Tracer screenshots and skills from Heroes of the Storm

Though we don’t yet have an exact date, we do know that Overwatch’s Tracer will be heading to Heroes of the Storm in April. While we’ve seen a preview of her Heroes skillset, which sets her up as an extremely mobile ranged assassin who blinks all over the map, we now have a better look at her skills.

Well. Sort of. IGN Latin America caught up with Game Director Dustin Browder to talk about Tracer and get a rundown of her skills. However, the fact that it’s all in Spanish means that our translations probably aren’t identical to the English skill text — so take any confusing phrasing with un grano de sal a grain of salt.

But these new screenshots of Tracer fighting her way through the Nexus — posted by EU MVP Ankhar — require no translation. Check out both screenshots and skills below.

IGN offers the following, though, again, remember these are translated from Spanish:

• Reload (trait): Tracer is able to execute basic attacks while in motion. Activate to reload all your ammo in 0.75 seconds. This attribute automatically activates when ammunition reaches 0. Tracer’s basic attacks consume ammunition.
• Blink (Q): Moves rapidly toward the target location. Includes 3 charges. 6 second cooldown.
• Melee (W): Damages an enemy, giving priority to closer heroes. Hitting non-heroes gives 5 charges of Pulse Bomb; hitting heroes gives 10 charges of Pulse Bomb. 8 second cooldown.
• Recall (E): Returns the player to the position they were in 3 seconds ago. Grants 1 second of invulnerability, reloads ammunition, and clears negative effects. 30 second cooldown.
• Heroic: Pulse Bomb (R): Pastes a bomb on the first target it touches, doing AOE damage or 2x damage to a single target.

Though Tracer has just a single heroic ability, she gets it at level 1. Then at level 10, she can select one of three talents to modify Pulse Bomb:

• Adhesive Bomb: Increases Pulse Bomb’s radius by 50%. Enemies hit have their speed decreased by 60% for 3 seconds.
• Quantum Event: Pulse Bomb no longer does AOE damage, instead dealing an extra 15% of its maximum power to a single target.
• Pulse Ammo: The range of Pulse Bomb doubles and basic attacks against heroes grant 50% more charges.

If you’re already sold on adding Tracer to your team, she’s included with the Origins and Collector’s editions of Overwatch — though she’s likely to be purchasable in Heroes for the regular 15,000 gold new hero price in a few weeks.
