Classifications

In the Overwatch Universe, the three types of heroes you can play as are categorized into Tank, Damage, and Support heroes.  Team composition is vital, so knowing how heroes complement the team is important. Below is a summary of each hero, and their abilities in play. 

Tanks

She’s recently gained an international fanbase through streaming combat operations.

She has the most diverse set of abilities of all of the heroes. Her main weapons are twin fusion cannons, that fire continuously without needing to reload. Her mech is equipped with boosters so that she can fly, a defense matrix that absorbs projectiles, and micro missiles. When her mech is destroyed, she ejects and is equipped with a light ray pistol. Over time, she can call a fresh mech to reenter the battlefield. Her ultimate ability activates a timed reactor in the mech, and after ejecting from, explodes to deal massive damage to nearby enemies.
