GoKawiilOverwatch's next hero is the rifle-wielding Sierra, the sixth hero of the year after five new heroes were added during the popular online shooter's Reign of Talon season 1. A day after dropping the hero trailer, which showed Sierra in combat with Emre and Freja, developer Blizzard released a gameplay trailer for the damage hero.
Sierra is a mobile damage hero who can reposition through the air with her drone. She seems to have a mix of Sojourn's primary fire and Freja's mobility, with some extra grenades on top. Here's what we learned about her kit in the gameplay trailer.
Sierra abilities
Primary fire: Sierra fires her fully automatic weapon. The bullets appear to be projectiles, meaning they have a travel time.
Drone: In the trailer, Sierra uses her drone, which she calls Dorothy, to move herself over enemies, jump up to high grounds and dodge enemy abilities.
Homing dart: Sierra can shoot a homing dart. If it lands on an enemy, her next few bullets track that hero, similar to Juno's Pulse Torpedos or the Needler from Halo.
Grenade: We see a few shots of Sierra tossing a cluster grenade at enemies below her, causing damage in a small area.
Ultimate: Sierra's drone flies forward and drops widespread explosive damage.
