Heroes that work well with Illari

Good partners for Illari: pick one beside them, or pick Illari beside one.

Tanks

  • Domina (good pair): segmented barriers hide her Pylon and rifle line in poke
  • Sigma (good pair): barrier poke protects the Pylon; Gravitic Flux groups Captive Sun targets
  • Zarya (good pair): Graviton Surge holds a group still for Captive Sun to detonate
  • D.Mon (decent pair): Pylon behind her barrier sustains the mech
  • Orisa (decent pair): holds the front so her Pylon spot stays safe

Heroes that clash with Illari

These pull a different way from Illari: the pair can still work, but it takes more care.

Tanks

  • Winston (clash): dive leaves her and her Pylon behind; she can't follow
  • Wrecking Ball (clash): fights far from the Pylon and leaves her with no peel
  • Doomfist (minor clash): fast in-and-out dive outruns her short heal beam
  • Junker Queen (minor clash): a static Pylon at range while the team rushes forward

Damage heroes

  • Genji (minor clash): flanks out of beam range and Pylon sight
  • Tracer (minor clash): flanks out of beam range and Pylon sight
