Another Talon member enters the ever growing list of heroes in Overwatch. Hero 31, nicknamed Sigma, is a former astrophysicist trapped in a constant battle with the laws of science and himself after encountering a catastrophic Space accident.
Its reveal trailer showed some of the Hero’s personality, bringing the concept of real insanity and mad scientists to the table.
Speaking of shifting the meta, Sigma is an exceptional tank hero. His abilities include a defensive move called Kinetic Grasp which absorbs damage and projectiles to convert into protective shields for himself. Accretion is a heavy attack that lets him throw a massive boulder to his enemies with knockback. Experimental Shield sends out a projectile shield akin to Orisa’s that can protect his allies with 1,500 Health.
In addition to that, his main attack is called the Hyper Spheres, a low-damage mid-range projectile similar to Zenyatta’s orbs, but can ricochet through walls and deal blast damage.
Finally, his ultimate ability is the Gravitic Flux, a Black Hole that can send his enemies into the air and slam them down, dealing massive damage.
Hero 31 is but the first of the many ‘teased’ Overwatch heroes coming out this year.
You can test sigma out on the PTR (Public Test Region) right now and play with others. Unfortunately, the PTR is only available for PC users. PlayStation 4 and Xbox One users might have to wait before they can test out Talon’s powerful weapon of mass destruction.
