Overwatch is welcoming its 26th hero with the addition of Moira into the game. Announced at Blizzcon 2017, Moira is a support hero that deals massive damage as well as capable of healing. Her announcement reel shows her blasting beams and orbs making her like archetype spell casters but is heavily science-powered.
Her backstory reveals she is a Talon geneticist, and formerly a member of Reyes’ (Reaper) Blackwatch unit.
Jeff Kaplan describes Moira as being very fun to play and jokingly mentions her name spelling is “OP AF”
Moira’s Skills
BIOTIC GRASP
Using her left hand, Moira expends biotic energy to heal allies in front of her. Her right hand fires a long-range beam weapon that saps enemies’ health, healing Moira and replenishing her biotic energy.
BIOTIC ORB
Moira launches a rebounding biotic sphere; she can choose between a regeneration effect that heals the allies it passes through, or a decay effect that deals damage to enemies.
FADE
Moira quickly teleports a short distance.
COALESCENCE
Moira channels a long-range beam that both heals allies and bypasses barriers to damage her enemies.
Moira will soon be playable in the PTR.
Introducing Moira—a Talon geneticist as brilliant as she is ambitious.
