Overwatch 2: Mythical Aspects Explained

Overwatch 2 it's a live game, meaning new additions are constantly being added with each competitive season. These changes range from Battle Pass themes, hero skins, limited-time game modes, crossover events and collaborations, new mechanics, mythic skins and weapons, and of course, a host of seasonal collectibles.

Apart from the fun of simply playing the game, Overwatch players also like to collect hero skins and profile cosmetics featuring the main or most favored characters. From Twitch drops and battle passes or shopping pieces to rarer and more special variants like Mythic Skins, OWL skins and Champions skins, there are plenty of cosmetics that players can purchase and enjoy showing up in the game. Starting with Overwatch 2 Season 13, a new collectible called Mythical aspects was introduced. If you're wondering exactly what these collectibles are and how they can be obtained, you can find all the relevant information in the guide below.

What are mythic aspects in Overwatch 2?

In Overwatch 2Mythic Skins are a new form of collectible that can be found inside the Mythic Shop. Essentially, the mythic aspects are additional customization options which can be purchased for mythic skins you own, allowing for bonus levels that can be unlocked with Mythical prisms after you have already unlocked all previous levels of the same skin.

The first set of mythic skins seen in the game since the start of season 13 is the Gilded style, which has also been referred to as Golden aspects. This provides an additional black and gold color palette option for each of the current and previous mythic hero skins, including Spellbinder Widowmaker.

Mythic Prisms can be purchased by opening the Mythic Shop and scrolling down to the Skins section of the store page, which will have all available options ready for preview and purchase by simply clicking on the tab for the hero you wish to purchase it for. Each mythic skin (golden) can be purchased for 10 mythic prisms each (which gives players another option to spend the Mythic Prisms they earn through the Premium Battle Pass) or purchase in the Overwatch Store with real-world currency.

What are mythical prisms used for?

With the addition of the Mythic Skins collectible, there are now three different ways players can choose to spend their Mythical Prisms:

1. Unlocking Tiers of Mythic hero skins that are available in the Mythic Store
2. Buying mythic weapons and Mythic Weapon Levels to unlock features like inspect and kill animations
3. Additional Mythical skin styles by Aspects

For now, the Gilded style is the only mythic skin available in Overwatch 2. However, it looks like more styles will be added as more competitive seasons continue to be released into the game.
