How to unlock Illari in Overwatch 2 Season 7

lllari was the last Support Hero that was released in Overwatch 2 on August 10, 2023. According to the lore, she is the last among the Inti Warriors and has solar threads woven throughout her body and, therefore, is bestowed with the power of the sun. Many players believe that her design and abilities share a similarity with League of Legends' Senna, making her something of a hybrid between a Support and a Damage character.

As with all new characters in Overwatch 2, Illari was also available as part of the Season 6 Battle Pass when she was released. You could get her for free by grinding to Tier 45 of the Pass or instantly by purchasing the premium track. However, with the advent of Season 7, this method of acquiring the new Support Hero is not available anymore.

All hope is not lost, as you can still unlock Illari in the current season and beyond. This guide will walk you through the various ways you can get Illari Overwatch 2 Season 7 onwards.
