Overwatch 2 Mirrorwatch patch notes
Below are all of the Overwatch 2 Mirrorwatch abilities and details. Only 12 heroes are available in this game mode, including Doomfist, Reinhardt, Zarya as the tanks, Bastion, Echo, Sombra, Tracer, and Widowmaker as DPS, plus Ana, Brigitte, Mercy, and Zenyatta as the supports.
Before exiting the spawn room, it is a good idea to read up on each hero's Mirrorwatch kit since they're different compared to how they play in normal Overwatch 2 game modes. For example, in Mirrorwatch, Reinhardt's shield acts like Baptiste's ultimate. Meanwhile, instead of resurrecting teammates, Mercy's E detonates fallen allies and foes alike.
