We all knew it was coming, but Anran is one of five new Overwatch heroes coming in The Reign of Talon's Season 1: Conquest. Wuyang's sister and fellow Wuxing University student, this DPS hero fans the flames—quite literally—with powerful new abilities and perks to blitz through the backline.

While the DPS launches fully in The Reign of Talon's Season 1: Conquest on Tuesday, February 10, 2026, Anran's getting a hero trial starting Thursday, February 5, so you can try her up to five days early.

Firstly, Anran is a Flanking DPS hero with 250 HP with lots of mobility, so you'll want to pick off key players from behind and dive into groups. As a Flanker, she benefits from a new role passive, which causes health packs to restore more health.
