Juno Abilities in Overwatch 2
Juno will be a support hero focused on mobility and healing. In the trailer, we get to see a sneak peak at her kit and how it will help her team dominate in a match.
Her weapon is called the Mediblaster. It damages enemies and heals allies depending who she hits.
Juno's first ability is a Glide Boost. This gives her a short burst into the air. From the trailer, it looks like Juno can glide after, allowing her to skate and fly in a more agile way than other heroes.
When it comes to support, Juno has Pulsar Torpedos that lock onto multiple heroes, damaging enemies and healing allies. Her Hyper Ring lets allied heroes pass through. Anyone that goes through will get a speed boost. The placement of this Hyper Ring will be a part of Juno's strategy.
The Space Ranger's ultimate is an Orbital Ray. This powerful energy comes from space and appears to damage enemies and provide some type of benefit to teammates who also get in its path. It's unclear what the benefit is, but the trailer shows teammates with a blue energy around them after getting in its path.
