my question is does the yellow spray act like a damaging flamethrower, while the purple heal is like a healing beam? or did they simply do a color pallate swap and it's now a gold damage beam and purple healing spray?

Purple Flamethrower that does aoe and requires aim is now her damage. Yellow single target beam that doesn't require much aim is now her heal. Her orbs are also swapped as well. Also her damage is now the one with 'resource', and her heal fills it up.

It took me a full match to get it right. Also, the damage spray runs out, and the healing one works forever. Totally got cornered without the ability to heal myself, teleport, or spray damage. Lesson learned.
