All you need to know about Wuyang in Overwatch 2: Abilities, perks and more
Overwatch 2 is about to bring a new wave with a new Support hero, Wuyang. The character, since its announcement, has been the center of speculation and leaks. While Blizzard Entertainment has not officially confirmed all things, the revelations are offering a solid look at Wuyang's abilities, unique perks and weapons.
Here is all we know so far about him.
Wuyang Overwatch 2 abilities
and weapons
The core kit of Wuyang, Overwatch 2 new support hero revolves around the manipulation of water for aid and offense. Wuyang primary weapon is Xuanwu Staff— the fire-damaging water orbs. Players can hold fire to guide the path of the orb and charge it for a much bigger explosion. For healing, Wuyang's alt-fire Restorative Stream places steady healing on an ally. To hold the button would intensify the healing but consume dedicated resources.

Wuyang's active abilities help enhance mobility and team support. Guardian Wave sends forth the water surge. It can boost healing that's received by allies it touches, while it can forcefully knock down the enemies. On the other hand, the passive abilities of Wuyang help to regenerate health quickly.
To reposition, Rushing Torrent allows Wuyang to surf the wave and gain a significant amount of jump height and speed.
Tidal Blast, Wuyang ultimate ability, further encases him or the ally in the protective water. The bubble shortly after explodes, as it knocks down the nearby foes and delivers massive healing to the protected target.
Wuyang perks and playstyle
offering strategic advantages
Beyond base abilities, leaked perks further added depth to Wuyang's playstyle. Some minor perks provide tactical boosts. Like Overflow can instantly refill ammo and healing resources when Rushing Torrent gets used.
Balance, on the other hand, rewards aggression, ensuring to damage enemies using water orbs, temporarily and increasing passive healing using Restorative Stream.
Some major perks that significantly help alter the ability function. Like, Ebb and Flow can make Guardian Wave automatically return to the origin point, after they have reached the end. However, it does deal with less damage on the return trip.
Falling Rain further transforms Wuyang's primary fire.
It allows simultaneous better control of 3 weaker water orbs for having wider area pressure, but with the reduced individual impact. All these perks suggest rewarding players who can master the positioning and ability combos.
The leaked design of Wuyang points to high-mobility and dynamic Support that's focused on the burst healing windows and disruption of enemy positioning. The reliance of Wuyang on resource management and the perk choices further promise a high skill ceiling. While the Overwatch 2 trial dates are soon (August 14, 2025, to August 18, 2025), the Blizzard Entertainment hero leaks offers a clear picture of the new aquatic hero in Overwatch 2.

What is Gift of the Tree in Diablo 4?
(Image via Blizzard Entertainment) If you've been grinding through Diablo 4 lately and noticed a strange white tree icon on your buff bar, it's not a bug or some obscure passive. That's the Gift of the Tree, and it's actually your shortcut to getting extra loot while running Whispers. Want more gear, gold, and goodies without doing anything new? Here's everything you need to know! The Gift of the Tree: A Limited-Time Loot Boost The Gift of the Tree is an active bonus event in Diablo 4's Season 9, running until July 22, 2025, 1:00 PM EST. During this period, every time you turn in 10 Grim Favors at the Tree of Whispers, you get one extra Chaos Cache, on top of your selected reward. What Are Chaos Caches? Chaos Caches are wildcard loot boxes. Unlike the regular caches you pick at the Tree (like Armor, Weapons, or Keys), these are unfiltered, offering everything from junk gear to rare Ancestral drops. Think of them as RNG grab bags—they're perfect for farming materials, gold, or just rolling the dice on powerful finds. Bonus tip : These caches count toward the Chaotic Whispers achievement. If you're hunting that, this event is your golden ticket. NEW PATCH BROKE Diablo 4 BUT NEW LEGIONS ARE INSANE How to Get the Bonus Cache To make the most of the event: Complete Whispers. These are Diablo 4's version of bounties. Earn Grim Favors. You need 10 Grim Favors to claim a reward at the Tree. Turn them in at the Tree of Whispers or a Raven of the Tree. Select a reward cache; any type works (though note: Greater Dungeon Key caches might be bugged and not provide the bonus). Receive your chosen cache + a free Chaos Cache. Easy loot, extra value. How Do Whispers Wor? Whispers show up as icons with colored borders on your map. The border color indicates how many Grim Favors they'll earn you: Pale Pink = 1 Favor Pink = 3 Favors Red = 5 Favors Complete any mix that adds up to 10 Grim Favors. Then head to the Tree or one of its Ravens and claim your reward + bonus. Just make sure you've unlocked the Tree of Whispers by finishing the main campaign or skipping it during character creation.

"It's all business and marketing": Fans respond as Ludwig reveals shocking video message from Luka Dončić
Image via: x/LudwigAhgren In a turn of events mixing sports and streaming culture, Twitch streamer Ludwig Ahgren started a firestorm of responses online after revealing a video message from NBA star Luka Dončić . The video is being considered by many as a sincere apology from Dončić for having to miss Ludwig's Basketball Jam event, but others view the message as a calculated move, which leads to fan theories and meme creation on the internet. A Tournament With a Twist Ludwig's Basketball Jam 2025, on July 12, is no typical sports event. The tournament unites six teams consisting of only content creators and internet personalities in a basketball face-off. The event will be streamed live and thrown open to fans, free, first-come first-served, a trademark Ludwig mix of accessibility and showmanship. In the excitement, Ludwig caught fans off-guard even more when he aired a recorded message from Dončić on a recent stream. Fan Split: Real or PR? Though many fans commended the act, labeling it 'wholesome' and 'unexpectedly sweet,' others weren't so sure. One Redditor encapsulated the doubtful camp with the comment, 'It's all business and marketing.' Others pointed out that the clip came off as a strategic PR play, particularly given Dončić's increasing prominence in the esports and streaming worlds. Fueling the crossover chatter, another fan brought attention to Luka's gaming skills, noting that he's one of the top 500 ranked Overwatch 2 players. For some, this was eyebrow raising, was this message a connection between his gamer self and his athlete celebrity? Ludwig's Genius Move? Whether it was genuine friendship or business coalition, Ludwig's choice to broadcast the missive accomplished its objective: it got attention. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like [지원]여성 갱년기 영양제 무료증정 이벤트로 신청자 몰려.. 소나무 더 알아보기 Undo Famous for blurring the lines between online entertainment and real-world events, Ludwig once again demonstrated why he's leading the way in streamer-hosted spectacles.
