Overwatch features an international cast of powerful heroes with captivating personalities and backstories. Explore the full roster below.
Damage heroes seek out, engage, and obliterate the enemy with wide-ranging tools, abilities, and play styles. Fearsome but fragile, these heroes require backup to survive.
Flanker: Health packs restore more health.
Recon: Damaging enemies below half health reveals them.
Sharpshooter: Critical hits reduce your movement ability cooldowns.
Specialist: Eliminating an enemy briefly increases reload speed.
Support heroes empower their allies by healing, shielding, boosting damage, and disabling foes. As a support, you’re the backbone of your team’s survival.
Medic: Healing allies with your weapon also heals you.
Survivor: Movement abilities start passive health regeneration.
Tactician: Store excess ultimate charge.
Tank heroes soak up damage and shatter fortified positions, like closely grouped enemies and narrow chokepoints. If you’re a tank, you lead the charge.

Initiator: Gain a heal over time by staying airborne.
