Details[]
When an ally dies, Mercy is able to see a yellow soul globe at the spot where they died. Using this ability, Mercy is able to revive any nearby fallen teammate, restoring them to full health at the location of their respective soul globe. This applies to any teammate within 5 meters of Mercy that has not yet respawned. After pressing the ability button, Mercy will go through a cast animation lasting 1.75 seconds before the ally is revived. If she is hit by crowd control in this time, Resurrect will be interrupted. During the casting animation, Mercy's movement speed will be slowed by 75%.
The ability is affected by line of sight restrictions: Mercy can't Resurrect teammates through walls, below floors, and above ceilings, even if they're within range. Mercy must also face the soul to resurrect the player. When D.Va is resurrected by Mercy, she comes back outside her mech and immediately gets her ultimate Call Mech at full charge.
When resurrected, there is a 2.25 second delay before the teammate is fully revived. During this time, the revived teammate will be glowing yellow and is invulnerable, but cannot use abilities.
Trivia[]

The original icon for Resurrect, used when it was an ultimate ability.
- Resurrect is the first ability to lose its status as an ultimate ability after the game's launch.
- When Resurrect was still an ultimate ability, the ultimate callouts were the same as Valkyrie's are currently, namely: an allied or player-controlled Mercy would say "Heroes never die!", while an enemy Mercy would say "Helden sterben nicht!", along with having the voice line change depending on which Legendary skin she had equipped.
- Resurrect is also the first ability to have its icon changed after live release.
- At 30 seconds, Resurrect has the longest cooldown of any standard ability.
- The Witch of the Wilds still utilizes the ultimate ability version of Resurrect in the Junkenstein's Revenge brawl.
