Mauga is an offense-focused Overwatch 2 tank, who has the unique tank ability to heal his teammates. Armed with two massive miniguns, Mauga is designed for getting into combat and dealing large amounts of damage, but this offensive forward design makes him weak to crowd control abilities. As long as you can avoid pushing at the wrong time, Mauga can dominate most enemy tanks. Here's everything you need to know about playing Mauga in Overwatch 2.

Now Playing: Overwatch 2 — Official Mauga Hero Gameplay Reveal Trailer
Mauga is armed with dual miniguns, one that ignites enemies and the other that applies critical damage to ignited enemies. He has a charge ability that knocks enemies out of the way that finishes with a stomp and knocks enemies down if he lands on them. His Cardiac Overdrive ability creates an area around Mauga that lets both him and teammates in the area recover health by dealing damage. His ultimate, Cage Fight, creates an arena with a shield, chaining enemies nearby in the circle, unable to leave.
Incendiary Chaingun: Automatic weapon that ignites enemies on repeated impacts.
Volatile Chaingun: Automatic weapon that deals critical damage to burning enemies.
Overrun: Charge forward and stomp to launch enemies. You are unstoppable while charging.
Cardiac Overdrive: Nearby allies take reduced damage and heal by dealing damage.
Berserker Passive: Gain temporary health when dealing critical damage.
Cage Fight Ultimate: Deploy a barrier that traps yourself and enemies. Gain unlimited ammo while inside.
Mauga thrives when pushing on the enemy team. His dual miniguns allow him to do a tremendous amount of damage. You can fire them simultaneously, but using the left incendiary gun to light someone on fire before dealing critical damage with the right seems more effective. The guns share an ammo pool, so firing at the same time drains them very quickly. You also won't get the bonus critical damage right away, which is important, because it deals more damage and provides you with additional temporary health.
Cardiac Overdrive should be used when you reach about half health, as it takes a moment for health to be restored when you deal damage. You also need to watch out for any crowd control abilities, specifically a sleep or anti-heal grenade from

If you’ve been playing My Hero Ultra Rumble you may have noticed some players with a little extra flare about them. And by flare, we mean that in the literal sense.
During the initial bathhouse tutorial with Wonyan, you learn each spirit has an associated season, which impacts where they like to sit in the bath. It can be tricky to keep track of each spirit’s season and preferences, but these details affect your profits.

Overwatch 2 Season 8 is less than a couple of weeks away now, and it's looking like players will see massive updates to the upcoming tank hero Mauga.
Blizzard says it wants Mauga to «feel strong at launch.»
Season 8 is arriving soon as the final season of 2023 (and first of 2024), and it should be bringing plenty with it to wrap up the year and ring in the new one. The game has had its fair share of ups and downs in 2023, with the May reveal that the long-anticipated PvE mode would never arrive in the form that was originally promised. Regular updates have proceeded without interruption, however, with a number of new heroes, maps, and modes, along with plenty of cosmetics to unlock.
is adding a new hero to its roster starting in Season 8, and this one has an extra dose of personality for players to enjoy. Mauga is a Samoan tank with a heavy backstory and powerful abilities. The announcement came during BlizzCon 2023 and Mauga was playable for that weekend only as a limited-time bonus trial run that was designed to go along with the event. Luckily, anyone who missed out doesn't have long to wait, as both Mauga and his guns are being added to the game permanently in just a few weeks.
Blizzard Entertainment has revealed the next three heroes of Overwatch 2, including Mauga, a new duel-wielding tank hero that hits the game next month. Plus, the Overwatch 2 team teased a new DPS hero and Support hero hitting the roster sometime down the line.
The Overwatch team did something unprecedented at this weekend’s BlizzCon. Not only did they reveal new tank hero Mauga (and made him immediately playable for everyone during a weekend trial), developers showed off two more heroes coming to Overwatch 2 in 2024. They even teased a third, another tank, who won’t come to the game until season 14.
At BlizzCon 2023's opening ceremony, Blizzard announced Mauga as the 39th hero to be added to Overwatch 2 with the upcoming Season 8. A damage-based tank hailing from Samoa, Mauga was available to try both at home and at the event itself; we played a few games and discussed our first impressions here.
Blizzard recently introduced its 39th Hero to its multiplayer shooterOverwatch 2, in the form of Mauga, a tall, thick-set Samoan tank who, players have noted, looks rather like Pixar’s portrayal of the Polynesian demigod Maui in its animated film Moana. Well, it appears there’s more of a link between the two than just a passing resemblance, as Mauga directly references Maui in his voice lines.
