Pharah (Fareeha Amari)

Amari Protector

Hey there, thanks for checking this out. Would love feedback on this & other of my creations! Links below.
Big shout out to Kai'sa for collabing with me on this one!


Fareeha Amari's commitment to duty runs in her blood. She comes from a long line of highly decorated soldiers and burns with the desire to serve with honor.
As a child, Fareeha dreamed of following in her mother's footsteps and joining the global peacekeeping force, Overwatch. She enlisted in the Egyptian army, and with her exemplary record, Fareeha was well placed to join the ranks of Overwatch, but before she had that opportunity, Overwatch was disbanded.
After leaving the army with a commendation for distinguished service, she was offered employment with a private security firm contracted to defend a top-secret facility that was touted as vital to the safety of countries across the globe. Fareeha gladly accepted the choice assignment and received training in the Raptora Mark VI, an experimental combat suit designed for rapid mobility and devastating firepower.
She took up the callsign "Pharah", and despite finding herself in the nexus, wears that mantle to this day while she finds ways to keep the realms safe, just as she had before to honor her family heritage...


Nimble, Destructive and Predictive ranged Assassin with an ammo system + Alternating fire modes enabling Cleaving or Directed Strikes. Utilizes Movement tricks to create a slippery attack vector, Bypassing bodyblocks and chokepoints if necessary. Has a Scouting drone that can be upgraded for various purposes.

Combat Trait

1
(D) Raptora Boosts
Cooldown:13s


Pharah's Suit provides her with a number of combat bonuses.
Activate the ability to jump a short range to a target area vertically, gaining 15% movement speed and the ability to pass over walls for 5 Seconds. Speed boost [and wall climb] is removed upon taking direct damage.
While boosted above terrain and for 1 second afterward, Pharah's Vision range increases by 3 units.

While above 80% Health, Pharah gains 50% Physical armor, reducing the damage of incoming auto attacks by 50%.

Pharah's Omnic Targeting Assistance mode (Auto Attacks) cleave in an area around the target's (3 units) impact area. Once depleting her rocket supply, she takes 2 seconds to reload, replenishing the 6 rounds in her launcher.

Primary Abilities

1
(Q) Covering Fire
Cooldown:12s
Cooldown (Active): .33s

Mana: 50
Mana (Active): 10



Pharah switches her targeting mode, disabling auto attack while active but giving her the ability to place a rocket strike up to 9.75 units away, dealing 220 damage at a targeted location with a projectile that will explode with the first hero, structure, or terrain it comes in contact with, exploding in a radius of 1.5 units around the target. If used within 2 seconds of hovering over terrain, the rocket will ignore collision and go over terrain.
{speed of 20u/Second (.5s to cross vision range)}

Deals between 35-70% less damage to structures, based on distance from target, less distance deals higher damage.

Lasts until cancelled by [1] Omnic Targeting Assistance, but the active component cannot be used if there are no rockets left, pending a reload.
If used while Omnic Targeting Assistance is active, Pharah instantly reloads her magazine and starts the cooldown on Covering Fire (usable again when in OTA mode.)
2
(W) Eye of Horus UAV
Cooldown:18s
Mana: 35


Pharah calls in the assistance of a Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, Painting the targeted area after .5 seconds. Enemy Heroes are marked with a target lock(Image below) until they leave the radius (18 unit diameter) and for 5 seconds afterwards.
*DOES NOT GIVE VISION OF AREA.*

If Pharah uses Eye of Horus in an area she has vision of, the scan is instant and any hidden enemy objects or units are revealed for 4 seconds.

Allied units that strike the marked targets break the lock, dealing an additional 75 damage on their ability or auto attack.
Lasts 10 seconds.
(Usable range similar to Abathur Toxic Mines, see talents for upgrades.)
3
(E) Concussive Blast
Cooldown:9s
Mana:30


Pharah looses a wrist rocket that knocks back any enemies it strikes, dealing 100 damage. This projectile can collide with terrain and moves targets away from the impact area, ignoring minions, and resets her auto attack timer.

If Pharah is in the detonation radius of Concussive Blast near terrain, she is moved in a linear direction opposite of the impact area. Pharah's speed boost is proportional to the proximity, up to 150% for one second after launching, decaying rapidly. Can cause her to cross over terrain if Raptora Boost's active component is off cooldown, but does not trigger it.

Pharah does not take damage from her own Concussive Blasts.

Secondary Abilities

1
(1) Omnic Targeting Assistance
Cooldown:3s


Pharah's Raptora suit default mode adds the assistance of an Omnic AI, enabling precision targeting from her helmet visor, after a short weapons lock. This ability can be Activated while Covering Fire is active, Re-enabling the targeting assistance along with her auto-attack functionality.

Covering Fire's cooldown period begins once it is triggered, and does not change relative to OTA.

Switching from OTA to Covering Fire will reload Pharah's active rocket magazine instantly.

Heroic Abilities

1
(R1) Barrage
Cooldown:90s
Mana:10 + 1 Per rocket fired


Pharah hovers above, steadies her position for .5s, and directs a continuous salvo of mini-rockets to destroy groups of enemies.
Each rocket does 20 damage in an (3 unit) impact area around the target, which is directed with the mouse cursor and will attempt to follow it up to a certian (15 units) range while Pharah stays in place.

Pharah fires 30 rockets per second for 3 seconds, and if cancelled early, will refund 1 second of cooldown per rocket unfired. Does not occur if a loss of control effect interrupts Barrage.

After 1 second this ability can be pressed again to cancel it.
2
(R2) Raptora Overdrive
Cooldown:50s
Mana:10 + 5/second, stacking


Pharah seals her helmet while boosting towards a targeted location, placing an active targeting interface over the player's UI over 1s, and gains the functionality of Raptora Boost's terrain climb, and 30% movement speed while recently not taking direct damage.
All nearby targets in range of the viewbox are painted with Horus Locks, and Pharah's suit abilites are empowered, activating Covering Fire.
  • Auto Attacks are enabled during this mode, and OTA mode is disabled from activation during this time.
  • Covering Fire rockets have half-cooldowns for activation, and have double mana costs.
  • Reload Timer starts as soon as a rocket is fired, and reloads occur .5s faster. (1.5s total)
  • Regeneration Globe duration & Healing, Mana Regeneration, and Health Regeneration are doubled during this time.
  • Horus UAV cooldown is Halved, and the mana cost removed.

Level 16


(E) Shrapnel: Landing a damaging Concussive Blast causes a Star-shaped pattern of 20 shrapnel rounds to explode from the impact point, firing out in various directions dealing 10 damage each. Striking an enemy hero reduces the cooldown of (E) by .1s per shrapnel piece.
