A new support! Lucio enters the Nexus

Talents and Abilities revealed! Will Lucio become the next top-tier support?

Lucios was just revealed as the newest Overwatch character to enter the Nexus. More importantly, we have a new support hero! It's been a long time since a new support was added to the game (think Auriel!) so even the most adamant fans of a certain Russian Starcraft character should be happy about something.

Let's dive into his talents and abilities.

Trait

Wall Ride (D)

When moving alongside impassable terrain, Lúcio can walk through other units, and his Movement Speed is increased by 20%. This effect stacks with other Movement Speed bonuses.

Basic Abilities

Soundwave (Q)

Deal damage to enemies in a cone-shaped area and knock them back.

Crossfade (W)

Play one of two tracks that passively provide allied Heroes with either a Speed Boost or a Healing Boost in a large radius around you. Activate Crossfade to swap tracks.

Healing Boost: Restore a small amount of Health every second to Lúcio and nearby allied Heroes.

Speed Boost: Increase the Movement Speed of Lúcio and nearby allied Heroes by 15%.

Amp It Up (E)

Raise Lúcio’s Crossfade track volume for 3 seconds, amping Speed Boost to 45% increased Movement Speed, and significantly increasing the Healing rate of Healing Boost.

Heroic Abilities

Sound Barrier (R)

After 1 second, Lúcio and nearby allied Heroes gain a massive Shield that rapidly decays over the next 6 seconds.

Reverse Amp (R)

Blast Lúcio’s Crossfade track at enemy Heroes for 4 seconds, causing Healing Boost to inflict damage every second, and Speed Boost to Slow Movement Speed by 45%.

Passive: Increase Amp It Up’s duration to 4 seconds.
