Game Update: Overwatch 2

While the full breakdown of Season 4 for Overwatch 2 is still a few days away, Blizzard have announced the new character coming to the game, welcome Lifeweaver.

This is the official description of this newest hero.

Hailing from Thailand, Lifeweaver is characterized by his love and respect for nature as well as his advanced biolight technology. This groundbreaking technology is woven throughout his abilities, and it plays a pivotal role in the healing and utility aspects of his kit.

Lifeweaver has a unique playstyle that introduces a few new mechanics into the game, so let’s take a walk through his kit and how he was developed. His final look is the result of a culmination of many different teams, including various concept art, hero design, and narrative. One of these pieces features an older physician who drew healing energy into his hands and blasted it into his allies, a bit like Moira’s Coalescence.

One of the most useful attacks will be that of Healing Blossom, which as its name implies provides healing to your allies. As it is a chargable attack, the longer you charge it up the more healing it can do when it lands. Check out the infographic below, to get an idea of his other attacks and skills.
