Domina From Overwatch, Will You Be My Valentine? – IGN – Gameplay, Leaks & Tech

Have you ever ever fallen in love?

I did almost a decade in the past, with Overwatch, Blizzard’s hero shooter of near-immaculate design. However that relationship sadly grew to become strained, distant even, ever since its resolution to maneuver on from these preliminary glory days and reinvent itself as a sequel. Nicely, now Overwatch has gone and seduced me once more, like a Hanzo scatter arrow delivered straight from Cupid’s bow. And it is all thanks to at least one lady: the company villainess tank, Domina. And it has completely nothing to do with these thighs.

This week noticed the launch of a brand new period for Overwatch. Blizzard has ditched the “2”, carried out a long-overdue menu overhaul, kicked off a model new, year-long story, and, crucially, added 5 model new heroes to the roster. You’ve acquired Anran, a fire-fan-wielding damage-dealer; Emre, a tactical operative outfitted with extra firearms than precise arms; Mizuki, a cursed ex-yakuza member with a therapeutic hat; and Jet Pack Cat, who’s, nicely, a cat with a jet pack. After which final, however actually not least, is Domina, an extremely harmful tank with a lethal pulse-action laser beam, explosive crystal bombs, and an enormous further pair of mechanical arms that erupt out of her shoulders. I believe I really like her.

Vaira, if I needs to be so daring as to make use of her actual identify, is the kind of aggressive tank character that I’ve all the time been drawn to in Overwatch. With almost 300 hours clocked in dive tank D.Va alone, it’s fairly clear that there’s nothing extra satisfying to me than launching a behind-enemy-lines assault on an goal and absorbing all the reverse staff’s consideration as I attempt to trigger as a lot chaos as attainable. Domina isn’t a dive tank, although. Sure, she will be able to trigger large quantities of injury like everybody’s favorite South Korean mech fanatic can, but when I have been to check her to anybody, it will be a strong mixture of the reworked Orisa and Reaper.

Domina is a power to be reckoned with with regards to taking the enemy head-on, due to a few expertise that deter foes. One is a really giant defend that looms excessive over her and her teammates. I’ve to say I used to be initially apprehensive about this means, since I nonetheless carry psychological scars from that interval when Overwatch was a whole shield-fest 5 – 6 years in the past — by no means once more do I need to see a Bastion and a Torbjorn turret sitting behind an Orisa and Reinhardt defend combo on that dreadful first Paris choke level. However Domina’s power area has a enjoyable wrinkle that performs tactically into each groups’ method, as squares could be punched out of it with a reasonable quantity of injury, creating literal home windows of alternative for these confronted with it. It’s a sensible method to shielding in Overwatch that, not less than proper now, feels balanced for each attackers and defenders.

Then there’s her sonic repulsors, a pair of vitality blasts fired from the palms of her further mechanical fingers. They not solely deal a bit of injury, but additionally boop folks away from her. I’ve already had perhaps an excessive amount of enjoyable pushing gamers off the sting of Illios and Lijiang Palace’s perilous factors like a super-sized Lucio. Mix that with a crystal grenade that floats by way of the air in the direction of enemies earlier than detonating, and a laser beam that fires off a shotgun-like burst on the finish of a set off pull, like a devilish mixture of Symmetra and Reaper’s weapons, and you’ve got a hero who can single-handedly run a complete match. I did inform you it wasn’t in regards to the thighs.
