Overwatch – What’s the Number on Lucio’s HUD?

overwatch

There's a number on Lucios HUD right under the crosshair. It seems to fluctuate between 1-5.

Couple questions: What is the number? Can I influence the number changes directly? Is a higher number better?

Best Answer

The number lets you know how many of your teammates (other than yourself) are under the effect of your AoE heal/movement buff. For example, if the number is '5', the whole team is receiving your heals/boosts. If nobody (other than you) is receiving any buffs, the number disappears.

To answer your other two questions:

  • Yes, you can influence the number by remaining in range and in line-of-sight of your teammates.
  • Yes, a higher number is better. :)
