Overwatch: Echo Abilities Revealed

The newest Overwatch hero – a robot with advanced artificial intelligence named Echo – is already available on the Public Test Realm. Contrary to the expectations of many, the new hero is a DPS, not a support. Below is the list of the hero’s abilities.

• Tri-Shot: Echo fires 3 shots at once, in a triangle pattern.
• Sticky Bombs: Echo fires a volley of sticky bombs that detonates after a delay.
• Flight: Echo surges forward quickly, then can fly freely.
• Focused Beam: Echo channels a beam for a few seconds, dealing very high damage to targets with less than half health.
• Glide: Echo can glide while falling.
• Duplicate: Echo duplicates a targeted enemy hero and gains use of their abilities.

Earlier Blizzard uploaded a video that tells the story of the character. The game’s lead designed Jeff Kaplan announced during a livestream that the developers are currently also working on multiple tank and healer heroes.
