You’ll get the most value out of Lifeweaver by healing your team, but his weapon has relatively high damage for a support hero. While mainly intended as a form of defense, Lifeweaver can deal a decent amount of damage with Thorn Volley as well. With this weapon, he fires biolight thorns at enemies in a scattered pattern. His alternate primary fire is called Thorn Volley. Healing Blossom is soft target-based, like Brigitte’s Armor Packs, and we feel this ability enables players across the board to find value in his kit and playstyle. Our goal with Lifeweaver was to create an accessible support hero who is viable in many different scenarios and skill levels. Healing Blossom was the starting point for this kit, and from there, we built out his other abilities.

The longer he charges the blossom, the more healing it provides. With this weapon, he charges a luminescent flower and sends it to his allies.

Healing Blossom is Lifeweaver’s first primary fire (more on that in a bit). We ideated further based on these concepts and landed on something that offers an all-new playstyle to the game while also expanding our support class.

One of these pieces features an older physician who drew healing energy into his hands and blasted it into his allies, a bit like Moira’s Coalescence. His final look is the result of a culmination of many different teams, including various concept art, hero design, and narrative. Lifeweaver has a unique playstyle that introduces a few new mechanics into the game, so let’s take a walk through his kit and how he was developed. This groundbreaking technology is woven throughout his abilities, and it plays a pivotal role in the healing and utility aspects of his kit. Hailing from Thailand, Lifeweaver is characterized by his love and respect for nature as well as his advanced biolight technology. He’s witty, kind, and always looking to lift those in need-sometimes literally.
