Orisa, Overwatch’s Newest Hero

One of the biggest parts of Overwatch are the different heroes and their abilities. The official Overwatch twitter has been teasing a new hero for a while, and we’ve finally seen her. Her name is Orisa, a rebuilt robot from the Omnic Crisis.

We’ve been given information on all of Orisa’s abilities. First of all, she’s in the tank category, like Reinhardt and D.Va. Her main weapon is the Fusion Driver, a long ranged machine gun. Her alternate fire brings in any opposing enemies within her range. Her first special move is called Fortify, which makes her more defensive, and prevent her from getting knocked back. Her other special move is Protective Barrier, which is essentially Reinhardt’s Shield, in the form of Mei’s Ice Wall. Orisa’s ultimate is the Supercharger, which shoots a damage boost towards any teammates if they are in its range.

While Orisa does look very interesting as a character, she looks like she’s going to be very broken, and need a lot of changes to make her more balanced.
