Deploy Turret: Constructs an auto-firing turret that targets enemies in its range.
Overload: A temporary boost that increases Torbjorn’s health, movement speed, and attack speed, making him tougher and more lethal in combat.
Molten Core (Ultimate): Deploys pools of lava that damage and slow enemies, excellent for area denial.

Central Plaza: The starting point, with open space and some high ground.
Narrow Streets and Corridors: Tight paths and chokepoints ideal for ambushes or area control.
Elevated Areas: Buildings and platforms offering height advantages for turret placement.
