Illari is a Support hero in Overwatch 2. Released on 10 August 2023, she is the 38th hero added to the game.
Overview
Illari harnesses the power of the sun in her Solar Rifle, capable of dealing long range poke damage and creating a high-output healing beam. She can also deploy a healing pylon to automatically heal nearby allies. Her ultimate ability fires an explosive ball of solar energy that slows enemies in a massive area and causes them to burst upon taking more damage.
Abilities
- Reduces the time before passive health regeneration starts from 6 to 3 seconds after taking damage.
Hitscan
25 - 7.5 (min charge)
2.00 shots/s (min charge)
0.25 seconds (recovery)
- Damage per second (max charge): 77.7 while firing (68 overall w/ reload)
- Damage per second (min charge): 40 while firing (31.82 overall w/ reload)
- Using secondary fire, quick melee or abilities do not interrupt charging.
- Charge rate is affected by
Kitsune Rush.
Beam43% per second (regen rate)
- Can be fired continuously for 3.5 seconds before running out of energy.
- Takes 2.3 seconds to recharge to full once regeneration starts.
- If completely ran out of energy, it takes an additional 0.4 seconds before energy starts recharging and secondary fire cannot be used again until the energy is fully recharged.
- Using primary fire or reloading do not interrupt recharging energy.
- Healing tickrate is affected by
Kitsune Rush rush, but the resource consumption remains the same. - Is fully recharged from depleted when Captive Sun is used.
- Can destroy fences and other breakables.
Area of effect
Movement16.7m/s (horizontal input, charged)
6 m/s (no input, no charge)
13.5 m/s (no input, charged)
- Cannot be used while pulled by Life Grip.
- Knockback: 8 meters
14 seconds (under attack)
Arcing projectile (deploy)
Projectile (heal)20 over 0.45 seconds (self)
1.3 seconds (build time)
- Heal per second: 50 (allies), 25 (self)
- Healing prioritizes the hero with the lowest health percentage within the pylon's range.
- Cooldown starts immediately upon activation.
- If a new Pylon is deployed while one is still active, the old one will be destroyed.
- A deployed Pylon can be destroyed using the Interact key at any time. If it hasn't taken damage within the last 3 seconds, this has no effect on its cooldown.
- If the pylon is damaged by the enemy, a new pylon cannot be deployed for 3 seconds. If the pylon is destroyed during this time, either by the enemy or manually by the player, Healing Pylon goes on a longer cooldown, starting from the moment it was destroyed.
- Pylon can attach itself to terrain and terrain-like objects, like Ice Wall.
- Bounces off of barriers, other deployables and fences and other breakables.
- Pylon can attach to payload, but not to the TS-1 robot or the barricade in Push.
- Pylon is destroyed if it is in the way of a moving payload or barricade (but not the robot).
- Healing Pylon can be placed on Petal Platform and lifted by it regardless of which was placed first.
- Pylon is destroyed if a Tree of Life is deployed on top of it.
- Deploying an Ice Wall or using Cryo-Freeze on the pylon covers it, blocking line of sight and preventing it from healing.
- If the pylon touches Ice Wall or stays within Blizzard, it will "freeze" and stop healing until those abilities end.
- If the object it was attached to expires or is destroyed the pylon falls on ground.
- The pylon has collision with heroes and blocks shots, but does not block line of sight for AoE.
- B.O.B. will destroy the pylon if he collides with it. This will stop the charge.
- Stunning movement abilities, like Charge or Shield Bash (during Rally), can "stun" the pylon, briefly stopping its healing.
- Healing Pylon is unaffected by knockback.
- Pylon cannot be targeted by Tactical Visor, Deadeye or Biotic Orb.
- Pylon can be targeted by Deploy Turret, Sentry Turret and B.O.B..
- A deployed pylon can be teleported using Symmetra's Teleporter.
- Sombra can Hack the pylon, disabling it for 10 seconds.
- The pylon projectile before deployment cannot be blocked by barriers, Kinetic Grasp, Defense Matrix and Javelin Spin or reflected by Deflect, however the healing projectiles shot by it can.
- If the pylon breaks, a "Destroyed" UI will display for Illari.
- The interact key is shown to be blocked by a red cross while Illari is dead, but this seems to be a mistake as the key can still be pressed to break the pylon.
- If the pylon breaks while Illari is dead and is thus put on cooldown, due to an enemy attack or from Illari pressing the interact key within 3 seconds of the pylon taking damage, the otherwise 14-second cooldown of the pylon will immediately reset upon Illari respawning.
