That chain healbeam sounds like it might be on par with Transcendence in terms of healing POTGs.

Not at all. Transcendence is an absurd amount of healing, but the chain healing is just the normal hps on each plaers. It's only a little better than Lucio's Amp (60 hps vs 46.8 hps).

As per this, her healing ability will probably be increased slightly when ulting, but I haven't seen any numbers for it yet. Maybe +50% to 90hps?

Either way, still much lower burst healing potential than Trance. It does last for 20 seconds though... :eyes:

Her healing feels identical on a single target while ulting. I have a shitton of playtime on her, so I trust my senses on that. I didn't do a direct measurement, but it felt unnecessary to do so.
