Overwatch 2: Best Cassidy Stadium Builds

In Overwatch 2, Season 16 introduced the brand-new Stadium gameplay mode with a limited launch roster. In this mode, there are no counterswaps; players instead choose one hero for the match and then continue to create a build for them out of Powers and Items as the match progresses. In order to do this, they earn cash through each round that can then be used to customize each purchase and create new synergies.

However, there are quite a few options to choose from when it comes to creating a hero build, as there are three different categories to consider. On top of this, every Hero has a wide range of Powers to choose from every other round, making selection crucial. If you want to give Cassidy a try on the DPS Role in Overwatch Stadium, here’s a rundown on some solid builds to help you get started.
