Overwatch 2 Wuyang gameplay trailer
Here is Wuyang’s Overwatch 2 gameplay trailer in full. It starts off by showing a bit of Wuyang’s personality before he uses his weapon, the Xuanwu Staff, to control a ball of water. The hero guides its trajectory before it explodes on Freja.
We then see him use his Guardian Wave ability, which sends out a wave of water that heals his allies and attempts to knock back Hazard. However, Lifeweaver uses Life Grip to save the tank hero.
Next, the support hero uses Restorative Stream to place a passive healing stream of water on D.Va. He does this to other allies throughout the video as well.
Wuyang then rides a stream of water, moves faster, and jumps higher thanks to Rushing Torrent.
As for his ultimate, it’s Tidal Blast. We see him wrap Reaper and himself up in some protective water. This water then explodes and knocks down enemies while healing both Wuyang and Reaper.
