Check out some of the Overwatch 2 accounts for sale over at U7BUY! Support heroes in Overwatch 2 play a crucial role in every match. As you can imagine, the support is responsible for making sure that their teammates are always alive and strong throughout their fights. This makes this role intimidating at first but can be fun once you get the hang of it!
Each support hero in Overwatch 2 has powers and abilities that revolve around healing or helping their teammates in battle. Therefore, each hero has a unique way of doing so which can take time to master. However, this also means that you have a higher chance of finding the perfect Overwatch support hero to play for you!
To delve more into Overwatch support hero types, some are better suited for fighting than others. Most of the Overwatch 2 support heroes have weapons or specific ways to be able to defend themselves in combat. However, there are a few other Overwatch 2 heroes who are primarily focused on their ability to heal others, which can make them more challenging for some.
The first support hero in Overwatch 2 to go over is Ana. Ana uses her sniper rifle as her way of attacking and healing, but this means having a pretty good aim when playing as her. Ana can shoot at her teammates with her long range to heal others or cause her enemies to take damage over time similar to poison!
If you are playing Ana and don’t trust your aim or your teammates are too far away, you can also throw her grenades! Through the explosion will the grenade give a health boost to your team and cause damage to enemies. Ana can also utilize her sleep darts to knock out any enemy on the ground instantly for a short period of time.
Baptiste is a bit more of a fighting-heavy support hero in Overwatch 2. He has a main gun used for dealing damage and grenades for healing like Ana’s. Baptiste, however, does come with a special bonus with said grenades. If you manage to hit a teammate directly, they will gain a bonus health Overwatch 2 boost!
Baptiste also has other special healing abilities that can be a game-changer in a match. One of his most powerful moves is his regenerative burst ability. This can not only heal others around Baptiste over time, but even be used to heal himself when in a tight pinch! He also makes for a great defense as he can use a protective shield to protect anyone within it from gunfire.
Brigitte is also a very defensive and aggressive Overwatch 2 support hero thanks to her multiple abilities. Just like Baptiste, she also has two weapons meant for different uses. The first is her ax for powerful melee attacks while the second is her shield that she can hold up at any time. The shield can be used both for defense and to knock back enemies when they get too close for comfort.
Brigitte is one of the most aggressive supports in Overwatch 2 due to how she is rewarded for attacking enemies. Each time she successfully lands a melee attack she will begin healing surrounding teammates for a short period. She can even use a whip to strike enemies from afar and knock them back as well!
Opposite of the previous heroes, Kiriko is much more healing focused. Her main weapon against enemies is her kunai, which can deal headshots if skilled enough. Other than that, the rest of her abilities are meant for healing her teammates only. She can even manage to get rid of any negative effects on her team through her protection suzu ability!
Lucio is a very fun Overwatch 2 support hero to play thanks to his speed and flexibility in gameplay. He is able to use his weapon to knock back and attack enemies or heal others and give out speed boosts too! His most popular ability is that he can wall run on the side of almost any building. This makes him great at moving quickly around the map and avoiding attacks.
Mercy is another support hero in Overwatch 2 who is solely focused on healing, making her a sort of mascot for the support role. Her staff is used for healing teammates through a golden beam. She can even fly around the map to make her access to her team easier all while avoiding getting shot. She can even revive players quickly whenever they are down! Moira and Zenyatta are incredibly like each other in how they play, especially when it comes to using orbs! Both Overwatch 2 heroes use different orbs to heal teammates to deal damage. Both are much more aggressive in battle compared to the other heroes thanks to this, but it does make them fun to play just like the rest of the supports!
