A recent leak from Overwatch 2 has potentially unveiled the full abilities and character model for Wuyang, a new support hero debuting in Season 18. Initially introduced at the Overwatch 2 Spotlight event under the codename “Aqua,” Wuyang is a water-based hero, and this latest leak gives fans a clearer insight into his gameplay mechanics. The leak comes from a reputable source who shared details about Wuyang’s perks and skills.
Shortly after, another leak appeared on Reddit, allegedly revealing Wuyang’s complete kit and character model through an official Blizzard survey. Although the original Reddit post was deleted, several fans saved the information, making it accessible for further discussion and speculation. Wuyang’s primary weapon is the Xuanwu Staff, which allows him to fire controllable water orbs.
His passive ability, Restorative Stream, enables him to heal allies actively by holding the ability. His two active abilities include Guardian Wave, which increases healing for affected allies while damaging and knocking back enemies, and Rushing Torrent, which allows him to navigate the battlefield more effectively by riding waves for enhanced speed and jump height. Wuyang’s ultimate, Tidal Blast, creates a protective water shield for himself or an ally that explodes after a short duration, healing allies while knocking down nearby foes.
The leaked perks associated with Wuyang include Minor abilities like Overflow, which grants extra ammo and healing resources when Rushing Torrent is activated, alongside Balance, which boosts healing for a brief period after dealing damage. Major perks involve Ebb and Flow, allowing Guardian Wave to rewind to its starting location, and Falling Rain, enabling control over multiple water orbs with reduced damage. Given the convincing visuals and details, there’s a solid chance this leak is legitimate, although changes could still occur before the official release.
Fans will not have to wait long to learn more, as Wuyang’s hero trial is set to begin on August 14, leading up to an official reveal in the coming weeks.
