After a brief teaser reveal this morning via Twitter, Blizzard has finally showcased Hero 28 as Wrecking Ball. It’s the hamster hero Hammond in an enormous mech suit, acting as the game’s latest tank hero. We now know a little more about him, however, with a new origin video that you can watch below and a list of the adorable little guy’s abilities.
Wrecking Ball’s abilities are as follows:
- Quad Cannons: Wrecking Ball fires machine guns
- Adaptive Shield: Grants Wrecking Ball a number of temporary shields based on the number of enemies nearby
- Roll: Wrecking Ball transforms into a sphere with increased speed
- Grappling Claw: While in Roll mode, Wrecking Ball can launch a short grappling hook to attach to surfaces, swing around, clear gaps, and move upwards. Using this ability allows Wrecking Ball to gain momentum, dealing damage and knocking back enemies upon impact
- Piledriver: Wrecking Ball slams down from the air, pulling enemies towards the center of impact and dealing damage
- Minefield (Ultimate): Wrecking Ball litters the ground around him with damage-dealing proximity mines
