While all snipers provide support, Overwatch‘s newest character, Ana, is bringing new meaning to the Support Sniper class.

A mix of teammate buffing and tactical defense, Ana is capable of providing long-distance healing via her specialized sniper rifle loaded with health rounds. Simultaneously, it appears her unique weapon can deal continuous damage that momentarily stays with an enemy.

Ana’s arsenal also includes a sleep dart that can temporarily stun opponents, causing them to fall to the floor, and a biotic grenade that simultaneously heals teammates and damages opponents standing within its area-of-effect field.

Finally, Ana’s Ultimate technique, referred to as Nano Boost, superchargers her teammates, buffing allies damage, movement speed, and damage resistance – great for buffing up a Reinhardt and moving in to capture a control point.

Lore wise, Ana is Pharah’s mother, left for dead on the battlefield. Blizzard has been teasing a new character for a while now, leaving clues both in-game and on their social media handles, using the codename “Sombra.” It will be interesting to see how Blizzard continues to develop Ana’s story and if Sombra was her previous codename or a separate character entirely.

Overwatch players on PC can experiment with Ana today by selecting “PTR: Overwatch” from the Battle.net client on the region/account screen.
