Rumor: Overwatch 2 Leak Reveals Perk Abilities for New Support Hero

As an enthusiastic admirer, I’m thrilled to share that a reliable source, known for their insights into Overwatch 2, has recently unveiled the potential Perks for our upcoming Season 18 hero, Wuyang – the new support character. If these Perks turn out to be authentic, they offer an intriguing glimpse into the abilities that Wuyang will bring to the game.

In simple terms, “Wuyang” is the character name for Hero 44 in Overwatch 2, which will be launched during Season 18 on August 26th. Originally known as “Aqua” during his unveiling at the Overwatch 2 Spotlight event, this free-spirited scholar from Wuxing University’s Water College possesses excellent mobility, damage output, and requires a steep learning curve to master effectively.

Recently, some leaks have given us a sneak peek at Wuyang before his official unveiling. A reliable source, Wiki_ow, who has been accurate with previous Overwatch 2 leaks, released an image of Wuyang’s portrait and outlined his four abilities or Perks. Although it remains undetermined which ones are Major or Minor Perks, the listed choices are Overflow, Ebb and Flow, Balance, and Falling Rain, each offering different advantages like restoring resources, rewinding the Guardian Wave ability, increasing healing after causing damage, and controlling three water orbs respectively.

Examining these Perks more closely gives us a glimpse into how Wuyang might operate. It seems he’ll have two distinct types of resources: one for his primary attack, which appears to be the manipulation of water orbs, and another for a healing secondary attack called Restorative Stream, which may also provide passive healing effects. Rushing Torrent resembles an ability similar to Kiriko’s Swift Step or Lifeweaver’s Rejuvenating Dash in Overwatch 2, while Guardian Wave could be his ultimate move, inflicting damage as it moves along a path.

Wuyang Abilities Based on Overwatch 2 Leaks

  • Primary fire – Controllable water orbs that explode to deal damage, has at least 10 ammo
  • Restorative Stream – Likely a healing alt fire with a separate resource and passive element
  • Rushing Torrent – Activated ability, likely for mobility
  • Guardian Wave – Potential ultimate, deals damage along a trajectory

Keep in mind that the details about these Perks might not be entirely accurate or may still undergo changes before they’re officially unveiled. Moreover, it’s possible that Wuyang possesses abilities beyond what’s shown in these Perks. Fortunately, fans won’t have to wait long as Overwatch 2 has scheduled a trial period for Wuyang from August 14 to 18. This means players can try him out about a week before his full release. The support hero’s kit is expected to be unveiled close to that time, so fans should stay alert to see how closely these leaks match up with Wuyang’s official debut.
