Not sure if this is the place to ask, and I checked the guides and I couldn’t find any on her. How do you snipe with her? For the low amount of HP, some players literally stay alive and kill many.
How to play Sparks?

At close range you pre charge before you round a corner, keeping your crosshair at just below head height, hope you hit your target (even better if you hit them in the head) swap to your primary and ADAADADADADADDDAAADDA like a crazy meth head, full auto primary into their face!
long range you ADDADADDADDDAADDADA like a calm meth head, full charge shots to the head.
Medium range is abit of all of the above.
Also never go too far around the corner, make sure you can get back to cover at all times if possible in mere milliseconds.
Also good to place medpacks already at your cover spot if you know its going to get hairy.
Save your medpacks for yourself (most of the time)
Most important is precharge before you engage anything!
Also swap to your melee everytime you want to cancel your charge, that way you will have less chance of giving away your position
this is what I have learned anyway :), hope it helps

No need to save medpacks. The way you want to play Sparks you won’t be near anyone who’s low on health anyways. So if you give out one or two to heal someone who’s running towards you because they have 5% health, you’re doing everyone a favour.
They key is to not die. Because if you die you won’t be reviving anyone now will you? So play save, play low profile, play long range. If you get shot at, go into cover and heal up. By the time you poke back around the corner, whoever was shooting you will be busy dealing with your teams frontline, because you keep reviving them.
Don’t be part of the frontline. Stay where Vasili and Arty are at. The goal isn’t to get kills.

Just because you’re bad at Sparks doesn’t mean she’s not literally the best medic.[/quote]
This makes no sense, sorry.
-Aura is a good area-controlling merc. Fragile, but shotguns and the Blishlok are nice. Best merc for defending, insane heal-abilities due to a permanent AoE heal.
-Sawbonez is a more mobile and bulky merc. He has nice HP and healpacks which regenerate the HP to maximum. He has nice guns and can be on the first line in a firefight.
-Phoenix is like Sawbonez but trades some of the survivability (10 HP) for an AoE heal. Great arsenal, nice Ability and self-revives.
-Sparks has shitty healthpacks and the gun forces her to play a Vassili-playstyle and you can’t heal if you’re in the last corner. This makes her healing abilities pretty weak.
Reviver is powerful at reviving people, but a medic who keeps the team alive don’t need to revive them. She has a bad weapon arsenal and nearly no survivability. Plus I have yet to see a Sparks who supported her team a whole game instad of playing that MLG-sniper-style.
Those are the facts. All medics can revive, and all can heal a great amount of players, besides Sparks. She is the worst medic in the game in terms of being a healing medic.
But nice you seem to know how bad I am with a Sparks instead of writing down something productive. I am extremely bad with Sparks. But I can play Aura, Sawbonez and Phoenix and be the best scoring guy in my team having multiple revive-sprees/Miracle workers or even Doctors and keeping my team alive instead of running MLG-headshots.

That’s like, just your opinion, man.
I’ve seen and been the one to carry many a game as Sparks.
Sparks is the medic that’s everywhere at the same time, the only thing she’s bad at is small maps. Market, for example. And I wouldn’t want to play her as the defender on the last stage in Underground. But for most situations on all the maps, she’s superior.

Imo Aura is probably the best med, but I like the idea behind Sparks and Phoenix more. Aura is a bit of a boring med but she’s really good at healing. And constantly moving that heal station around makes her surprisingly mobile too for the pushes.

So the revivr can heal 200 HP fully charged?
How long you need to charge it to achieve a 200 HP revive time-wise?
And how are you dealing with non-downed low HP mercs?

You’d think the healthpacks were for the teammates. Nah, I’d rather save them for when I get hit by a stray bullet

With the quick charge perk, idk, 3/4th of a second? Long enough that you can’t fully charge it from the point someone goes down to the point they get super killed, but not a full second either. It’s percentage based. The longer you charge the more health it restores. Same as the defibs.
How I deal with low health mercs? I got the potent pack perk. I just toss em a medpack or two. Basically make sure you never max out and keep dropping some. Your max is 4, so you can fully heal 2 people before you are on cooldown. I think one pack is 45 health with the perk? It’s faster than sawbones, but you can only heal half the amount of people. Or one Rhino.

Sparks isn’t as squishy as you guys may think, if I get a nice full charged shot on target your already -65 less health so for most mercs your health is already lower than mine.
I’m guessing you guys haven’t come across many sparks that know how to use her right.
And I tell you now, alot of the time in 1v1’s if I get that charged shot in first they are done. And if its a headshot…
