Zarya
Energy-based tank who gains damage output from absorbing hits with bubbles on herself and allies. Core of Zarya-enabled dive and brawl comps; Graviton Surge is a team-wipe ultimate.
± avg is Zarya's win rate on the map minus their average across maps, adjusted for each map's overall shift (every hero runs a point or so below their average on the open Hybrids), so it compares across maps and matches the map pages. Kit fit (✓✓ … ✗✗) rates how well Zarya's abilities suit each map's mode and geometry — independent of the observed win rates. Pick a rank to see Zarya's map numbers at your level.
