Genji

Genji is one of the best heroes overall because of his burst damage and high mobility. In Overwatch 2, Genji is far more dangerous as heroes like Cassidy and Brigitte can’t take him down like they could in OW 1.

His abilities, like Dragonblade, make him a significant damage-dealing Hero that can destroy any opponent. The first try of any team facing him is to take him out as soon as possible.

Kiriko

She is a new hero in OW 2 with incredible abilities like Kunai and Healing Ofuda. Kunai is a projectile ability that can deal massive damage to targets.

Kiriko has a versatile skillset which makes her one of the best heroes in Overwatch 2. She can heal the team and utilize abilities like wall climbing to dive into enemies.

It would be best to work on your aim to utilize the abilities like Kunai properly. If you manage to do a headshot, you can also use her as an assassin.

Other than that, if you manage to combo her attacks with other heroes, you can take out the whole enemy team in a few moments.

Orisa

Orisa is a DPS hero on Overwatch 2 who has a health advantage over other heroes. She has an automatic cannon equipped which she uses to make sure that your frontline is constantly lethal.

Using her Fortify and Javelin Spin abilities, she can avoid a near-death experience. Additionally, she can use her Energy Javelin to push her targets around, interrupting their attacks.

The only drawback she has is that she has a hard time breaking through the opposition’s defense system and you must have your team members assist you in this situation.

Lucio

He is another great hero who is pretty much the same as in Overwatch 1. Lucio is supportive but uses a somewhat different approach than typical support heroes.

Lucio uses his Crossfade ability to increase the movement speed of his entire team and give them the upper hand over the opponent teams.

He also has healing abilities, and his ultimate can give a 750 Overhealth boost at the click of a button. You can use her with support heroes like Kiriko or Mercy to get a well-balanced team.

Zarya

She is the best hero you can use as a tank in Overwatch 2. Zarya is the most muscular woman in the world, and her abilities are no different.

You can use her Particle Barrier to generate energy while enemies are firing at your team. While placing this barrier on teammates, you have to be careful.

You may not be able to place a barrier on the teammate again, so make sure to use your team to give backup.

Sombra

Sombra is a damage-dealing Hero in Overwatch 2, using her fantastic skill set to put opponents in danger. She can easily hack targets and deal a lot of damage to them.

Sombra focuses more on taking out enemies than disrupting them because of her excellent DPS abilities and passive hacks.

She performs well with Kiriko, as you can combo their attacks to destroy the enemies. You can move Sombra in dangerous places using invisibility, and Kiriko can back her up.

Kiriko’s teleport and healing abilities make this duo a nightmare for the opponent teams in Overwatch 2. All these things make Sombra a more important Hero in Overwatch 2.
