Healing

Healing restores a hero's replenishable hit points. Healing is done by Health Packs, the spawn room, the payload (for the attacking team), and hero abilities. Although many heroes have healing abilities, Support heroes have a focus on healing. Generally, the act of healing generates ultimate charge (healing allies' self damage or environmental damage will not grant ultimate charge).

When receiving healing, hit points are restored in the following order: Health, then Armor, then Shields.

In Overwatch 2, all heroes will passively heal 10 health + 5% of maximum health per second after not taking damage for 5 seconds. Support heroes have this time reduced to 2.5 seconds. This can be stacked on top of their existing healing abilities.

Ally Healing

Certain heroes have abilities or weapons that can heal allies. Some of these may also heal the hero.

Some of these may be responsive, and require an input to heal allies, such as shooting an ally with Ana's Biotic Rifle, or throwing Kiriko's Protection Suzu at an ally, while others may be more passive, such as Brigitte's Inspire and Lúcio's Crossfade, which can heal allies without the intention of healing them.

Self-Healing

Self-Healing refers to abilities specifically designed only to heal the user. Some abilities in the Ally Healing section may be able to heal the hero who uses them, but those won't be listed below.

• As mentioned earlier, all heroes passively heal 10 health + 5% of maximum health per second, after not taking damage for 5 seconds. Support heroes have this time reduced to 2.5 seconds. This healing is stacked on top of other sources and it does not count towards the "Healing Dealt" statistic.

Below is a list of all weapons and abilities that are used to only heal the hero using them:

Hero	Weapon/Ability	Effect type	Healing	Details
Junker Queen	Adrenaline Rush Adrenaline Rush		250% of wound damage dealt	Passive ability that heals for 250% of the wound damage Junker Queen deals. Healing will stack based on number of wounds applied to enemies.
Lifeweaver	Rejuvenating Dash Rejuvenating Dash	Movement	45
Mei	Cryo-Freeze Cryo-Freeze		62.5 per second
Mercy	Sympathetic Recovery Sympathetic Recovery		40% of healing dealt	Mercy's Passive ability*Does not generate ultimate charge
Moira	Biotic Grasp Alt Fire Biotic Grasp Alt Fire	Beam (no target indicator, soft lock-on)	24 per second (self)	Self heals when dealing damage.
	Coalescence Coalescence	Beam	140 per second 55 per second (self)
Reaper	The Reaping The Reaping		35% of damage dealt	Reaper's Passive ability*Does not generate ultimate charge
Roadhog	Take a Breather Take a Breather		160 per second	Uses a resource meter that can heal up to a maximum of 450 HP over the full duration.
Tracer	Recall Recall	Movement	Health returned to the highest value in the past 3 seconds	Does not count towards the "Healing Dealt" static, but instead her "Health Recalled" statistic

Amplified and Nullified Healing

Some weapons and abilities may increase or decrease healing received on a target. Healing can be modified either through a status effect from an ability/weapon, or indirectly applied to projectiles with Baptiste's Amplification Matrix.

Below is a list of all weapons and abilities that can alter healing on allies or enemies:

Hero/Role	Ability	Effect type	Healing modification	Details
Damage Heroes	Role: Damage Role: Damage		-20% received (non-tanks) -10% received (tanks)	Passive ability that all Damage heroes have.
Ana	Biotic Grenade Biotic Grenade	Arcing projectile Area of effect	+50% received (allies) -100% received (enemies)
Baptiste	Amplification Matrix Amplification Matrix	Area of effect	+100% dealt	Amplifies most healing and damage projectiles shot through it.
Junker Queen	Rampage Rampage	Melee Area of effect Movement	-100% received

Other Healing

• Small health packs heal 75 HP (respawning after 10 seconds).
• Large health packs heal 250 HP (respawning after 15 seconds).
• Shield health regenerates at 30 shields per second, after not being damaged for 3 seconds. This healing does not count towards the Healing Dealt statistic of any hero. It is the only instance in which healing is dealt outside of the usual order listed above.
• Sombra's Hack and EMP cause Health Packs to respawn 4x faster (healing caused by Hacked Health Packs counts towards Sombra's Healing Dealt statistic, although it doesn't provide Ultimate Charge).
• On Escort and Hybrid, the payload heals heroes on the attacking team for 10 HP per second while they are within 5 meters (the same distance necessary to move the payload forward).
• The heroes inside of their spawn room will be healed for 400 HP per second (the most healing from a single source).
• Genji's Deflect can turn enemies' healing projectiles into ally healing projectiles. For example Moira's Biotic Orb or Baptiste's Biotic Launcher Alt Fire.
• Echo can use Duplicate on a support or any self-healing hero on the enemy team, allowing her to access their healing abilities. When the duration ends (or if Echo's HP is reduced to 1), Echo reverts back to normal. Her HP returns back to what it was before, or 100 if her HP was less than 100.

Trivia

• As a result of a bug, D.Va and Sigma are erroneously credited for a small amount of healing dealt to enemies by healing projectiles they destroy using Defense Matrix and Kinetic Grasp, respectively. This can be recreated easiest by destroying Moira's Biotic Orb (healing).
• In Overwatch, Bastion could self-heal by using Self-Repair, which healed him for 90 HP per second when held. This ability was removed in Overwatch 2, but returned temporarily in the limited-time event Celebrating All Heroes, in the Community Crafted arcade mode.
• Lifeweaver used to have Parting Gift, which drops upon his death, that healed allies up to 250 HP, or could heal enemies for up to 75 HP. This ability was removed in the April 25, 2023 Patch.
• Juno is the first hero to ever have a falloff range for her healing. Similarly to Ana, her Mediblaster both heals and damages equally, but unlike Ana, her Mediblaster will gradually deal decreased damage and healing the further from the target.
