We all anticipated it, and now Anran is one of five new heroes joining Overwatch in The Reign of Talon’s Season 1: Conquest. As Wuyang’s sister and a fellow student at Wuxing University, this DPS hero brings the heat—literally—with her powerful new abilities designed to disrupt the enemy backline.
Anran will officially launch in The Reign of Talon’s Season 1: Conquest on Tuesday, February 10, 2026, but you can get a head start with her hero trial beginning Thursday, February 5.
As a Flanking DPS hero with 250 HP, Anran boasts impressive mobility, making her ideal for picking off key targets from behind and diving into enemy groups. Her Flanker role comes with a new passive that enhances health pack restoration.

For optimal offensive plays with your ultimate, I recommend picking up Heat Shield. Among her major perks, your choice will depend on your playstyle. Short Fuze is excellent for mobility and maintaining pressure, while Hungering Blaze serves as a fantastic sustain tool, especially when enemies are grouped together.
