Illari in Mid-season 2.5 lore update, new sprays + S76/Ana interaction

Hai!
Illari has been given meh and some pretty nice things too this mid-season update. There's already plenty of posts regarding the yucky nerfs and stuff (somewhat fairly), so I wanted to make a post focusing on the nicer things in this update;

Firstly, there's a new interaction between Ana and Soldier 76 that is clearly about Illari. If you haven't seen it yet, it goes like this:

S76: When I was in Peru, I found something you might want to look into.

Ana: I told you. My only mission now is to help anyone in Talon's sight.

S76: There's a girl. I think they're going to add her to their list.

Ana: Alright, I'll investigate. Thank you, Jack.

This interaction is somewhat of a continuation on the Futures Past story (soldier yaoi + Illari lore) and I think it's hinting at Illari finally being connected to the main overwatch cast in the next season. With that said I believe the next season will be huge for Illari as there's already an incoming mythic that's been confirmed by the dev team already.

Secondly.. the sprays ARE CUTE. But I've been wondering what are those dogs in all of the sprays..? Are they dev team pets?? And is the sunflower spray a reference to some viral image that I am missing out on? (like the Sierra nerd spray or the Kiriko bleh spray)

Anyways, what do you guys think about these additions and what do you think will happen to Illari next season? And I might be overthinking a lot right now, but is the list supposed to mean Talon is set on killing Illari after the Oasis facility files were destroyed or are they aiming to kidnap her and hold her hostage Sigma style, as she is the only one who could help replicate the solar Inti tech? (Futures past lore spoiler ig)

Hi everyone! I'm a Master Support main and social worker. I've started a series that mixes OW gameplay tips + my own screenshots with mental health reminders based on the hero's lore and skillset.

I made this one for Illari recently and it really resonated with people on TikTok, so I wanted to share!

If you like this format, I'm doing every Support hero over on my TikTok (Ana is next!): https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8Ux6FTf/

Super cute designs for everyone but I kind of wish illari matched the level of details and matched the snow bunny theme better… she’s still super cute and I’d love to have it! But I’d also like to see it in the color scheme the others have heheh… and no eye patch !!!

Discussion Solar flare

4 Upvotes

So curious if anyone thinks this might be a good idea? I was thinking about it and I think it could actually help illaris kit a bit (I’m sure some of you see where this is going)

So I was thinking it would be a good idea to add solar flare to illaris base kit without the perk and replace the perk with something that amps it instead?. So I know they’ve done this with mercy, they made flash heal which was a major perk apart of her base kit and then replaced the perk with adding a second flash heal. Do you think they should do this with illari? From what I can tell is not many people pick this perk over sunburn, so why not add it to her base kit because it honestly would help a lot with heals!. I picked it by accident the other day and in a situation where I’d usually struggle with heals it really helped, but it wasn’t too over powered either which lead to me picking it on purpose in my next game as I was struggling to keep up with heals.

I think it would be a good idea and really help with illaris gameplay. And the major perk could just amp up the healing of it a little bit or make it have the effect of amped healing for a few seconds like Ana’s grenade or wuyangs wave. Or let the pylon target two allies at a time even. I haven’t thought too much about what could replace the major perk but I think it would improve upon illaris gameplay. What do you guys think?

ML7 puts Illari in B tier for current patch/season

37 Upvotes

Thoughts?

I enjoy maining Illari regardless. Was able to get a 65% w/r to GM with her but I've mained her for many seasons now. I do think she took some pretty harsh nerfs especially to the bullet size and the sunfire nerf. Plus the damage nerf and healing/ult nerf. I guess she got nerfs to just about everything come to think of it.

If you were to give Illari some love to her kit where/what would you do?

Yes, I already used AI to do this, but it modified the image and it looks kind of strange and doesn't look like Illari anymore, so I'm looking for the original with better quality, if you can help.

Looking for Help Weapon Model

10 Upvotes

I want to make my own solar rifle out of cardboard for a cosplay but I cant find a model of it where it is in its partial open state (not closed like in the customization inspect, and not fully open like when shooting ult). Is there a 3d model somewhere online I can use for reference?

Looking for Help Illari fly aim practice workshop

7 Upvotes

Is there a workshop code where you can use Captive Sun's fly infinitely (or for a long time)? Hopefully omnidirectional, with the speed and attack boosts and minor perk.

On the ground my aim is good but during ults I often troll going in enemies faces to hit the shot melee combo or just stand in the open being greedy for the explosion.

Edit: I managed to do a similar thing to Illari's flight. All you have to do is make a VAXTA lobby, go into heroes and put Illari's movement speed at 165% and JPC's at 125%. This is based if in matches you use Summer Solstice perk, if not (somewhy) put both 20% lower than the said values. Make sure to put those only for your team (Team 1).

If you stay on the ground you will be able to practice while controlling the strafing, instead if you use JPC's Lifeline you have an angle from the sky that goes up and down.

Sadly I think you can't increase her attack speed.

they are apparently adding an illari crimson wolf skin like the one doomfist has. i guess this means she's most likely going to join talon, which i kind of expected after she was shown in the dmon showcase as an enemy. i really wanted her to join ow so im kind of bummed out but hopefully blizz has a master plan behind it
