Blizzard finally dropped the bombshell many an Overwatch fan has been waiting for: the identity of the game’s 24th hero.
Orisa is the latest member of the Overwatch crew, joining the Tank class as a defensive-focused character.
The new tank character has a fascinating and deep lore, tying into recent narrative revelations featuring Efi, the 11-year-old robotic engineer.
Efi built Orisa from parts from Numbani’s short-lived OR15 defense robots with the intent to create a robot that would protect the city.
Let’s take a look at Orisa’s gameplay abilities, and some of the skins you can expect to unlock.
FUSION DRIVE (Primary Weapon)
The Fusion Drive is an automatic weapon projectile, which slows Orisa down while firing.
FORTIFY
Fortify reduces damage taken, and allows Orisa to continue moving regardless of enemy attack.
HALT
Launches a graviton charge, which is launched, and then detonated (two inputs). The resulting sphere drags all enemies towards it.
PROTECTIVE BARRIER
Creates an impenetrable barrier.
SUPERCHARGED (ULTIMATE)
Deploys a device that increases damage dealt by allies.
