Oasis Tips and Strategies

Utilize the Map's Verticality

Oasis' City Center and Gardens offer a high vertical skybox and an ample amount of natural cover, These characteristics make them excellent areas for Heroes like Pharah and Echo, letting them attack their foes from multiple angles before retreating into and behind the map's structures.

Reach High Ground With City Center's Jump Pad

Remember to take advantage of City Center's jump pad, located near the center of the map, as it provides easy access to a vantage point overlooking the control point. The jump pad is particularly useful for low-mobility Supports like Zenyatta and Ana, who can use it to quickly reach better sightlines for supporting their team.

Flank from University's Underground Paths

The University map has underground pathways that connect to all of its major areas, making them excellent routes for flanking heroes. Utilize the underground tunnels to set up pincer attacks on teams defending the control point or as an additional way to retreat to your team's backline.

Team Explanation

This team works well on all three points in Oasis, taking advantage of the map's numerous vantage points, tight choke points, and ample flanking routes.

Sigma provides excellent cover along Oasis' narrow pathways and long sightlines with his mobile Experimental Barrier and projectile-absorbing Kinetic Grasp. His Accretion is also a potent crowd-control tool for disrupting key enemy targets and bursting down fragile Damage Heroes. When used from the map's numerous vantage points and around control points, Gravitic Flux can heavily damage and disrupt whole enemy teams.
Genji swiftly reaches Oasis' high ground and flanking routes with Cyber-Agility and Swift Strike, letting him quickly eliminate key enemy targets from multiple angles. His Deflect is also a great tool for safely crossing sniper sightlines and returning enemy fire in frantic firefights. When engaging in team fights around control points, Dragonblade and Swift Strike resets let Genji quickly tear through multiple enemies.
Sojourn reliably deals with close-range brawlers and long-range snipers in Oasis with her versatile Railgun, especially when enhanced by Overclock. Her Power Slide is an excellent mobility skill for crossing sightlines and reaching the map's numerous vantage points and flank routes. To deal with grouped-up foes in choke points and control points, Disruptor Shot provides high area-based damage that also snares foes.
Ana takes advantage of Oasis' vantage points and long sightlines to provide excellent single-target healing and supportive fire with Biotic Rifle. Sleep Dart and Biotic Grenade are also excellent tools for disabling crucial enemy targets and dealing with clumped-up foes inside control points and choke points. Nano Boost also pairs well with Genji and Sojourn, providing them with increased damage output and survivability.
Lúcio enhances his team's mobility with Speed Boost and Amp It Up, letting them reach and secure Oasis' control points faster. His Soundwave is also a great tool for shoving enemies off high ground, pushing back advancing foes, and singling out crucial targets. When engaging in team fights, his Healing Boost and Sound Barrier offer potent area-based healing and survivability.

B.O.B. is also an excellent ultimate for contesting payloads while providing her team with additional damage and crowd control.
Pharah: When fighting in Oasis' City Center and Garden, Pharah is a potent alternative pick if the enemy team lacks heavy hitscan and crowd control.

Mercy: Mercy easily follows her mobile teammates around using Guardian Angel and provides constant streams of healing and damage boosts with Caduceus Staff. Her mobility and utility are further enhanced when she uses Valkyrie, especially since she can take advantage of Oasis' ample cover and high verticality. Mercy also provides her team with Resurrect, which has the potential to break stalemates and turn teamfights around.
Zenyatta: Zenyatta pairs well with Oasis' long sightlines and high vantage points, letting him efficiently mark teammates with Orb of Harmony and crucial enemy targets with Orb of Discord. He can also efficiently use Orbs of Destruction from these positions to provide supportive fire and land devastating critical hits. His Transcendence is also great for defending control points with its massive healing aura.
Kiriko: Kiriko can quickly cut through Oasis' long sightlines and high ground with Swift Step to escape from danger and reach teammates in need.
