An electricity based Legend, Wattson’s tactical ability Perimeter Security places fence poles with connecting beams of electricity that damage and stun enemies that pass through the beams. Her passive ability Spark of Genius causes her shields to slowly regenerate over time and causes an Ultimate Accelerant to fully recharge her ultimate ability. Her ultimate ability Interception Pylon destroys all grenades, missiles, and other throwables when they get near, and will also recharge all players' shields within a certain radius.

Charge time 3 min

Place an electrified pylon that destroys incoming ordnance and repairs damaged shields. Standing near Pylons boosts Wattson's tactical recharge rate. (Max: 1)

The Pylon has 150 health and no set duration.

The Pylon is neutral and therefore can recharge enemy shields and shoot down your squad's ordnance if they enter its 25 meter radius
The Pylon can recharge up to 250 shields, shared between all legends.
Ordnance is zapped when the Pylon detects that it would hit any surface within the 25 meter radius and line of sight of the Pylon.
Perimeter Security charges have 3-second cooldowns instead of 15 when near an Interception Pylon, made by either you or another Wattson.
