Soldier: 76 has quickly become arguably the strongest pick in Overwatch 2 Stadium, even after a pretty steep nerf to one of his core Powers. However, with the right build, like this Weapon-focused build centered around Super Visor, Soldier: 76 can still dominate in Stadium.

Build Priorities & Strategy
Super Visor is the core of this build, so we start with it in Round 1 to get instant value. In the early game, we are looking to find safe off angles or play behind the team and look for weaker targets with our Tactical Visor auto aim that we will proc with Helix Rockets.
As the game progresses, continue focusing on Weapon Damage, Cooldown Reduction, and Attack Speed scaling in your items. These will help your Visors deal more damage and keep your Helix Rockets coming as fast as possible. Peripheral Pulse helps to add some multi-target pressure as well as you enter the midgame.
After several Stadium games on all roles, this Soldier build is one that has consistently been among the toughest to deal with and may even be the strongest single build currently in the game mode.
