Overwatch's Newest Support Character Moira Live Now On PTR

This year's BlizzCon brought tons of awesome announcements, one of which was the introduction of the devious new support hero Moira. We here at ComicBook got our hands on her early during the Blizzard celebration, but now Overwatch fans can try her out themselves because the latest hero is live on the Public Test Realm servers now!

Check out Moira's abilities below:

Moira's biotic abilities enable her to contribute healing or damage in any crisis. While Biotic Grasp gives Moira short-range options, her Biotic Orbs contribute longer-range, hands-off damage and healing; she can also Fade to escape groups or remain close to allies in need of support. Once she's charged Coalescence, Moira can save multiple allies from elimination at once or finish off weakened enemies.

Biotic Grasp: Using her left hand, Moira expends biotic energy to heal allies in front of her. Her right hand fires a long-range beam weapon that saps enemies' health, healing Moira and replenishing her biotic energy.

Biotic Orb: Moira launches a rebounding biotic sphere; she can choose between a regeneration effect that heals the allies it passes through, or a decay effect that deals damage to enemies.

Fade: Moira quickly teleports a short distance.

Coalescence: Moira channels a long-range beam that both heals allies and bypasses barriers to damage her enemies.

Her backstory is insane and definitely bridges a lot of the gaps in the Overwatch lore, including Reaper and his unique abilities. We personally loved her here, though she was a little difficult at first because her basic mechanics, but now it's time for the fans to try her out themselves to see how she fits.

Moira is now live on PTR, with a confirmed release date not yet set for when she will be fully added to the roster. To read our full thoughts on her as a playable character, and as the latest puzzle piece to the overall history, check out our previous coverage here.
