About this converter
This page measures active time, not recharge time. Fade lasts 0.8 seconds. Javelin Spin holds up to 1.75. Deflect holds 2. Both Zarya bubbles hold 2.5. Amp It Up and Wraith Form hold 3. Cryo-Freeze holds 4. Fortify holds 4.5. Ice Wall holds up to 5. Winston Barrier and Kitsune Rush hold 8. That makes one Winston dome equal ten Moira Fades. Use it with the cooldown file to see both sides of each kit.
How to use it
Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first window, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds total seconds. Try Fortify at 4.5 against Barrier at 8. Only seconds are used here.
Durations move by patch, so each row pins its source. Zarya is listed 2.5 here though some stat tables list 2.25. Winston Barrier is listed 8 here though older tables list 9. Kitsune area is listed 8 with a 1 second lingering buff. Cooldowns stay out: Winston 12, Amp 12, Deflect 8, Fade 6 and Ice Wall 12 are recharge numbers, not active numbers. Perks that extend windows stay out.
FAQ
How is this different from the cooldown file?
This file times the active window. The cooldown file times the wait before reuse. Winston Barrier lasts 8 here and recharges in 12 there.
How long is Orisa Fortify?
4.5 seconds. It was raised from 4 seconds in Overwatch 2 and adds health while active.
How long is Kiriko Kitsune Rush?
8 seconds for the fox path area. Allies keep a 1 second lingering buff after leaving it.
Why does Zarya show 2.5 in some places and 2.25 in others?
OW2 guides list 2.5 after the 2 to 2.5 change. Raw stat tables list 2.25. This page pins 2.5 and notes the split.