- If Illari is instead revived with Resurrect by Mercy, the 14-second cooldown will not reset.
Projectile Movement50 (splash)
160 - 120 (Sunstruck explosion)
0.02 + 0.6 seconds (solar energy ball)
6 seconds (Sunstruck debuff)
0.8 seconds (explosion delay)
1 - 5 meters (Sunstruck explosion, falloff start - max)
- Captive Sun is a channeled ability; it is interrupted by becoming stunned, knocked down or hacked, including subsidiary effects, consuming the ultimate charge.
- Launches Illari into the air granting her free flight for the duration and her next shot is replaced by solar energy ball.
- Rooted and hindered make Illari temporarily unable to fly, but do not prevent the activation or immediately end the ability.
- Upon launching, fully restores the energy of Solar Rifle Alt Fire and removes the overheated status.
- After the launch, the player has 4 seconds to fire the solar energy ball.
- The ball is automatically fired at the end of the timer.
- Projectile passes through enemies (but not shields) and explodes only upon contact with a shield, terrain or terrain-like object, like Ice Wall, or if it has travelled for 10 seconds.
- Any enemy heroes, including B.O.B., damaged by the direct hit or splash of the solar energy ball are marked and slowed for 6 seconds.
- Slow slowly decays over the duration.
- If a marked enemy receives total of 90 damage after reductions or is killed, they will become "SUNSTRUCK", causing the mark to explode after 0.8 seconds dealing damage in an area.
- Damage from the direct hit and splash from Captive Sun does not count toward this, but the damage from Sunstruck explosion does.
- Only one mark can be active at a time. For example, if an allied Echo duplicates Illari and hits the same target with Captive Sun.
- If the target is hit with another Captive Sun before Sunstruck is triggered, the duration of the mark is refreshed.
- If the target is hit with another Captive Sun during Sunstruck explosion delay, a new mark will not be applied.
- The mark can be removed by Zarya's Particle/Projected Barrier, Zenyatta's Transcendence, D.Va's Call Mech or by becoming phased out, such as through Wraith Form or Protection Suzu.
- However, if the target has already been Sunstruck, the explosion will happen regardless. Damage may still be prevented.
- Kiriko and Sombra can teleport, protecting themselves from the explosion. However, they carry the explosion with them, harming anyone around their destination. If a Sunstruck ally happens to be there, they could explode.
- Sunstruck explosion has damage falloff, reducing damage by up to 25%.
- Gives Illari +50% knockback resistance during the flight period.
- The projectile can be destroyed while in air by Defense Matrix, Kinetic Grasp and Javelin Spin and reflected by Deflect, but the splash and Sunstruck explosion are unaffected.
- Direct damage and splash damage from Captive Sun are affected by Amplification Matrix, as long as the projectile passes through it. However, the Sunstruck explosion damage is not.
- The projectile's environment collision size is 0 meters, so to collide with the environment the projectile's center would have to directly hit it.
- Captive Sun's movement speed buff does not count towards global movement speed buff cap.

Story
As the last of the Inti Warriors,[3] Illari is a vessel for the power of the sun,[3] due to solar threads woven throughout her body. With the sun's power, she is able to wreak havoc behind enemy lines.[2] Illari is a ruthless vigilante plagued by a dark past:[2] one that she'll do anything to make up for.[3]
Illari often hums when she's thinking; it is an automatic reflex, one she's unable to stop. She has a tendency to apologize as a side effect of her guilt.[4]
Background
Illari's childhood was a happy one, but from the outset, she was told she would become an Inti Warrior.[5] While in school, she studied Ana Amari.[4]
Illari in training
Illari began the demanding Inti Warrior training at an early age. Even then, her potential was enormous; her trainers believed she would become the strongest Warrior of her time. She bowed to the desires of her community, dedicating her free time to training so that one day she might live up to the legend already growing around her. Finally, her hard work and sacrifices paid off. She became the youngest person to join the Inti Warriors.[6]
Illari in the aftermath of the blast
Per tradition, Illari was subjected to solar threading augmentation. The Inti Warriors gathered at the ceremonial chamber, ready to welcome her with open arms. However, no one could have been prepared for the true extent of her power. Her procedure unleashed a devastating amount of solar energy from her body, causing a blast that destroyed the entire chamber. The Inti Warriors were gone, and so was the future Illari had spent her life preparing for.[6]
The last Child of the Sun
Unable to face anyone after the tragedy, Illari isolated herself, refusing anyone's sympathy. She replayed the accident over and over in her head, unable to help but wonder whether things could have been different if she'd never been pressured to strive for greatness.[6] She wondered if it was her fault that no-one knew the true extent of her power. Whatever the truth was, she blamed herself regardless.[5]
