Thanks to stealth and weakening attacks, Sombra is excellent at infiltration. She can hack enemies and thus weaken them so that they become easy prey. With the EMP charge, she can simultaneously fire up several enemies at the same time. Also, Sombra can cloak and teleport, making her hard to catch.

“YOU CAN HACK ANYTHING … AND ANYONE.”
Sombra is among the world’s most notorious hackers, exploiting information to manipulate the powerful.
Long before she went by the alias “Sombra,” ░░░░░░ was among the thousands of children orphaned after the Omnic crisis. Although much of the infrastructure in her country was destroyed, she survived thanks to her natural gift with computers and her hacking skills.
After ░░░░░░ was taken in by the Mexican Los Muertos gang, she supported them in their self-proclaimed revolution against the government. Los Muertos were convinced that by rebuilding Mexico, it was primarily the rich and influential who benefited. Those who most needed help, on the other hand, were largely left empty-handed.
After her many successes, ░░░░░░ was extremely confident of her abilities. But she was not prepared to encounter a global conspiracy, a conspiracy that was aware of her. With her security irrevocably compromised, ░░░░░░ felt compelled to erase all traces that might reveal her identity. She then disappeared from the scene.
She later reappeared under the alias Sombra – and equipped with some upgrades – determined to find out the truth behind the conspiracy she had stumbled upon. Sombra launched even more brazen hacking attacks. These deeds earned her a lot of admiration. The Talon organization, in particular, showed great interest. Thus, she joined the association and was said to be responsible for a lot of the massive cyber attacks against companies with strong ties to the government. These include instigating a revolution in Mexico against LumériCo and hacking Volskaya Industries, the maker of Russian defenses against Omnics.
Now that Talon’s considerable resources are at her disposal, Sombra can focus on her true goal: uncovering the conspiracy and using it for her own purposes.
OVERWATCH HEROES
Heroes are the main element in the game Overwatch, as the player can freely choose between them and their class and later play them.
In Overwatch you’ll find a variety of heroes: from the time-traveling adventurer to the armored, rocket-hammer-wielding warrior to the meditating robot monk. Each of the heroes plays differently, so mastering their abilities will only unlock their full potential. No two heroes are alike.
In Overwatch you can expect an international team of powerful heroes, each of whom has made a name for himself in his own way.
OVERWATCH
Overwatch is a team-based 6vs6 shooter that was released on May 24, 2016. Overwatch stays true to the true style of Blizzard’s previous titles. It was developed by Jeff Kaplan and is considered a “new concept” shooter in the FPS genre. The game was officially unveiled at BlizzCon along with 12 heroes on November 7, 2014.
The story of Overwatch is set on a highly fictionalized future version of Earth. In a time where humans and robots, which are called Omnics, live together (Chris Metzen hinted that the story deals with this very robot race). 30 years before the time when Overwatch takes place, the so-called “Omnic Crisis ” occurred. The robots, once helpers of humans, rebelled against their creators for reasons as yet unknown and triggered a worldwide chaos. Faced with the imminent destruction of human civilization, the best soldiers of all nations came together to form a program called “Overwatch”.
Their job was to protect the world from the Omnics, which they succeeded in doing. For the next 25 years, they were the protectors of the planet, united in an international coalition. Some agents stayed, some were replaced, but at some point something changed: the Overwatch disintegrated. However, 5 years later after this event, incidents with Omnics are again accumulating, a worldwide terrorist organization also seems interested in destabilizing the world order. A new crisis is looming. At this point, your career as an Overwatch agent begins.
