Gamescom 2015 : Overwatch’s new character is called Lúcio. Here’s the know-how.

A Jet Set-esque character in  Overwatch? Sign me in. 

At Gamescom 2015 Blizzard showed a new overwatch character called Woolie Lúcio. His entire thing seems to be music and skating.

I actually got my hands on this groovy (That’s what the kids say nowadays right? Or was it fresh?) new characters and my first hands on Overwatch in its entirety but that’s for another time. Lúcio’s main weapon is power. What power you may ask? The power of music that’s what power. He’s fairly weak but should be played the way he was meant. As a support character. His gun looks like a sound horn with audio meters on it. He can switch between two modes. Speed mode and heal mode. Now this is the part where I say it was fairly hard to know what to do since the game was in German. When you activated his first ability in speed mode … gets a boost and (tho I’m not sure) his allies to. And when in heal mode he heals team mates around him including himself. Other than that I didn’t really play that much of him because the match just didn’t alow this character to do his thing.

I just watched the trailer and I didn’t even know he had a wall run. I guess this is the Titanfall inspired character.
