After the launch of Overwatch 2, even experienced gamers are sure to relearn how to play their favorite classes, as well as discover what changes affected a particular character. Tanks are the most interesting hero type in Overwatch, mainly because of their increased health and survivability.
doom fist
This hero has undergone the most changes, and now he acts as a “tank”. Doomfist’s health has been noticeably improved, allowing him to take all incoming damage without too much effort. New Character Ability “Powerful Block” also great for absorbing damage. We recommend choosing it for players who are just getting acquainted with Overwatch 2.
Dawn
Zorya also went through a number of changes, many of which strengthened the character. Unlike Doomfist, Zarya is a light tank that can be played very aggressively. If one of your damage-dealing heroes starts giving you trouble, you can use it to get rid of the enemy quickly.
The character’s defensive skills are very useful:
- “Protective Barrier” will allow you to remain invulnerable for a while.
- “Distant Barrier” surrounds an ally with an impenetrable energy field.
Zarya’s health points have also been recalculated. The maximum amount of HP has increased, making her one of the most durable fighters in Overwatch 2 at the moment. In general, beginners will easily master the gameplay for this character as he has balanced characteristics.
Queen of the Vultures
The Vulture Queen is one of the new heroines in Overwatch 2 and is the best option for players who prefer aggressive gameplay. Her health reserve is quite modest, but this minus is equalized by unique abilities.
Skill Combination “rampage” and “Adrenaline rush” allows you to deal significant damage to enemies, block healing and also restore the heroine’s health. Don’t underestimate the ability – the inability to heal makes opponents an easy target. Not many heroes in the game can counter this effect.
The queen also does a lot of damage serrated blade, and when reactivated, the weapon contracts with the stricken hero. Of course, for a comfortable game, this character on your team must be a healer. This is due to the Vulture Queen’s low vitality.
roadhog
Previously, Roadhog was difficult to get along with due to his high health pool. If there is a healer on the team today with this hero, he can fight against opponents for a long time without retreating. He has slightly less active abilities than other heroes, but that doesn’t make Roadhog any less effective.
For close range the character uses metal pitcher. With help chain hook it can attract hit opponents, and the skill “Turbo pig” will help to inflict great damage on enemies in front of you and throw their bodies at a sufficient distance.
If you need in battle “delay”, use the option with the same name. Upon activation, Roadhog restores health and reduces damage taken for a short period of time.
Reinhardt
The huge gray-haired knight, dressed in armor, is quite easy to master. Like the heroes described above, this one has also been improved: health points have been increased and some new attributes have been added.
Playing as Reinhardt Wilhelm doesn’t require a lot of skill, and a newcomer to the series can easily use an aggressive style. Assets “Jerk” allows you to quickly push opponents into the walls and stun them, and “Energy Barrier” protects the hero from enemy attacks.
Orisa
Many Overwatch gamers will remember that Orisa was considered a “second-rate Reinhardt” because of her skills in the original game. Now she is back as a “tank” with unique abilities.
Skill “Spear Spider” allows Orisa to absorb all damage, including melee attacks, and knock back nearby enemies. “Protective Field” gives the hero extra health and reduces the amount of incoming damage. In addition, Orisa cannot be hit or sedated at this time.
All these skills together make her a very formidable opponent. Add to that a support character focused on restoring Orisa’s life force, and the enemy team has next to nothing to stop you.
