Lifeweaver’s more than just a healer; he’s a playmaker, with a powerful set of abilities that will make every game of Overwatch 2 different when he arrives in season 4.
Lifeweaver, the new support hero coming to Overwatch 2 for the game’s fourth season, is more than just another healer. Lifeweaver’s kit of abilities will bring impactful gameplay changes to Blizzard’s hero shooter, providing teammates with new movement and protection capabilities, and serving as a major frustration to his opponents — and, in some cases, maybe even his allies.
Overwatch 2’s ninth support hero, Lifeweaver will heal his teammates by throwing them a charged Healing Blossom. He’ll also be able to dash quickly, giving himself a burst of health regeneration and an escape in tight situations. Lifeweaver can also summon temporary platforms that will give teammates tactical advantages and can foil enemies’ ultimate abilities.
But it’s Lifeweaver’s Life Grip ability that will require all players to stay on their toes. That ability also has the potential to become a major trolling opportunity, and, if teammates don’t properly communicate with each other, could spoil some big plays.
Here’s a breakdown of what Lifeweaver will bring to Overwatch 2.Lifeweaver’s abilities
Primary Fire
Healing Blossom — Hold to charge Lifeweaver’s biolight flower bud and release it to fire a targeted healing burst at a teammate.
Alternate Fire
Thorn Volley — After swapping to his alternate weapon (à la Torbjörn or Mercy), Lifeweaver can shoot a rapid-fire spread of damaging projectiles from his hand.
Secondary Fire
Petal Platform — Lifeweaver tosses out a flower-shaped platform.
