New Gameplay!

Blizzard has released new gameplay footage of Zarya.

Zarya is classified as a Tank.

Her particle cannon is able to be fired in two modes, one where she shoots a short range beam and one where she shoots a massive ball of energy that explodes on contact.

Zarya’s other ability is to create a barrier for herself or for her teammates.

Zary’s ultimate is graviton surge, which creates drags enemies into the center of where the shot landed, dealing damage to all enemies caught in the blast.
