Overwatch has released their Stadium mode, bringing a breath of fresh air into the game. Stadium limits the roster of heroes you can play and adds Powers and Armory Items that players can use in each round. If you’re having difficulty creating your build for each round, here are the best Stadium Builds for every Hero. 

How Does Stadium Mode Work?

Stadium is a round-based game mode where players can build up their Hero’s ability, whether it’s buffs or items. For each round that allows you to get abilities, you can choose from three Armory Items: Abilities, Weapons, and Survivability. These can be bought using Stadium Cash when defeating enemies with bounties. They come in Common, Rare, and Epic categories. 

Another aspect of the game is Powers. These can’t be bought using Stadium Cash but through your Hero’s level. Perform well in each round, and your Hero will level up. You can equip up to 4 Powers per game, but they can’t be unequipped once picked. So, choosing the right one is essential. As you progress through the match, both teams will build up their Heroes to claim their win.
