Overwatchโ€™s newest hero Lucio rolled into Gamescom 2015 as the gameโ€™s newest Support hero. A DJ turned freedom fighter, Lucio is an extremely mobile hero that brings unique mechanics and powerful buffs to his teammates. A movement mechanic unique to Lucio is his ability to briefly run on walls. As long as Lucio is alive he is bolstering himself and his allies with music. His gun is a Sonic Amplifier that he uses to shoot enemies with sonic projectiles or blast them away.

His second ability, Crossfade, allows him to switch between two tracks of music, therefore two different team buffs: one that regenerates health, the other increases movement speed. The next ability is Amp it Up, Lucio pumps up the volume, increasing the effects of his music.

His ultimate ability is Sound Barrier. Lucio turns his amplifier to eleven and provides each ally in the area with a large personal shield.

I have been a gamer my entire life and I am very excited to make my passion a career. I enjoy long walks at cons and candle lit tables full of character sheets and dice. I believe that The Fifth Element is the perfect movie. My true passion for gaming lies in anything Blizzard Entertainment. I am always open to discuss anything games, television, movies, and tech.
