Joining the ranks of Overwatch 2 support heroes, Lifeweaver is a unique character that doubles down on healing and utility while saving teammates from trouble using his Life Grip ability to pull them out of battle. Like any new hero, his inclusion also brings an assortment of new skins to unlock.
As of Overwatch 2 Season 4, there are ten Lifeweaver skins available, including his default skin, four Rare skins, two Epic skins, and three Legendary skins. Some are truly fabulous while others leave something to be desired. To get a sense of which ones to prioritize, look no further than this ranking of every Lifeweaver skin in Overwatch 2.
10 Magnolia: A Muted Mess
For a hero whose entire identity centers on nature, Lifeweaver's Magnolia skin does a terrible job of communicating the vibrancy and color diversity present across Mother Earth. The switch to muted primary and accent colors feels quite bland in comparison to other skins, even his base one.
As a result, this is likely to be one of the less-popular ensembles in Lifeweaver’s wardrobe, as many of his alternate outfits simply have more to offer. With that said, you can pick up this forgettable Rare skin for 300 Coins or Credits.
9 Hydrangea: A Green Gaffe
Inching its way past Magnolia by a small margin, Hydrangea is another Lifeweaver skin that brings very few new design elements to the table. The only real differences are a few color changes to the bionic petals on his back as well as the character’s pants, belt, and gauntlet.
While the shift to green for the back petals is a welcome change that cleverly mirrors the hero’s thematic ties to nature, the execution is not all that exciting or visually compelling. Considering this Rare skin will also run you 300 Coins/Credits, there are far better options.
8 Lifeweaver: Beautifully Basic
There’s a lot of pressure to nail an Overwatch hero’s base design, and in this respect, Blizzard really knocked it out of the park with Lifeweaver’s default look. This includes a good selection of colors and textures that contrast nicely, particularly the muted pink petals on his back and the shiny gold belt keeping his jacket closed.
The petals also have a subtle pattern near the tips of each blade that are not missing from a few other variations. All in all, this is far from the worst skin to be stuck wearing until you amass enough money to unlock something more visually appealing.
7 Amsonia: The Real Teal
Next up, Amsonia is one of the best Lifeweaver skins to accurately convey the look and feel of the real-life flower it’s named after. This is done by assigning a light greenish-blue hue to the character’s petals, belt, gauntlets, and pants for a more colorful and naturalistic look.
The subtle pattern along the tips of the petal blades from the base design makes a return as well. As such, Amsonia feels like one of the few Rare skins in Overwatch 2 that’s worth shelling out the Coins or Credits to unlock it.
6 Orchid: Perfectly Pink
Orchid is another Rare skin with close visual ties to its namesake plant. Like Amsonia, its design takes a broad-stroke approach in assigning similar shades of pinkish hues to each part of Lifeweaver’s ensemble to create a consistent look.
At the same time, it introduces a few new design elements to help it stand out from other outfits in the hero’s repertoire. This includes a different pattern on his back petals that’s located near the center of each blade rather than at the very tips.
5 Cassia: Cool, Calm, And Collected
At first glance, the Epic skin Cassia looks fairly similar to Hydrangea as they both prominently feature shades of green coloring. However, look closer and a bunch of small yet prevalent details will begin to come into focus, such as a gold leaf pattern along Lifeweaver’s now-white pants.
Additionally, the back petals receive a new, more intricate blade pattern that’s further complemented by a slight gradient effect that stretches from the base to the tips of each petal. Of course, like any Epic skin in Overwatch 2, this all comes at the cost of 1,000 Coins or Credits.
4 Sovereign: Righteously Regal
There’s something so awesome about a Legendary skin that’s not afraid to make bold new design choices to dramatically change a character’s look. Such is the case with Sovereign, a rather regal-looking alternate that reimagines Lifeweaver as a French aristocrat.
The main highlights of this skin include a white wig commonly worn by high-society types, a dapper green jacket with red accents, and bright red and yellow-colored back petals modeled after the iconic French fleur-de-lis. A steep ask at 1,900 Overwatch Coins, but definitely worth the money.
3 Lotus: The Devil’s In The Details
Despite its positioning as an Epic skin, Lotus is quite remarkable in comparison to many of the other alternates previously mentioned. Much of its appeal can be attributed to the eye-catching color combinations of red, yellow, and black with touches of gray on Lifeweaver’s jacket.
Another detail that’s sure to catch your eye is the hero’s back petals, which now sport slits along each blade with a majestic-looking yellow pattern layered on top. Priced at 1,000 Coins/Credits, this Epic skin deserves a spot in any Lifeweaver main’s collection and is likely to weasel its way into your regular rotation.
2 Regent: Bewitched By Blue
Maintaining many of the same design principles as Lifeweaver’s Sovereign skin, Regent is another Legendary skin that takes the character in a drastically new direction. His blue-tinted jacket and tan pants give off an air of upper-class wealth and elitism that carries over to the rest of the design.
Look closely, and you’ll see red jewels embedded in the base of each petal attached to his back, as well as a subtle pattern on the lead blade tips that cleverly mimic the French fleur-de-lis icon. To round out this skin, Lifeweaver sports a black head of hair with a gray stripe running down the middle.
1 Phi Ta Khon: Masked Mastery
Obtainable by reaching Tier 30 of Overwatch 2’s premium Battle Pass, Phi Ta Khon is a Legendary skin based on the Thai festival of the same name. As part of this traditional Buddhist celebration, festival-goers don masks made of palm leaf stems with carved wooden noses and ear-like appendages.
Taking a look at the skin in-game reveals just how meticulously it was designed, with different fabrics and textures assigned to Lifeweaver’s pants, jacket, belt, and petals. What’s more, the addition of a mask makes this Legendary skin stand out while serving as a meaningful representation of the hero’s culture and identity.
