New Overwatch Hero Ashe Abilities
The Viper - "Ashe's semi-automatic rifle fires quick shots, or she can use her aim-down sights for a more damaging, precise shot."
Dynamite - "Ashe throws an explosive that detonates after a short delay or immediately when shot. The explosion from Dynamite also lights enemies on fire, dealing damage over time."
Coach Gun - "Ashe blasts enemies in front of her, knocking them away and propelling herself backward for added mobility."
B.O.B - "Ashe summons her trusted omnic sidekick, B.O.B., who charges forward and knocks enemies into the air, then lays down suppressing fire with his arm cannons."
With her coach gun giving her the ability to move in unexpected ways, a powerful main weapon that can hit targets at long distances, an explosive item that can be thrown and an ultimate ability that summons a completely other character, the ability tree for the new Overwatch hero makes her a very formidable enemy for any team.
PTR Release Date
The PTR release date for Ashe has not yet been confirmed by Blizzard. However, Moira was added to the PTR server not too long after she was first announced at a previous Blizzcon. If the release of Ashe on the PTR server follows this, players should expect to see the new Overwatch hero be available for testing in the very near future.
