Lena “Tracer” Oxton is a former member of the original Overwatch and one of the first members to rejoin Overwatch after it had been re-established.

Tracer is a dedicated person who is committed to protecting the citizens and hopes her fighting can someday lead the world to a better place.

She is a damage hero meaning she is one of the characters responsible for securing a kill by engaging and attacking the enemies. Tracer is a close-range character who specializes in speed and single target damage making her great for focusing attacks.
