Junker Queen Abilities: Lead, Blades, and Lifesteal
Junker Queen is a somewhat special tank hero. Common tanks like Reinhardt and Orisa are meant to provide cover for their allies and avoid damage. However, it is not the only way to tank. Junker Queen has great mobility and the incredible ability to take massive amounts of damage thanks to her lifesteal abilities. Also, she can heal allies.
The essence of Junker Queen in battle is to cause chaos and attract the attention of all enemies. All her skills and weapons are designed to be used in close combat, as close as possible to rivals. Although it is a more independent tank, its function is the same as the rest: to protect allies.

Tips and tricks to play with Junker Queen
- Shotgun + Blade, the ultimate combo– This is a very simple, yet extremely deadly combination. Use it to knock tanks out of their lane and break through. You can also use it to hunt down ninja DPS like Genji or Tracer or to shred supports . If you have skill, you can throw characters off cliffs.
- Non-Stop Bleeding: Junker Queen’s key is to cause bleeding over time to continuously recover health. Keep in mind that Junker Queen is a tank, but she DPS and Support very efficiently.
- Short Distances– Closed and/or tight places are your best friends, especially for performing your ultimate. You can take down an entire team in a matter of seconds if you apply the statuses to most opponents.
