All Shion abilities in Overwatch: Ultimate, passives, Perks, and weapon

Shion is a new damage hero coming to Overwatch with Season 3: Into the Tiger’s Den. Apart from looking like no other Omnic currently available in the game, she can also ride her bike into the fight and has a passive that grants her all DPS passives.

Here are all of Shion’s abilities in Overwatch, including the Ultimate, passive, Perks, and weapon.

Shion is a high-mobility, flanking damage hero. Her kit includes dual pistols, a dash, a rushing Ultimate with three charges, and even a bike that she can launch at enemies. Although not as evasive as Tracer, Shion has more than enough tools to constantly stay on the move.

Here are all of Shion’s abilities in Overwatch:

Ability Description
Kira Pistols (weapon) Rapid-fire anima pistols.
Execution Fire an X-shaped volley. Hold to tighten its spread.
Evade Dash and briefly gain overhealth.
Joyride Rev your engine. Reactivate to dismount and launch your bike forward.
Satsuriku Spree (Ultimate) Rush forward 3 times in a storm of gunfire.
Subrole: Flanker (passive) Health packs restore more health.

Shion’s Minor and Major Perks in Overwatch

The level two Perks allow Shion to lean into her Evade or Execution, while the first level three Perk improves Joyride, making it almost like a moving pit-stop. However, her most interesting Perk is Faces of Death, which grants all other DPS passives at no tradeoff.

Here are all of Shion’s passives in Overwatch:

Perk Description
Rapid Reload (Minor) Evade reloads 9 ammo.
X Machina (Minor) Execution does 20% more damage to enemies below half health.
Refuel (Major) Joyride instantly restores 50 health and regenerates 20 health per second while active.
Faces of Death (Major) Gain all other Damage subrole passives (Recon, Specialist, and Sharpshooter).

While Faces of Death doesn’t change any core abilities, having all four passives is a significant power spike. Increased reload speed after eliminating an enemy from the Specialist passive allows her to stay in the fight for longer.

Sharpshooter passive, which reduces movement ability cooldowns with critical hits, paired with Rapid Reload, can also result in Shion becoming an unstoppable force in the right hands. This is on top of Shion revealing enemies below half health that she damages through Recon passive.
