It seems like just yesterday that Ana was released for Overwatch but now she is coming to Heroes of the Storm as well. While she isn’t expected to be available in the live game until September 26th, you can try her out later today on the PTR.

Ana is expected to be a skill shot based burst healer. Her abilities allow her to either heal her team or to deny healing to the enemy team. For those eager to learn more about this new Hero, here is a quick look at her kit:

Shrike (D): Basic attacks apply a dose of poison (except Structures) dealing damage over time, stacking up to five times. Her auto-attack range is longer than most Heroes.

Healing Dart (Q): Launches a dart that heals the first allied Hero hit for 250 Health. 2-second cooldown.

Biotic Grenade (W): Throws a grenade at the target area. Affected allied Heroes are healed for 175 health and receive a 25% increase to healing for 3 seconds. Enemies take 60 damage and receive 100% less healing for 2 seconds. 16-second cooldown.

Sleep Dart (E): Launches a dart that puts the first enemy Hero hit to sleep for 3 seconds or until they take damage. 14-second cooldown.

Nano Boost (R1): Instantly restores 200 Mana to an allied Hero. For the next 8 seconds they also gain 30% spell power and their basic ability cooldowns recharge 150% faster. 50-second cooldown.

Eye of Horus (R2): Assume a sniping position, gaining the ability to fire up to 8 specialized rounds with unlimited range. Rounds hit the first allied Hero, enemy Hero, or enemy Structure in their path. Allies are healed for 300 Health and enemies take 175 Damage. 60-second cooldown.
