Ashe is a damage character, who can fire from the hip with her rifle or aim down the sights for higher damage. She carries with her dynamite, and more. Check out the full rundown of details below, as explained by Overwatch’s official website:

• The Viper: Ashe’s semi-automatic rifle fires quick shots, or she can use her aim-down sights for a more damaging, precise shot.
• Dynamite: Ashe throws an explosive that detonates after a short delay or immediately when shot. The explosion from Dynamite also lights enemies on fire, dealing damage over time.
• Coach Gun: Ashe blasts enemies in front of her, knocking them away and propelling herself backward for added mobility.
• B.O.B.: Ashe summons her trusted omnic sidekick, B.O.B., who charges forward and knocks enemies into the air, then lays down suppressing fire with his arm cannons.

Speaking on stage, Blizzard’s Jeff Kaplan also seemed to imply that Echo, who also features in the new animated short, will be a playable character at some point, but that more time was needed with the character.
