Summary & Playstyle

Wrecking Ball is a hyper-mobile tank who excels at disruption and space control. With Grappling Claw, he can swing across maps, knocking enemies around and engaging from unpredictable angles. His Adaptive Shield provides survivability, scaling with the number of nearby enemies. Strong Ball players constantly pressure the backline, forcing supports and DPS out of position. He thrives on chaos, diving in, displacing enemies, and rolling out before being punished. Poor timing or lack of coordination, however, leaves him vulnerable once his shields expire. Wrecking Ball fits best in dive and chaotic comps where mobility is key. His Minefield ultimate is excellent for zoning objectives or punishing grouped enemies. For players who enjoy high-speed gameplay, disruption, and map-wide presence, Wrecking Ball is one of the most dynamic tanks in Overwatch.
