    For this achievement, you need to play the 'All Heroes' version of Retribution eight times, as a different character each time. To access this mode, go to the Arcade, then click on 'Co-Op Mission Archives', then 'Co-Op Retribution (All Heroes)'.

    I recommend playing on Normal, since the rounds will be over much more quickly, and there are no other achievements tied to the 'All Heroes' mode (so you don't need to play on any other difficulties).

    Unfortunately, this does not stack with the normal Retribution mode, so you can't just play as those four characters in that mode and then a different four here. You have to play through this eight individual times.

    That said, the mission is short and sweet, and it can be a lot of fun (depending on the character you choose). As always, a well-rounded team comp is highly advisable. (At the very least, you'll need at least one character who can heal someone besides themselves.) Here are the heroes I played as, plus a few notes about each:

    1. Mei - I thought she was great. Since the most recent patch lets her freeze multiple targets at once with her primary fire, she's almost always able to stop at least a few enemies dead in their tracks, and her ult is great for those big fat baddies.
    2. Lucio - He was a good balance between healing and damage, and his ult kept my team safe during the heavy firefights. I highly recommend him if you're comfortable with the character.
    3. Winston - I thought this would be a good choice since he could damage multiple enemies at once with his gun, but I felt like I was just tickling the bad guys instead of harming them. I would not recommend him.
    4. Torbjorn - This worked out a lot better than I thought it would. I just plopped down a turret during each firefight, leveled it up when I could, and spammed armor all over the place. I saved my ults for the big fatty and the last section, but I was playing pretty conservatively so I bet you could probably drop them a lot more frequently.
    5. Doomfist - Boy was this one a mistake. Like Winston, I felt like I was barely damaging anyone. Even my charges only seemed to do about half damage. If you want a mobile character, I'd recommend Genji instead.
    6. Zenyatta - This was a good choice. I ended the match with the most eliminations and nobody on my team died because I was able to heal-and-forget with my Harmony orb. I'd definitely recommend this omnic if you like his playstyle.
    7. Brigitte - She was both effective and a ton of fun. Like Zen, I ended the match with the most eliminations because I simply hit EVERYONE when I swung my mace, and she's a strong enough healer to keep your team alive on Normal mode. Highly recommended.
    8. Pharah - Very effective if you know how to stay airborne. Her rockets have a high enough splash damage that you're pretty much guaranteed to hit an enemy if you're firing in their general direction, and her ult is strong enough that you can take a fatty down by more than half health if you hit him with the full load.

    Others in the comments have suggested Soldier 76, D.Va, and Mercy, and advised staying away from Junkrat (he bats enemies around the battlefield so much it makes it harder for your teammates to focus fire). If anyone else has any suggestions, please feel free to share!

    Anyway, I hope this helps! I know this isn't a complete walkthrough of the mission, but on Normal it is very straightforward and only lasts about 10-15 minutes, so you should be able to pound this out in a couple hours. If you're having troubles and need someone to team up with, feel free to hit me up :)

    FlabyoOne note for this mode: The enemy spawns are not quite the same as the mode with fixed hero choice. Don't go running towards where you're expecting the next special to spawn, you can easily be caught out by the slightly different ordering of dropships etc...

    Soldier 76 is made for this mode to be honest. Hit scan headshots, and his area healing ability works brilliantly because most of the firefights in this mode are not as mobile as in an actual Overwatch match.

    Other players I played with seemed to be able to do a lot of damage with D.Va as well, the spread on her primary fire isn't an issue with so many targets bunched up, and her rockets will burst down most of the specials.

    Mercy, as in Uprising, can insta-res which is much faster than waiting in the circle to revive a downed player. She's probably more useful on the harder difficulties though where the whole team can go down very quickly if they're not careful and cause an Assassin to spawn alongside another 'special'.

    I'm a Junkrat main, but I was really struggling to do much with him. Most of your abilities will move the enemies around a lot which can throw off the aim of your teammates, overall meaning less damage gets done.

    Moldy Tacos5000Haha I'm glad someone else found Doomfist as useless as I did during that. Also Primal Rage does not mean you can knock the Heavy bosses into the water lol.

    tynderiI mostly played healer because my team chose tanks or dps. Could you maybe add to the solution that one healer would be recommended as the mission will fail if everyone dies? Self-healing heroes is also good but then you would have to carry others if there's no healer.

    One good advice also is that on Normal difficulty you can run ahead to pick more mobs if there are only a few left. This will also trigger the mini bosses to advance faster. If people play together, there's not really a time where the team could get overwhelmed by the enemies.

    DixxxxxonThanks for the comments! I've updated the solution with your suggestions.

    dexter742+1 for Mei and Pharah, they were the most fun of the bunch, and both ended up getting the most kills. For healer I recommend Moira and Mercy. Moira had a good balance of healing and damage, especially with her secondary bouncing everywhere.
