Zenyatta enters a state of heightened existence for a short period of time. While transcendent, Zenyatta cannot use abilities or weapons, but is immune to damage, moves twice as fast, and automatically restores his health and that of nearby allies.

Default Key: (, , )
"Experience tranquility."

Details[]

During Transcendence, Zenyatta switches to third person mode where he cannot attack or use any other ability, is invulnerable to enemy fire, and has doubled movement speed. Any debuffs affecting him are removed upon activation. He is still vulnerable to knockback and stun effects, though neither will interrupt the ultimate.

Every ally within 10 meters and line of sight of Zenyatta will be healed for 300 healing per second, with a visual indicator on the ground that marks said radius. The healing is also blocked by all barriers. Zenyatta's ammo is refilled upon completion of the ultimate.

A Zenyatta on the enemy team will say "Pass into the Iris", while an allied and player-controlled Zenyatta says "Experience tranquility."

Trivia[]

  • If the Cultist skin is equipped, a player-controlled and allied Zenyatta will say "Experience nothingness.", while an enemy Zenyatta will say "Pass into the unknown"
  • If the Nutcracker skin is equipped, a player-controlled and allied Zenyatta will say "Experience festivity."
