Juno – A breakdown of Overwatch 2’s newest hero

Juno has landed! After the dust has settled following her playtest phase, Juno is now ready for Season 12 of Overwatch 2. The playtest of Juno was welcomed with open arms, and the community has been excited for the new support hero ever since. Now, with the new season right around the corner, she is ready to be in every game of Overwatch for the next couple weeks.

Now that Juno has landed from Mars, she's ready to fulfill her role as the speedy support she is. Juno provides a great mix of healing and damage, while being able to be fly around a map.

Juno's primary and secondary fire are her Mediblaster and Pulsar Torpedoes respectively. Her Mediblaster is a burst fire weapon that both damages enemies and heals allies. On the other hand there's her secondary fire, the Pulsar Torpedoes. This two part secondary fire first locks onto nearby enemies and allies and then when it's fired, the torpedoes launch and deal damage and heal allies over time.

In terms of Juno's abilities in Overwatch 2, she has a total of two and her passive, like most other heroes. Her Glide Boost ability is her main mobility tool. The ability allows her to glide horizontally with increased movement speed. Combined with her passive which allows her to double jump and hold her jump to hover, Juno is going to be harder to catch than an U.F.O. picture. Then she has her Hyper Ring ability, which is a mobility tool for her team. Allies that pass through the ring gain increased movement speed.

Last but not least is her ultimate ability, Orbital Ray. Although Juno's ultimate sounds like it rains down destruction on the Overwatch 2 heroes, it rather does the opposite. Orbital Ray calls down a beam from the sky that moves forward. Allies who are engulfed in the beam gain increased damage and are healed. Although the specific numbers aren't available right now, the ability is similar to Ana's Nano Boost but rather than reducing damage, the beam heals.

Juno will be available as soon as Season 12 of Overwatch 2 launches for the entire Overwatch 2 community to enjoy. And as she releases, be sure to grind out your ranked matches!
