Summary
Blizzard has officially revealed the brand-newOverwatch 2Support hero Juno. Blizzard gave fans their first glimpse at Juno at last year’s BlizzCon. At the time, Blizzard confirmed that the new character would be coming to theOverwatch 2roster as part of Season 12, and showed off some of her concept art.
Back then, Juno was simply known by the codename “Space Ranger,” and fans didn’t know what they could expect from the character’s kit. WithOverwatch 2Season 11 winding down, the teases for the new Support hero have been ramping up, withJuno’s rocket landing on the Dorado map. Now Blizzard has fully pulled the curtain back on Juno’s abilities.
Juno’s weapons include her Mediblaster, which heals allies and damages enemies, as well as her Pulsar Torpedoes, which lock on to enemies and allies and function similarly to the Mediblaster. Juno can also use her Glide Boost for increased movement speed, deploy her Hyper Ring to increase the movement speed of allies that move through it, and take advantage of her Martian Overboots Passive, which lets her double jump and hover. Juno’s Ultimate is the Orbital Ray, which heals allies and boosts their damage output. Juno’s kit makes it seem like she should be a pretty simple and straight-forwardSupport heroto use, so it will be interesting to see how popular she is once she’s added to the roster in August.
