"Your safety is my primary concern."
Built from parts of one of Numbani's short-lived OR15 defense robots, Orisa is the city's newest protector, though she still has much to learn.
Originally put into service before the Omnic Crisis, the OR14 "Idina" line of security robots was built in Nigeria's massive manufacturing omnium. After the war, they were taken out of production, along with many of the other models used during the crisis. Twenty years later, Numbani revived and recommissioned the OR14 program to protect the city from external threats. These new OR15s were deployed for a short time before they were destroyed in an attack by Doomfist.
Following the attack, the program was scrapped, and the civic government sold off the remaining OR15 inventory. Some parts were purchased by eleven-year-old Efi Oladele, a brilliant girl whose early accomplishments in robotics and artificial intelligence had already earned her the Adawe Foundation's "genius grant."
With the approval of her understanding and open-minded parents, Efi spent the bulk of her grant money to acquire one of the decommissioned OR15 bots. She believed that Numbani needed a protector and that an upgraded OR15 could do just that. Efi repaired and reconfigured the robot and installed a personality core that she had designed herself.
She named Numbani's newest hero Orisa.
Orisa has shown that she can be of service to the city, but she is still working toward finding her optimal protocols. The omnic's inexperience can cause her to be an occasional liability. Fortunately, between Efi's willingness to make the necessary modifications and Orisa's adaptive artificial intelligence, both robot and creator have always been able to set things right.
As Orisa starts her career as a guardian, she has much to learn about the world and her functionality. But as long as she is guided by Efi's boundless optimism and her own growing sense of honor and duty, Orisa stands ready to protect Numbani and her creator at any cost.[/quote]
Sweeeeet.
Her abilities:
[quote]Orisa serves as the central anchor of her team, and defends her teammates from the frontline with a protective barrier. She can attack from long range, fortify her own defenses, launch graviton charges to slow and move enemies, and deploy a Supercharger to boost the damage output of multiple allies at once.[/quote]
Hype! She's on the PTR right now.
-
Why is everyone complaining about there being another female hero? Gender doesn't have any affect on the gameplay, it shouldn't matter.

Curious how many loli lovers are pissed cause they wanted to play the lil scientist
-
Hype? Really? Blizzard got lazy and said "HEY! WHAT A WONDERFUL KIND OF DAY...to make a mashup of nearly all tank characters even if bastion is a defense"
-
Gave up YouTube for Lent >={
-
I'm really excited to play as Orisa! Shame she isn't on ps4 yet...
-
Fortified, nanoboosted, damage boosted, sound barriered Orisa with both her and Symmetras ults active
-
My initial reaction was, "but does she have a nice ass?" until I saw who it actually was lol
-
Just makes me wonder what doomfist will be. Surely after this, not a [i]another[/i] tank right?
-
This is fake If it's not I still don't care, why do we need more characters? The set we got is already sorta balanced (torb is asinine op) so fix what we got.
-
Yay. That will be the perfect Main Char for me. I hold my Rankpoints back for the Gold Weapon :D
-
Eh; she's [i]alright[/i]. Her abilities just kind of make her seem like a supportive hodge-podge, and she seems just jutted into the Overwatch universe.
-
Well, someones late to the party...
-
when we gettin a male character? I need a man in my life 😤
-
Sooooo.... When are we getting a Male Character Blizz?
-
Oh boy, the hentai is gonna be -blam!-ed up 😵
-
Halt is amazing. Not only can she fill Rein's role as an anchor, but in a 1v1 she can easily take him
-
Blizzard are really running out of ideas.
-
It will be good to have another anchor.
-
Just saw some gameplay, I was afraid we were gonna get another support, but now we get a wonderfully unique looking tank that I plan on playing rigorously, how awesome!!! I am a bit worried that a lot of her abilities were just mashed together and slightly changed from multiple other characters (Winston, dva, zarya) but still looks really fun and hopefully with enough potential to be one of my mains!
-
I feel like this tank will be really op
-
Wouldn't her affiliations be with Efi or the people of Numbani? I find it kinda weird that they put 'none'
-
Noice, glad that there's another tank that can fill the same role as Reinhardt.
-
I'm glad to see a new tank, can't wait I see her in action!
-
-
I'm a Tank Main so this is great news
