Vendetta, Overwatch 2’s First Melee DPS, Enters Playtest Nov. 26 Ahead of Season 20

Blizzard details a high‑mobility sword kit built to dive supports.

Overview

  • Vendetta is the game’s 45th hero and the first fully melee‑focused Damage character.
  • Her hardlight greatsword, Palatine Fang, delivers a three‑hit combo, with mobility from Whirlwind Slash lunges and Soaring Slice that throws the sword then pulls her to it.
  • Warding Stance provides a resource‑based frontal block that can be converted into a wide projectile via Projected Edge.
  • Sundering Blade, a three‑stage ultimate, cleaves through armor and overhealth and cannot be stopped by barriers.
  • Blizzard frames her as a high‑risk dive threat vulnerable to crowd control such as Sleep Dart, Flashbang, and Discord Orb, with a limited trial set for Nov. 26–Dec. 2 and the full launch on Dec. 9 with Season 20.
