Stealth

HOTKEY: LEFT SHIFT    or    

Movement Speed: 8.8 m/s (+50%)
Cast Time: 0.7 seconds cloaking/uncloaking
Radius: Detected when an enemy is within 2 meters
Cooldown: 6 seconds

• Stealth voiceline can be heard from 15 meters away

Sombra becomes invisible for a short period of time, during which her speed is boosted considerably. Attacking, using offensive abilities, or taking damage disables her camouflage.

Translocator

HOTKEY: E    or    

Health: 5
Cast Time: ~0.7 seconds
Duration: Infinite
Projectile Speed: 19 m/s
Cooldown: 4 sec (2 sec if self-canceled)

• Don’t use exclusive as an escape tool. It is a repositioning tool that just happens to also create safety
  • If the placement of your translocator would prevent you from shooting an enemy within 2 seconds of teleporting, it’s usually wrong
• If you get CCed, hold E and you’ll use it as soon as the game lets you, without having to spam. Helpful if you mess up and get Earthshattered or slept.
• Because Sombra can’t be hurt while translocating, use it to escape ultimates
• Translocator bounces off walls but not slopes

Sombra tosses out a translocator beacon. She can instantly return to the beacon’s location while it is active you can only have one beacon at a time. (including when it’s in mid-flight).

EMP (Ultimate Ability)

HOTKEY: Q    or    

Damage Radius: 15 m radius
Cast Time: 0.5 seconds
Duration: 6 seconds

• Try to interrupt ultimate combos. If Zarya uses her ultimate, EMP before Hanzo can Dragonstrike
• General EMP Strategy:

  1. Be stealthed, have translocator off cooldown.

  2. Throw translocator into the air above where you want the EMP to originate.

  3. Press left click or Melee to decloak.

  4. Translocate, and immediately ult.

  5. Try to fall somewhere safe so you don’t instantly die. Having your damage around and continued hacks help with follow up.

Sombra discharges electromagnetic energy in a wide radius, destroying enemy barriers and shields and hacking all opponents caught in the blast.
