ZEPHYR

Command the power of the wind. Zephyr’s cyclonic abilities protect her, deal high damage, and provide crowd control. She swoops in from above and leaves a path of destruction.

Zephyr flies around the map with Tail Wind and leans on Turbulence to shrug off all ranged damage, so she plays as a mobile, gunfire-immune skirmisher rather than a tank that eats melee hits. Her real damage comes from using Airburst to bunch enemies into stacked Tornadoes, making her a crowd control and open-world mobility pick rather than a top Steel Path burst-damage frame.
