Heroes that work well with Sigma

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

Tanks

  • Orisa (good pair): 6v6: his barrier and her Fortify hold the same lane

Damage heroes

  • Ashe (good pair): barrier covers her scoped angle; both trade at range
  • Bastion (good pair): Bastion fires from behind his barrier
  • Hanzo (good pair): Dragonstrike through a Fluxed group; shared long poke
  • Torbjörn (good pair): barrier covers his turret and poke
  • Widowmaker (good pair): barrier denies the enemy's answer to her sightline
  • Emre (decent pair): barrier covers his mid-range trades and Override Protocol
  • Freja (decent pair): explosive bolts from high angles in a poke trade
  • Sierra (decent pair): shared poke from off-angles behind his barrier

Supports

  • Baptiste (good pair): Amp Matrix doubles damage on enemies lifted by Gravitic Flux
  • Illari (good pair): barrier poke protects the Pylon; Gravitic Flux groups Captive Sun targets
  • Lifeweaver (decent pair): Petal Platform and long-range heals suit a poke hold

Heroes that clash with Sigma

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

Tanks

  • Hazard (minor clash): 6v6: Sigma holds range behind a barrier while he leaps in
  • Junker Queen (minor clash): 6v6: Sigma holds range while she rushes in
  • Winston (minor clash): 6v6: dives away from the lane Sigma holds

Damage heroes

  • Genji (minor clash): needs a dive tank to go in with; Sigma can't follow
  • Reaper (minor clash): wants a close brawl while Sigma holds range
  • Shion (minor clash): long-range barrier poke while she needs a tank who goes in
  • Vendetta (minor clash): holds back with a barrier while she needs a tank who goes in
  • Venture (minor clash): long-range barrier poke where she has nothing to hit

Supports

  • Brigitte (minor clash): long-range barrier trades keep the fight out of whip and Inspire range
  • Lúcio (minor clash): speed plan for rushing in; Sigma's plan is a ranged hold
  • Moira (minor clash): short-range healing in a ranged trade
  • Sombra (minor clash): slow long-range trades keep fights outside Cyberspace and Hotfix range
  • Wuyang (minor clash): long-range poke wastes his knockdown and Guardian Wave
