In this guide, you’ll find the best heroes in Overwatch Season 1: Conquest, ranked from strongest to weakest.
Several factors were considered when ranking these characters:
- Current buffs and nerfs

Overwatch Season 1: Conquest Tank Tier List
| Tier | Characters |
| S | Domina, D.Va |
| A | Junker Queen, Sigma, Winston |
| B | Doomfist, Hazard, Mauga, Ramattra, Reinhardt, Wrecking Ball, Zarya |
| C | Orisa |
| D | Roadhog |
As the name suggests, Domina truly dominates Overwatch this season. Her introduction has significantly shifted the meta, controlling matches from Bronze all the way to Master rank, as reflected by her win rate. Her shield makes her incredibly hard to break through, while her laser turns her into a deadly force that demands respect. Right now, she stands as the undisputed best tank in the game.
Alongside her, D.Va remains an icon and continues to be one of the strongest tanks in Overwatch. Her mobility is exceptional, and combined with relentless offense and strong defensive tools, she is consistently one of the safest picks for securing wins.
Junker Queen, Sigma, and Winston also remain excellent tank choices with high win rates. Their kits are relatively simple, yet highly effective, making them potential game-changers in the right hands.
B-Tier tanks are not weak by any means, but they lack the overall impact and versatility of the top-tier options. They perform best when paired with the right team compositions or used in specific situations. Still, with strong mastery and proper coordination, these heroes can still perform at an A-Tier or even S-Tier level.

Overwatch Season 1: Conquest DPS Tier List
| Tier | Characters |
| S | Bastion, Echo, Symmetra, Vendetta |
| A | Ashe, Cassidy, Pharah, Reaper, Sojourn, Tracer |
| B | Anran, Emre, Freja, Genji, Hanzo, Junkrat, Mei, Soldier: 76, Venture |
| C | Sombra, Torbjorn |
| D | - |
The queen of this season, Vendetta, is a force to be reckoned with and stays true to her lore. With top-tier mobility, high survivability, and especially strong DPS, she currently stands as the best overall pick in the meta.
Bastion has climbed into the top tier thanks to the addition of Jetpack Cat. With this new synergy, Bastion can rain devastating damage from the sky, making him incredibly lethal. Even without the aerial support, his raw damage output remains overwhelming, solidifying him as one of the strongest characters this season.
Echo and Symmetra continue to dominate the top tier. Their kits are relatively simple, yet extremely effective, and more often than not, simplicity is what wins games.
A-Tier heroes are still strong choices this season, sitting just below S-Tier in terms of win rate. They remain safe and reliable picks that can consistently help secure victories.
Anran and Emre are powerful in their own right, but their kits are more complex. In most cases, simple yet consistent damage tends to outperform complicated mechanics, especially in fast-paced matches.
Overwatch Season 1: Conquest Support Tier List
| Tier | Characters |
| S | Illari, Jetpack Cat, Mizuki |
| A | Ana, Juno, Lucio, Mercy, Zenyatta |
| B | Brigitte, Kiriko, Wuyang, Lifeweaver |
| C | Baptiste, Moira |
| D | - |
Mizuki is, without a doubt, the strongest Support this season. This new ninja hero can bounce his hat to generate extremely high overall healing output while simultaneously dealing impressive damage, comparable to a DPS hero, even. Combined with his fast mobility, Mizuki fits perfectly into the current meta and excels in almost every situation.
Jetpack Cat may look cute, but she is deadly. Her healing output is strong, her damage is respectable, and most importantly, she can fly permanently. This makes her incredibly nimble and difficult to hit while airborne. Her bread-and-butter ability allows her to latch onto teammates, enabling high burst-damage heroes like Bastion or Soldier: 76 to rain destruction from the sky.
Illari remains a fan-favorite Support with consistently high pick and win rates from Gold to Master ranks. She provides strong, reliable healing while also contributing meaningful burst damage when needed.
A-Tier Supports are dependable picks that can consistently deliver the healing a team needs. They are generally easy to use and remain solid choices for winning matches, even if they lack the meta-defining impact of S-Tier heroes.
