(3/10) (9/10) (4/10) (5/10)

Lt. Morales is a Ranged Support Hero, based on the medic unit of the StarCraft universe.^[1]

Background Edit

Lt. Rosa Morales joined the United Earth Directorate (UED) to make a difference and protect her family. Over a very long and storied career, she has distinguished herself as a peerless medic, able to keep her patients alive and in the fight long after anyone else would have gone down. Lt. Morales is a veteran of the Brood War, and even the destruction of the UED Expeditionary Fleet didn’t slow her down. In the Nexus, she does what she does best: heal her teammates, support her allies, and make a difference.^[2]

Weaknesses Edit

• Limited and tricky crowd control with Displacement Grenade
