Mauga is a big target, and his abilities may help somewhat in battle, but players will want a healer at their side to make sure they stay alive. His ability to take reduced damage and heal through dealing damage is fairly average, and his Cage Fight ability to trap himself with enemies isn't the most efficient other than for a sacrifice play or to create further aggressive carnage that can easily distract opponents long enough to secure objecti

Even better still, Winston has a Jump Pack that allows him to get involved in the fight, or jump away from it, and his Barrier Projector allows for a shield bubble that can trap enemies and ensure their damage does not leave the dome.
