Do Zarya's barriers protect against knockback effects?
The few times I've faced Zarya in Quick Play, I noticed one or two times that Lucio's sound blast didn't seem to push her back while she had her barrier on, but given how finicky pushback is in Overwatch, I'm not sure if that was because of the barrier of because of general wonkiness.
Do Zarya's barriers stop the knockback effects of Lucio's sound blast, Pharah's Concussive Blast, and so on?
Best Answer
Zarya's barriers not only protect from damage, but also from all their side effects, including pushback, Venom Mine's poison, Mei's slow/freeze and I believe Junkrat's trap.

How does Zarya charge work?
Gun Charge Strength. Zarya's Particle Cannon gets charged up and deals more damage when she absorbs enemy fire from her Particle Barriers that she can use on herself or Projected Barriers that she can put on her allies. Particle Gun strength value is from 0% to 100%.Does Zarya bubble block Winston?
Zarya can use her projected barrier to protect Winston while he initiates fights with aggressive dives. This keeps Winston alive when he goes in and usually keeps Zarya on a pretty high charge for her weapon.Stan Tone \u0026 Dasha Zarya - Do Utra (Madraas Remix) [Souksonic]
