Overwatch Game and Character Settings: SUPPORT

In multiplayer video games, we normally assign roles to each of the members to ensure the team"s victory. Overwatch already took care of that scenario for us as they created characters based on the team"s needs and assignments, giving them the weapons and abilities needed to sustain offense as well as defense in the game.

And in every clash, one always serves as the team support, and these are the characters we can choose from the list of SUPPORT characters in Overwatch.

Overwatch SUPPORT: Zenyatta

Years after the Omnic Crisis, an unbelievable thing happen - robots came to realization of spiritual enlightenment, believing that like humans, robots were also created with a soul. Led by spiritual leader Tekhartha Mondatta, they began a dogmatic style of teaching about societal harmony between humans and robots. But one of them disagrees with the way they implement things - Tekhartha Zenyatta.

Zenyatta believes in the idea of interpersonal connection between humans and robots to learn to forgive and leave the wounds of Omnic Crisis behind. For this reason, he decided to leave his group and find inner peace but if needed, Zenyatta swore to protect the innocent whether they are humans or omnic.

Zenyatta possesses a destructive energy orb which can also be used either to amplify damage to enemies when attached to them or restore allies" health. Entering his Ultimate Ability Transcedence, he can easily restore his life and nearby allies; however, this renders him unable to use other abilities though he cannot also be damaged by enemies.

Overwatch SUPPORT: Symmetra

Satya Vaswani came from a poor community but following the Omnic Crisis, she was discovered by the Vishkar Corp. that has the abilities of what they are looking for - becoming a light-bending architech. And she seems to be a natural-born talent, earning for herself the moniker "Symmetra".

With her newfound powers, she was sent around the world to expand the Corp."s mission and influence; however, she doubts whether her actions serves the greater good of humanity.

Symmetra hones a short-range Photon Projector beam that can target an enemy continuously, increasing its damage the longer she emits this beam. She can also create a medium-range Sentry Turret that can slow down enemies within range.

Symmetra"s hard-light shield is considered the best defensive ability in the game as it can absorb portion of the enemy"s damage until the shielded ally is alive. Her Ultimate Ability, Teleportation, lets her create an exit pad where she and her allies can use to move to and from the team"s starting point.

Overwatch SUPPORT: Lucio

Lucio Correia Dos Santos is a legendary underground performer who came from a poor village in Rio de Janeiro. But when Vishkar Corp. entered the scene giving promises after promises of good life amongst their community but never came to reality, he decided to steal Vishkar"s sonic technology and rallies his people to suppress the oppressor.

With this success, he became an instant celebrity. And in this fame, he saw an opportunity to make a difference and make the world a better place to live in.

Lucio"s main weapon is a Sonic Amplifier that can knockback enemies. He can also make his teammates move faster or regenerate life points faster depending on the song he plays, even boosting the effects when he increases the volume of his speakers.

His Ultimate Ability enables him to create personal barrier on nearby allies.

Overwatch SUPPORT: Mercy

Dr. Angela Ziegler heads the Surgery Department of a prominent Swiss hospital and also a brilliant scientist. Discovering a breakthrough in the field of nanobiology, Overwatch decided to offer her a job that makes her save more lives. During her stay with Overwatch, she created the Valkyrie swift-response suit - a helping hand both for the sick and needy, as well as a force to protect the innocents.

Mercy"s Caduceus Staff allows affected ally to either increase health or damage. She also carries a Caduceus Blaster sidearm for defensive purpose. When an ally is in danger, she can use her Valkyrie suit to fly reach them faster for assistance. Watching her land from the sky makes her really, really angelic.

Using her Ultimate Ability called Resurrect; Mercy can bring nearby dead allies back to life with full health.

Overwatch will be available for closed beta version release this coming fall so for those who wants to register earlier, visit the Overwatch official website or you can click on this link.
