Overwatch 2 new hero Wuyang's abilities revealed: Everything we know

Wuyang's abilities in Overwatch 2 have been officially revealed through a survey hosted by Blizzard Entertainment. Wuyang is the upcoming Support class hero joining OW2's growing roster. Players got a chance to take quite a detailed look at their kit and how each of the characters' abilities would function in the game.

In this article, we will provide you with a detailed brief on Wuyang's abilities in Overwatch 2. Read below to know more.

All of Wuyang's abilities in Overwatch 2 revealed

Being a Support class hero, Wuyang's abilities are centered towards promoting teamwork, providing healing, and making openings for other members of their team to take advantage of. One of the biggest differences that we have seen with this Support-class hero is that they lack self-healing in their kit. This could potentially push them down the meta ladder when they eventually release; however, their abilities definitely feel powerful enough to contend against the top-rankers of this class.

Here's a detailed look into the different segments of Wuyang's kit:

Weapon

• Xuwanwu Staff: This is Wuyang's primary weapon. Press the attack button to fire a damaging water orb. You can hold the button to continue its trajectory and further empower its explosive capability.
• Restorative Stream: This is your alt-fire. You can place a continuous, steady stream of healing on your ally. You can further hold the button to enhance the stream of healing, simultaneously consuming resources.

Abilities

• Passive: Regenerate health quickly.
• Guardian Wave: Send forth a wave of water that increases the amount of total healing received by your allies. It also knocks back enemies that come in contact with the wave.
• Rushing Torrent: With this ability, you will be able to ride a wave and move faster and higher.
• Tidal Blast (Ultimate ability): Protect yourself, or your ally, with water that explodes after a short duration. Any enemies that are in your vicinity will be knocked down and heal the target within the bubble.

Perks

Minor

• Overflow: Wuyang gains 10 ammo and 33% healing resource whenever Rushing Torrent is activated.
