The same can be said for support. Lucio, Moira, and Kiriko can keep up with you just fine. Though Ana can't follow, she can help you from afar, and her Nano will work beautifully with you. A good Mercy can also keep up as long as she can see you, and her damage boost can help you recover your mech a lot faster in case you lose
Defense Matrix is D.Va's main ability, and how she will keep her team alive. For the best results, activate Defense Matrix in quick one-second bursts . In this way, you will eat up a few projectiles, then take hits to your armor first , which has inate damage reduction . Let your support allies restore your health, then activate Defense Matrix again to mitigate more of the enemy's projecti
However, Self-Destruct has a secondary use, which is as a zoning ability . If you Self-Destruct in a crowded area, the enemies will run for the nearest wall or barrier to avoid the explosion . You can use this to your advantage, to force enemies into inopportune positions for your teammates to attack more eas
For example, dropping a Self-Destruct on the center of a control point will cause all enemies to run to the nearest wall. This then gives an ally Junkrat to use Riptire on that location, where the enemy is already focusing on avoiding Self-Destr

Originally added during Summer Games 2021, Poolside is Ashe's absolutely necessary swimsuit skin. This skin completely changes Ashe's outfit, making her fit for a vacation at the beach. She trades her rifle for a water gun, boots for sandals, dons her pool floaties, and even dyes her hair p
Because of D.Va's large health pool, almost half of which is armor , a lot of your mitigation comes from just being attacked normally . This will put a bit more of a strain on your healers, so you'll need to use the offensive side of your kit to help them out by applying pressure to attackers and displacing enemies with Boost
For example, the support hero Lifeweaver can counter a few characters such as Roadhog, who will hook a friendly hero into the enemy team, normally leading to death, but with Lifeweaver's Life Grip the Roadhog hook becomes a lot less effective, making Lifeweaver a small counter to Road
Funny enough, snipers will have a good time with your flanking as well. Piledriver (the slam attack) sends all enemies into the air in a rather predictable pattern. That makes headshots quite easy to perform. Hanzo, Widowmaker, and Ashe can use that a lot in their fa
If you use Self-Destruct while Boosters is active , the exploding mech will maintain its momentum , allowing you to launch it into the battle from far away . Using this trick, you can surprise enemies with a bomb where they aren't expecting it , or in a place where they don't have time to run for co
After taking lethal damage in her Mech, D.Va will instead eject, entering Pilot form. While in Pilot form, her basic attack will become Light Gun, and her Ultimate will become Call Mech, allowing her to re-summon her mech after her Ultimate is charged.
D.Va has 650 base health , divided into 350 health and 300 armor, and has 150 health while in Pilot form. As a Tank Hero, D.Va also gains access to the Tank role passive , reducing the effectiveness of knockbacks on her, and reducing the amount of Ultimate charge gained when damaging or healing h
If Lifeweaver takes the high ground using his Petal Platform , then Doomfist can just fling himself into the sky with his Seismic Slam and land on the platform , with a possible punch as a follow-up, sending Lifeweaver soaring across the
Compared to Mobster, this skin is a bit more cohesive; its color palette offers a more complete look through the contrast of the dark grey pinstripes and pink top. Still, there are better skins out there, as you will see be
When it comes to DPS, almost any character that tags along Reinhardt will be a good combo. Characters with a quick fire rate, such as Soldier 76, Sojourn, Junkrat, and similar will be helpful. Flankers would perform better by not staying with him though; a Reaper or a Sombra could help, but they'd be better off doing their own thing. All that said, the game was changed to be more aggressive, so it's important that your goal is to advance and attack instead of just being a glorifying wall for your friends. Protecting sentries and turrets with your shield will also make them excel m
In an ordinary fight, two supports are unlikely going to fight one another in a one-on-one situation, but there are some support heroes that can aid the rest of the team to make Lifeweaver feel a lot more redunda
With only one defensive ability, D.Va's role as a Tank may not be as obvious as others. However, she is a very strong and rewarding character to play. Let's take a look at each of D.Va's abilities, her strengths and weaknesses, and some tips for doing well with
The Queen of Junkertown is quite deadly and mobile. Though you could make her faster with Lucio and Kiriko, that isn't such a necessity. Still, she's pretty good for a straight-up assault, so characters who can follow and take some pain before needing to recover will balance out very well. Soldier, for instance, who can go with her and heal both if necessary, even though he's not a supporting character. Characters who excel at close range will all benefit from her since they'll receive her passive as w
