His main hitscan shot deals 60 damage at 2 shots per second, with falloff past 20 m. Each critical hit takes 1 s off Avatar Life Stream, so aiming at heads also means more healing.
For 10 s his ultimate brings fallen teammates within 35 m back to life at 30% health, topped with a big bonus-health buffer (70% of max) that drains away after 5 s. Anyone who dies inside the area while it lasts gets brought back as well.
Hold to charge up to 5 orbs, then release them for 35 damage each. Every hit cuts 0.6 s from Avatar Life Stream, and it draws from the same 15 shots as Quantum Magic.
Links him to allies within 15 m for 6 s, healing 15 per second and spreading damage across the group, up to 250 per ally. If shared damage would kill him he stays at 1 HP. 40 s cooldown, so save it for big burst.
A targeted heal of 95 on an ally within 20 m that then bounces to another teammate, and it gives him 35 as well. It has 2 charges at 6 s each, making it his main burst heal.
Lets him fly forward at 10 m/s, using a 120-point meter that drains at 30 per second and refills at 8 per second. Use it to reach high ground or get back to the team.
After he dies he roams as a soul for up to 12 s and rebuilds his body at a spot he picks, 3 s after choosing it. It has a 105 s cooldown, so pick a safe spot near the team.

Adam Warlock has 2 team-up loadouts. Pick one before the match: it always works, and its enhanced effect turns on when the partner hero is on your team.
Partner: Storm
Changes Soul Bond so linked allies get a 20% movement boost, and its link range grows from 15 to 20 m. With Storm on the team the boost rises to 30% and linked allies also deal 12% more damage, which makes it the loadout for a coordinated push.
Ranked win rate with Storm: 64.0% (+12.6 vs Adam Warlock's 51.4% overall, 1,453 matches)
Cosmic Cluster can now hit allies and heal them for 18 per orb, and the shared ammo rises from 15 to 25. With Ultron on the team each orb also bursts in 3 m for 5 damage and 7 healing; pick it when the team needs steadier healing.
Ranked win rate with Ultron: 64.2% (+12.8 vs Adam Warlock's 51.4% overall, 5,541 matches)
Adam Warlock heals mostly through 2 charges of Avatar Life Stream, so dive his team right after both charges go out, or once Soul Bond's 40-second cooldown has started. Divers who teleport or grapple onto the backline, like Magik and Daredevil, reach him faster than his 10 m/s flight can carry him away. A kill does not always remove him, since Regenerative Cocoon rebuilds him 3 seconds after he picks a spot once every 105 seconds, so expect him back near the fight and save your ultimates until Karmic Revival is spent.
