Huzzah!! That’s what Overwatch players will deftly exclaim as Blizzard announce the newest addition to the character roster of the ever successful hero shooter.
Ana, a new support character and Pharrah’s mother, provides long-range support and healing thanks to her biotic sniper rifle. Healing team-mates at range and employing damage over time for foes. She’s capable of using an area of effect healing device, ala Soldier 76, but the catch being that it harms enemy players.
Where this character seems to fall down is in close range, so she’ll need to reply on her sleeping dart to take her enemies out of the fray. Of course she has an amazing support ultimate too in the form of nano-boost, turning teammates into super soldiers capable of hitting harder and taking more direct fire, so Winston could really turn into a super-ape.
Sadly, she’s currently only available to testers in PC, but we’ll let you know when she makes her debut on Xbox One, in the meantime, check out the announce trailer after the break.
