Best Vendetta Stadium Builds in Overwatch
The addition of Vendetta is very fitting for Stadium this season, as of the recent lore updates with her taking out Doomfist and becoming the new head of Talon. If you’re looking to get the most out of this sword-swinging melee DPS in Stadium, two of the strongest and most popular builds in the community have been outlined below.
One build focuses on spamming her overhead swing damage and buffing up her survivability to make Vendetta a more ‘tanky’, heavy damage dealer.
The second build puts everything into her sword damage to make Vendetta much more of a force for 1v1 duels, flanking targets, and picking off enemies that the team is focusing on with final hits.
Vendetta Overhead Spam Tank Build For Overwatch Stadium
This build has been crafted by the user eloexx#0, taking a focus on amplifying the mechanics of her kit that the best Vendetta players already have up their sleeve. To achieve this, the build prioritizes attack speed + bulk and weapon damage.
Most importantly, it prioritizes the Riposte Power, enabling Vendetta to spam overhead swings after each block. Once players get the timing down, they can rotate block < overhead < block for serious damage output.
