Overwatch 2 Hero 45 Vendetta abilities, ultimate, and perks: Yes, she’s a DPS hero!

Vendetta is Overwatch 2’s first-ever melee damage hero.

Blizzard Entertainment has officially unveiled the abilities of the new Overwatch 2 hero, Vendetta, along with a new gameplay trailer. You can now find a complete list of her skills and see her in action!

Overwatch 2 Vendetta abilities

I’m really excited about Vendetta in Overwatch 2! She’s a damage hero, and she’s all about swinging a massive greatsword. She has this cool combo attack called Palatine Fang, and she can block incoming damage with Warding Stance. What really makes her stand out are her abilities – Soaring Slice, Whirlwind Dash, and Projected Edge – they let her get around the map quickly and really put the pressure on opponents. Plus, her passive, Onslaught, makes her even faster and more deadly the more she attacks. And her ultimate, Sundering Blade? It’s insane! It’s a huge, sweeping attack that just cuts right through most defenses. I think she’s going to be a really strong hero!

Overwatch 2 Vendetta perks

As a Vendetta player, I’m really liking how we get to customize our abilities! First, you pick either Siphoning Strike or Relentless to start. Then, as the match goes on, you get another choice – do you want to go with Swift Vengeance or Raging Storm? It’s cool being able to adapt our playstyle like that.

Siphoning Strike (Minor Perk)Overhead strike gains 30% lifesteal.
Relentless (Minor Perk)Onslaught can stack 3 more times, increasing attack speed by 5% and movement speed by 4% per stack.
Swift Vengeance (Major Perk)Last player to kill you becomes a target. Eliminate them to gain 125 overhealth and reset cooldowns.
Raging Storm (Major Perk)Whirlwind Dash continues to spin, hitting 3 more times for 40 damage in a wide area.
