Baptiste heals, protects and strengthens his allies
Hero 30 has been added to Overwatch test servers . Baptiste is a combat doctor with experimental devices and weapons. This guide covers character history, skill mechanics, and gameplay.
History
Jean-Baptiste Augustin is a Haitian with a French name. He is 36. Baptiste’s current base and organization are unknown. Previously, the base was in Tortuga, and he was a member of the Karbisk coalition and “Kogt”.
Benz Antoine voiced the hero in English, and Ivan Traore – in Russian. Ivan said in his profile that he was engaged in voice acting for the first time, although he has not played games for a long time due to lack of time. This is the first hero in Russian voice acting with an accent.

Baptiste was left alone after the Rise of the Machines. He joined the Carbisk Coalition, where he became a military enemy in order to fight the Omniks and help people.
After the end of the service, he was invited to the “Claw”. He liked the easy tasks and the money he set aside to open the clinic. Gradually began to order to do contract killings and operations that led to accidental victims. Batista did not like this, so he left Talon to find a new life in Tortuga, Haiti.
They tried to silence Batista and even kill him. This was done by a detachment of his former members of the detachment led by Captain Cuerva. He escaped capture and started hiding. Now Baptiste helps people in different parts of the world and tries to make the world a better place.

Immortality field
Baptiste uses a device to create a field. The generator can be destroyed. It does not protect against damage, but only prevents enemies from reducing the health of allies below 20% of the total while players are in it.

- The device has 250 health units.
- Acts within a radius of 6 meters.
- Lasts for 8 seconds.

- Objects interfere with the effect of immortality, but not barriers.
- Sombra can hack the generator (the hack lasts 10 seconds, which is 2 seconds longer than the device’s duration).
- If you reduce the generator’s durability and inflict damage on heroes inside the zone, the health of the characters does not fall below 20%, which is equivalent to the device’s durability.
- Ultimate Diva and Junkrat destroy the generator, but the players inside will remain alive.
- Ultimate Zarya, McCree and Hanzo do not damage the generator.
- Torbjorn’s turret, Symmetra and BOB pay attention to the generator.

- In fact, the damage is not doubled, but by 100%. Combined with Angel’s boost, the damage will be increased by 230%.
- Destroyed by Sombra’s ultimate.
- Works on both sides.
Gameplay
Baptiste can take off from a load on a set in Hollywood. Even Genji would need to climb a little without double jumping. The jump helps to throw the generator further away so that it does not fall before it reaches the desired point.
The firing delay is compensated for by the alternative fire mode. By holding down the left and right mouse buttons, the hero continuously shoots and releases projectiles.
After firing vertically with an alternative fire projectile, it will land in the same place after a while. You can fire a projectile before installing the generator to be sure of the desired location of the field of immortality. Their fall trajectory is the same.
After setting the field of immortality, players do not try to destroy the generator. Only Sombra is busy with this. In the future, you will have to place the device in protected places behind an object, corner or shield. When attacking and defending, they will be distracted by such an important trifle, but not the time of the battle at the facility. The opposing team will be distracted by him last.
The field of immortality should be used on a situational basis, and not just spammed to deal a little damage in an open area. This ability is for attacking and defending an object and cargo. Do not count on complete invulnerability. It can be cut off in a second. If the alignment of the heroes is such that you can protect your allies before the ultimate, then you should not often use the skill unnecessarily.
In addition, this device lands and is then activated. If you use the skill after the Reaper’s ultimate, it will be too late.
The ultimate is used in the passage. During a firefight or capture of an object, it is better to put the matrix in front of strong heroes. Bastion will not need to get out of shape, Soldier-76 will not have to change position during the ultimate, and Torbjorn will be pleased for taking care of the turret.