With no other clear path to follow, Illari continued her daily training despite having no one to guide her,[6] determined to make up for what she'd done. Over time, it became clear that she was the last Inti Warrior, and had to face the world alone.[6]

Misc. Character Information
Development
Early Development
The starting point for Illari was the developers' desire to have a sun-themed hero. These themes inspired her early abilities as well as her internal codename, "Solar." One of the earliest prototypes the developers played around with was a blinding ability, matching the sun-theme. Solar would throw a grenade-like stun orb, which would explode and blind enemies within its AOE. The team experimented with the physics of this ability and how it would affect enemies. After a few changes, the team added VFX of Solar jumping into the air and throwing the blind down onto her enemies. In the end, the developers moved away from a blind ability because of the somewhat hidden effectiveness and frustration caused when played against. Solar didn’t feel a noticeable impact using blind, but the person getting blinded felt too much of an impact. A full-screen blind was decided to be too much in the context of Overwatch, given its nature of fast-paced gameplay.[7]
The mobility of Solar leaping into the air felt symbolic to a sunrise, and was integrated into the Captive Sun ultimate. The ability went through a number of iterations; one of the first ideas involved a debuff called "solar flares" against up to five enemies. The flares would damage enemies, reveal their location, and increase their damage taken. While this ultimate was "cool" to play with, it wasn’t enjoyable to play against. The debuff paired with the damage was a little too much, and the chaotic nature of the ultimate was frustrating to play against. Another iteration riffed off solar flares, but the debuff was only applied to enemies within an area of effect, rather than targeting them automatically. The area would also heal allies. Many versions of her ultimate increased the amount of damage she dealt, but the developers felt those would better suit damage heroes. While the developers wanted to encourage Solar players to support their team by enabling and finishing off opponents, some of the early ideas were doing too much damage for a support class. In the final version, Captive Sun's status effect keeps the ultimate ability attack oriented, while also encouraging team play to get as many detonations as possible.[7]
Solar's healing capabilities went through a lot of ideations and prototypes. One of the first ideas was an ability that created pockets of healing with a deployable drone—she would throw a drone-grenade to allies, and the drone would hover over them to heal. Pocket healing went through a lot of tweaks and adjustments. For example, one version provided more healing to lower-HP allies but was limited in mobility. Another provided a burst heal within the first second to give allies a little more flexibility regarding their placement. There was also an iteration where the drones would automatically track allies.[7]
This type of healing mechanic required a ton of management and attention, and the developers wanted something more strategic that allowed Solar to focus more of her time using the solar rifle. The turrets of Torbjörn and Symmetra were looked at, where during development, Symmetra had a healing turret ability which had problems, though players enjoyed the concept. This was turned into the solar rifle having a healing function as its primary fire. Its alt fire was initially a burst heal that could pierce allies (similar to Sojourn's railgun), albeit with a hefty cooldown. This was changed to a single-target shot with a shorter cooldown, as the developers wanted a simple secondary fire to encourage players to support through damage. The rifle's current secondary was settled upon.[7]
As Solar's abilities were constantly iterated upon, this influenced her theme and personality. Eventually, "Solar" was renamed as "Illari."[7]
Reveals
The Illari teaser
Illari was hinted at in May, 2023, where it was revealed that she would debut in Season 6.[8] It was stated that Illari be fully revealed before the season's launch.[9] An image of Illari (Illari Quispe Ruiz) was revealed in June, 2023.[10] At the time, many speculated that she was Peruvian,[11] and the blade she carried was noted to possess similarities to Incan swords.[12] It was further speculated that the hero's name was "Luzdesol" (Spanish for "sunlight"), based on the appearance of the name in a livestream for Overwatch 2: Invasion.[13] After the silouette was released, a fan-made concept piece was released, and the developers were surprised as to how close the artwork was to the hero's final version. In recognition of the work, an official piece of concept art was released in July, 2023, showing Illari undergoing a "solar threading ritual."[9]
Illari was leaked in early August when an image of her was revealed on the Xbox Overwatch website.[14] She was formally named/revealed on August 8.[15]
