Overwatch 2 Illari Guide: Kit and Playstyle

Overwatch 2 Illari plays Support around a single weapon that does both jobs at once — the same rifle heals allies or damages enemies depending on where you aim it.

Core kit

• Solar Rifle — her primary weapon, healing allies or damaging enemies from the same gun without switching modes.
• Outburst — a jump that also knocks back anyone caught in it, used both to reposition and to peel an attacker off a teammate.
• Healing Pylon — a deployable device that heals anyone nearby on its own, freeing Illari to keep firing rather than babysitting a single target.
• Captive Sun — her ultimate, a long-range beam that builds toward an explosive burst the longer it channels.

Playstyle

She rewards good aim more than most supports — landing Solar Rifle shots on a moving target takes real precision, closer to a Damage hero's skill floor than a typical healer's. Healing Pylon covers the gaps while she's busy tracking a target or repositioning with Outburst.

Where she fits

Strong on maps with sightlines, where Solar Rifle's range and Captive Sun's channel time both have room to work. Cramped, corner-heavy maps suit her less.
