Two New Characters Prepare For Battle In Overwatch

Blizzard have announced two new characters for their upcoming shooter Overwatch, Mercy and Zenyetta.

First up is Mercy, a healer class who when using her Caduceus Staff can heal or increase the amount of damage a player can do. But her strongest ability is Guardian Angel, which Mercy flies towards a targeted ally, allowing her to reach them quickly and provide assistance in crucial moments.



Next up is Zenyetta, a wandering guru, Zenyatta projects his destructive energy orbs either individually, or in a rapid-fire volley after a few seconds spent gathering power. But for those that want to have a a lot of fun, there is always Transcendence. Zenyatta enters a state of heightened existence for a short period of time. While transcendent, Zenyatta cannot use abilities or weapons, but is immune to damage and automatically restores his health and that of nearby allies.
