Details[]
- For the information about attacks which is able to pierce through Symmetra's barrier, see Barrier.
Symmetra creates a massive flat barrier, which spans across the map, anywhere in front of her. The barrier is not obstructed by parts of the environment and has an infinite size.
The barrier has 4000 HP and will block all incoming damage from enemies for as long as it is in front of them. Enemies can pass through without any effect.
Symmetra can change the barrier's orientation by pressing the ultimate key again before activating it.
Photon Barrier passively charges 1% every 3 seconds.
A player-controlled or hostile Symmetra will say "यही परम वास्तविकता है!", while an allied Symmetra will say "Reality bends to my will!"
