A mech that reassembles itself, an energy blade that can lunge and knock enemies back — D.Mon looks like the result of Blizzard tossing D.Va and Reinhardt into the same lab. Even Engadget admitted, "We weren't planning to write another hero update, but D.Mon is just too cool."
D.Mon isn't actually a new face. She first appeared in a 2018 animated short as a member of D.Va's MEKA squad, but it wasn't until a mech silhouette showed up in this year's hero teaser that players confirmed she'd become Overwatch's 53rd playable hero — and its 15th tank. Her mech is codenamed Beast, a detail Blizzard has emphasized.
Gameplay-wise, D.Mon does inherit part of D.Va's genetics: she can't fly, but she can dash sideways using fuel-limited thrusters and deal ranged damage with a machine gun ability. When her mech is destroyed, she ejects and survives, later resummoning the mech via her ultimate — though unlike D.Va's mech dropping from the sky, Beast reassembles itself piece by piece around her.
