble but also gives you full charge for it 40 . Bonus points for also bubbling another mate , who couldn ' t get out of the way for another 40 When Mai uses Blizzard , use your shield to not only get out of it , but also get Full charge 40 very quickly . Again , bonus points if you can help out an ally ! keep in mind though that your shield will get destroyed pretty quick , so get out of Blizzards range or you ' ll get frozen anyways ! The same goes for D . va ' s ult . You can block all the damage from it and get full charge for your barriers . Some other things that came to mind If you need to make a large gap for example , to get from spawn to Point 1 on Hanamurra , you can use your RightClick to do an extended Jump similar to a rocketjump . This can also be used , if you need to get to a higher position or move quickly . Give bubbles to teammates that are about to ult . Especially if their ults can be cancelled McCree , Reaper , Roadhog , Pharah If Reinhard charges in , give the man a bubble . He can ' t help it ! If I remember anything else of use , I ' ll add it . Good Luck with Zarya !
