She will have nine skins in total at debut, three of which are legendary skins: Daybreak, Sundown, and Llamas Pajamas.

Illari’s abilities are yet to be announced officially, but content creator Stevo humorously mentioned a healing turret as part of her kit.
Moreover, another Overwatch content creator named Akash, who allegedly had early access to the hero, shared information about Illari’s abilities.
The leaked information suggests that OW2 Illari will have a destroy able healing turret, similar to Baptiste’s jump, which can knock enemies back. Additionally, Illari is rumored to have a hitscan-like rays that can either deal damage or heal, depending on the target. Her ultimate ability is said to be similar to Raze’s from VALORANT, featuring a single rocket that deals damage and applies a debuff to those hit.
Regarding Illari’s origins, speculation suggests that she may have Peruvian roots. The ‘Peru’ poster found on the Overwatch 2 Antarctic Peninsula map looks similar to the teaser image used in the Overwatch 2 Roadmap. Additionally, a previous Overwatch 2 Blog article mentions the Peruvian city of Arequipa.
Also, the Overwatch community has pointed that her name and the use of the Quechua language in her rare skin names hints at her being from Peru.
