When it comes to Overwatch, sometimes fights just call for giant explosions and big booms. Fortunately, Pharah comes equipped with some heavy firepower. For today's spotlight video, Blizzard takes a good 11-minute look at the Helix Security International mercenary.

Pharah comes equipped with wrist barrels and a rocket launcher to take out foes from a distance. She can also escape danger with her Jump Jets and knock any incoming enemies out with her Concussive Blast rockets. Pharah players will constantly want to stick and move, mastering rocket shots while on the go. This should set her up to let loose with a Barrage Ultimate Ability that sends out multiple rockets in a single blast.

Check out the full 11 minutes of Pharah gameplay below. The Overwatch beta starts this fall on PC, with sign-ups open on Battle.net.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
