The new Overwatch hero is part-D.Va, part-Reinhardt and 100 percent cool as heck.

We thought we wouldn't write about Overwatch characters anymore but D.Mon looks too sick not to

The latest Overwatch hero, D.Mon, is a unique blend of D.Va and Reinhardt, garnering significant attention in the gaming community. Blizzard first introduced a teaser for D.Mon in 2018, revealing that she would eventually become the 53rd playable character and the 15th tank in the game. Her design draws inspiration from Gundam and FromSoftware's Armored Core games, making her look "sick as heck."

D.Mon possesses a mech, Beast, which she can use to dash horizontally, deal ranged damage with a machine gun, and even eject from upon destruction to remain alive. A distinctive feature of D.Mon is her ultimate ability, Limit Break & Call Mech, which she can build up by dealing damage with a heavy machine gun. When Beast is destroyed, D.Mon re-mechs, effectively becoming invulnerable until the next activation of her ultimate.

In addition to her mech abilities, D.Mon wields a Plasma Saber and Fusion Repeater, similar to Reinhardt. Her melee attacks involve thrusting her energy sword forward, which can knock back opponents. D.Mon's ultimate ability, a sweeping slash, not only damages enemies but also grants her overhealth, much like Zenyatta's Orb of Discord. However, unlike D.Va's self-destruct ability, D.Mon's ultimate seems to require greater team coordination for optimal effectiveness.
