Bastion's Strengths & Weaknesses
Strengths
Durability via armor and passive.
Despite being in the damage role, Bastion has 100 health worth of armor, and with his passive's 20% damage reduction while transformed, he has quite a tanky profile for a damage hero.
Very high DPS via Configuration: Assault
.While in Configuration: Assault
, he has very high DPS, giving him a strong ability to destroy enemy barriers or melt tanks. If Configuration: Assault lands well, it can easily change the state of a fight.
How to Counter
Focus-target Bastion as a whole team.
The whole team needs to constantly apply pressure so he can't use Configuration: Assault
in a free situation. Bastion has a hitbox as large as a tank, so attacks land very easily, and continuously pressuring Bastion also tends to drain the enemy's heals.When the enemy Bastion uses Configuration: Assault
, players nearby should focus on taking cover as much as possible, while players far away target Bastion.Configuration: Assault
delivers very high DPS at close range, but its bullet spread is wide, so it doesn't produce as much burst damage at long range. Therefore, when you're far from Bastion, aggressively targeting him - combined with his slow movement speed during Configuration: Assault - lets you apply kill pressure on him.Use flankers or dive tanks with spread shots. Hitscan heroes are also effective.
Bastion has a wide hitbox, so he easily takes big damage from spread attacks like the primary fire of Tracer, Reaper, Genji, or D.Va. Also, without Configuration: Assault
, Bastion's DPS isn't that high, so hitscan heroes can win a 1v1 against him. Especially against heroes with small, frequent peeks like Ashe or Widow, Bastion tends to lose the damage trade.
