Tips and How to Play

Learn Junker Queen's Staple Combo

Junker Queen's staple damage combo is similar to Roadhog's, pulling enemies in with Jagged Blade and rapidly bursting them down with her other abilities. Practice and master this combo to maximize Junker Queen's damage output and Adrenaline uptime.

Jagged Blade > Carnage > Jagged Blade (Recall) > Scattergun > Quick Melee > Scattergun

Weave Quick Melee Between Scattergun Shots

Since Junker Queen heavily relies on Adrenaline to keep herself alive, make it a habit to land Quick Melee hits while blasting foes with her Scattergun to maintain Wounded targets for as long as possible.

Jagged Blade's Recall Pierces Walls

Recalling Jagged Blade allows it to pierce through walls, barriers, and other solid objects while it flies back to Junker Queen. You can use this to your advantage by recalling Jagged Blade behind cover while also Wounding multiple unsuspecting foes.

Recall Jagged Blade While Using Carnage

As shown in her staple combo, you can recall Junker Queen's Jagged Blade at any point while using Carnage. Use this unique interaction to consistently land Carnage hits by pulling foes toward you with Jagged Blade before Junker Queen swings her axe.

Pull Enemies into Pitfalls with Jagged Blade

Like Roadhog, you can position yourself to pull enemies towards pitfalls and environmental hazards by landing and recalling Jagged Blade, instantly eliminating them. Remember to use this strategy in maps like Ilios and Lijiang Tower.

Use Commanding Shout Wisely

While Commanding Shout is a strong and versatile team buff, be mindful of its substantial 15-second cooldown. Prioritize using Commanding Shout to keep you and your allies alive in dangerous situations and for coordinated offensive pushes.

Junker Queen Story

Exile from Junkertown

Overwatch 2 - Exile from Junkertown
When she was younger, Odessa Stone and her family were exiled out of Junkertown by its current Junker King, Mason Howl. Despite their constant pleading and begging, they were forced out and left to fend for themselves in the Outback Wasteland for the next thirteen years.

Rising Up as a Legend

Overwatch 2 - Rising Up as a Legend
During her time in the Outback, Odessa became a legend through her various accomplishments and exploits across the Australian deserts. Wastelanders often tell stories about her hunts against feral omnics and her triumph against the Five Metal Demons of the Burning Lands.

Becoming the Junker Queen

Overwatch 2 - Becoming the Junker Queen
After thirteen years in the Wastelands, Odessa would eventually get her revenge on Mason Howl. After reaching the Reckoning, a free-for-all combat arena that dictates the next ruler of Junkertown, Odessa would make short work of her two competitors, Geiger and Meri, sparing them after knocking them out.

When Odessa ended up on the back foot against the Junker King's powerful magnet, her merciful actions during the fight were enough to make her competitors help her win. She eventually defeated Mason with her magnetized gauntlet and became the new Junker Queen.

After the Reckoning, Odessa finally returned the favor to Mason Howl by exiling him from Junkertown and leaving him out in the Outback Wasteland, letting him have a taste of what she and her family went through thirteen years ago.

Affiliation with Junkrat and Roadhog

Overwatch 2 - Affiliation with Junkrat and Roadhog
During her reign as Junker Queen, Odessa would end up exiling the Junkers Junkrat and Roadhog due to the numerous crimes they committed inside Junkertown. Junkrat and Roadhog have since tried several times to take the Junker Queen down, but their plans would always fail.
