Each Hero title has six levels: The base level, Heroic, Epic, Legendary, Mythic, and Ultimate. So, for example, for Zenyatta you can get Monk, Epic Monk, Legendary Monk, and so on. Each title is unlocked with the more games and progression you make with that Hero.

Your progression is tracked through your performance with different abilities, the damage and/or healing you do, and how much damage you block if you play as Tank.

How to equip Name Cards and titles

  1. Open your career profile.
  2. Navigate to the ‘Customization‘ tab.
  3. Select Name Card, title, or Player Icon from the drop down menu on the left side of the screen.
  4. Choose the corresponding Card, title, or Icon.
  5. Select ‘Equip‘ at the bottom of the screen.

To make it easier for yourself, you can use the Filters drop down menu to only display the Icons, titles, and Cards you own. This way, you can check out what you already have immediately without scrolling down past all the ones you don’t have yet.

Overwatch 2 has more ways that you can customize your game, like changing your menu background. Otherwise, it’s important to know the best PC and controller settings so you can level your Heroes up quickly, especially when you’re about to dive into Competitive.
