Know your role

Overwatch 2 hero team roles

Each hero is built around a specific team role - knowing where you need to be and what you need to do will be crucial to your team's success. Victory demands teamwork.

Damage

Damage heroes seek out, engage, and obliterate the enemy with wide-ranging tools, abilities and play styles. Fearsome but fragile, these heroes require backup to survive.

Tank

Tank heroes soak damage and shatter fortified positions, like closely grouped enemies and narrow chokepoints. If you’re a tank, you lead the charge.

Support

Support heroes empower their allies by healing, shielding, boosting damage, and disabling foes. As a support, you’re the backbone of your team’s survival.
