Overwatch Season 6 Invasion Patch Notes & New Hero Abilities

Overwatch 2's largest update ever, Season 6: Invasion, is now live, featuring the new Support hero Illari, Flashpoint, and sweeping balance changes.

New Support Hero: Illari Illari's primary fire is hitscan, which charges up between shots, up to 75 damage. Her primary fire only has 1.5x critical damage multiplier, compared to the standard 2x. Illari's primary fire damage begins dropping off at 30m, capping out at 50m. Her secondary fire shoots similar to Zarya's or Symmetra's beams, and uses a heat system instead of ammo, overheating if you spend it all. Using her secondary fire pauses the charge on her primary fire. Illari's Healing Pylon lasts indefinitely. It has 150 HP, with 75 being regenerating shields. Her ultimate requires 90 damage on a marked target to detonate, with the explosion doing 120 AoE damage, potentially starting a chain reaction. Flashpoint Flashpoint is a new core game mode with 2 new maps: New Junk City & Suravasa. Flashpoint is similar to Control, where you win by controlling an objective until you reach 100%. The Flashpoint will rotate after the current one is captured, and the first team to capture 5 Flashpoints wins the game. Flashpoint will be enabled in competitive play later in the season.
