Hi Steemians gaming, the post this time is aimed at a character that does not always work well in games, but that really is very good option against teams that do not have long distance shots . I hope you like it!

Commented already in previous posts.

Overwatch is one of the most famous videogames currently in the community of players with just over a year, competing directly against video games like League Of Legends in countries like South Korea, where more find active players and becoming the most played video game in that country.

Your game mechanic consists of six people per team, where we choose a hero with unique moves and abilities. The main objective is to work in team either to attack or defend points, goal escort, control and competitive mode. They recently added new game modes as team combat.

Each hero has a specific role and are: Offensive, Defensive, Tank and Support with various maps and game modes. They make Overwatch one of the most beloved games in the community of players. And for my one of my favorites.

According to official figures on the same page Overwatch exceeds 30 million players.

Fareeha Amari carries the call of duty in the blood. He comes from a long line of decorated soldiers, and his chief task is to serve with honor.

As a child, Fareeha dreamed of following in the footsteps of her mother and joining Overwatch, the global organization to keep the peace. She enlisted in the Egyptian army, where her perseverance and tactical ability made her ascend to the rank of officer. She was a brave leader and gained the loyalty of all who were under her command. Such a record would have earned Fareeha a place in the Overwatch ranks, but before the opportunity presented itself, the organization was disbanded.

After leaving the army with a mention of honor for his services, he was offered a job at Helix Security International: a private security company contracted to defend artificial intelligence research facilities located under esplanade of Guiza. It was said that the secret base was vital to the security of the region and several countries around the world. Fareeha delightedly accepted the position and was trained to use the specially designed Raptor Mark VI Rapid Combat suit that has a devastating offensive capability.

Now, under the code name "Pharah", it takes care of security in the AI installation. Although he regrets Overwatch's disappearance, he still dreams of fighting for justice and making a difference on a global scale.

Pharah is an offensive, overly offensive hero who can plow the Overwatch skies and destroy all his enemies thanks to his thrusters that allow him to stay in the skies in addition to his powerful rockets.

His passive is very simple allowing Pharah to levitate in the air by means of his suit of last technology with a duration of 2 seconds, that really is little but the time of recharge of its passive it is also 2 seconds so you will not be long on the floor.

Pharah is equipped with the latest technology rocket launcher that causes considerable damage to his enemies in a blast on a radio. Harming their enemies critical hits up to 120 health, with a capacity of 6 bullets little ammunition, but a very strong damage.

It is his first ability which allows him to reach great heights due to his suit and propellers, with a duration of 1.5 seconds and a reuse of 10 seconds. It is important to know how to use this ability to always be farther away from the ground and enemies.

Your second very useful ability in which you need to jump or push the enemies off the map by firing a small rocket from your wrist, I laugh this ability because when I play with my friends call it the "suppository" skill. The reuse of this ability is 12 seconds.

Its unique and special ability allows you to destroy your enemies thanks to a bombing of mini rockets, firing 90 rockets for 3 seconds with an average of 30 rockets per second. A useful skill that can be supplemented with skills of other heroes in a great example the Zarya special that groups them all.

This gameplay is my property on my channel YouTube

I do not use Pharah very rarely, I do very well with her, she is a great character with high-flying odds, thanks to the effectiveness of her rockets and her flight path high, it is important to stay away from the ground by means of your passive and aerial propelling ability.

Generally not a hard-to-use hero, with great mobility and extensive damage from his rockets. As long as you predict enemy moves which is not so difficult, Pharah is usually a hero used in Overwatch because of his damage and flying height, a totally offensive heroine in every sense of the word.

Pharah to summarize is like seeing Iron Man in a state-of-the-art rocket shooting suit, but in woman version from Egypt. At first it is difficult to adapt to Pharah since its rockets arrive a little behind so it is advisable to shoot at the feet.

Its flying height makes it a difficult target to shoot.
Wide damage of your rockets.
Your Special Used properly can kill the enemy team.
Strong against heroes like Bastion, Junkrat or Mei, as they can escape the range of them thanks to their airpower.
Very useful on fully open maps.

Sometimes it is very difficult to stay in the air for the 2 seconds that your passive lasts.
Weak against characters that have enough cadence of shot like McCree or Soldier 76 and is many occasions against Roadhog by its chain.
Weak against the sniper Widowmaker or D.Va because with his thrusters can reach Pharah.
It's not recommended indoors.

This part I love since I learn things I did not know about the heroes.

Chris Metzen has joked that Pharah has "a bit of a Captain America type."
A portrait of Pharah is available in StarCraft II for those who buy the edition of Origins.
Pharaoh's design, which includes the Egyptian eye symbol of Horus around an eye and armor reminiscent of a hawk, is a reference to the ancient Egyptian god Horus, god of the sky and protector of the pharaoh.
A giant Pharah action figure was exhibited in Busan as part of a pre-release promotion for Overwatch.
Ana Amari shares a similar eye of Horus' tattoo as Pharaoh.
A statue of Funko Pop Pharah is available at the Blizzard store.
Pharah's design was "bottom-up"; where developers begin with the game mechanics, and then build a character around them. Its original design was made by Geoff Goodman. It was a simple concept of a male hero with a jetpack, simply called "Rocket Dude". Another original concept was made by Justin Thavirat. More iterations were made. Her official code name was "Rocket Queen."
The inspiration for it was taken from the series of tribes. He was one of the first personages implemented in the game, arriving at the same time of Tracer, Reaper and Widowmaker (the first three heroes implemented).
