New Overwatch 2 healer just dropped.

Overwatch 2's has a second railgun character now, but instead of a DPS like Sojourn, she's a support who harnesses the power of the sun.

Illari is Overwatch 2's new hero coming this Thursday with the launch of season 6, and she seems to be built for strong damage output, similar to supports like Zenyatta and Kiriko. Instead of purely healing like Mercy, Illari slots into the hero shooter's widening definition of support—which often demands a balance of DPS and healing.

The Peruvian healer's abilities are a little tricky to decipher from the trailer released today, but I think it's safe to say she'll operate similarly to other damage-and-healing supports, with a primary offensive attack and one or two ways to heal allies.

It's possible that healing drone is the crux of Illari's healing kit, but it's more likely she has one more ability not shown in the trailer, perhaps a secondary fire on her gun similar to Baptiste and Ana. Overwatch 2's sixth season, Invasion, will also bring a battle pass themed around the evil Null Sector robots you might've fought in its previous PvE missions. There are a variety of skins shown in the trailer, including a customizable Mythic skin for everyone's favorite senior healer, Ana. The sniper support is now a robot sniper support with a white faceplate and no eyes.
