How to use Lifeweaver in Overwatch 2
Lifeweaver is a support Hero, so the main idea when playing this character is to keep your team stocked up on heals and in the fight with the Healing Blossom primary fire. While Lifeweaver can protect himself with the Thorn Volley secondary fire, it’s not his main focus.
That said, when playing Lifeweaver, you’re going to want to be around your team, try not to venture away from allies too much, as this character is best when played close to their team and healing from a distance.
Even if you do split off, Lifeweaver has great mobility with his Rejuvenating Dash and Petal Platform to get you back to your allies. Further, if you notice a teammate in trouble, he’s also great for keeping the team together, as Life Grip will pull them towards you and protect them while doing so.
Lifeweaver’s Tree of Life Ultimate ability is best used when your team is holding a point or trying to get a team off a point or choke, as its periodical heals can keep teammates alive and also block damage.
