Overwatch 2 might have nerfed Lucio’s capacity to heal himself, but the support hero remains one of the best healers in Blizzard’s FPS game. Lucio has the unique ability to provide constant healing to any ally within range and increase the team’s speed, and while his kit mainly centers on support options, Lucio isn’t without means to defend himself.

Lucio overview

Lucio is a top-tier healer who provides continuous support without needing to work around a cooldown timer. Crossfade, his primary ability, lets Lucio switch between a healing song and a speed buff song at will, though the impressive skill does come with a couple of caveats. The song benefits only linger for one second after allies leave the area of effect, and they only affect teammates within Lucio’s line of sight. That means Lucio needs to stay close to your team’s tank or DPS, subsequently putting himself in danger.

On the bright side, Lucio is equipped to keep most threats at bay and to soften foes for your team’s damage dealers to finish off. His Sonic Amplifier weapon deals a decent amount of damage and has practically no reload time, while the Soundwave ability knocks foes back. Soundwave also has a broad area of effect and comes in handy during escort and matches and situations where you need to occupy the objective zone and push enemies back.
