One of the most unique and versatile characters in Overwatch 2 is Ana. She is a support hero with great healing abilities and is also capable of dealing damage to enemies.

All Overwatch 2 Characters List

Introduction to Ana in Overwatch 2

Ana is a support hero in Overwatch 2 that specializes in healing her allies from a distance. She is a former sniper for the Egyptian army and uses her expertise to heal her allies and take down enemies from afar. Her primary weapon is a Biotic Rifle that can be used to heal allies or deal damage to enemies. When using the Biotic Rifle to heal allies, it is important to aim at their body to ensure that the shot lands. Same with enemies, because you can’t score headshots (deal critical damage) with her rifle.

Ana’s Abilities and How to Use Them

Ana’s abilities include Biotic Rifle, Sleep Dart, Biotic Grenade, and Nano Boost.

The Sleep Dart is a powerful tool that can be used to temporarily put enemies to sleep. This ability is particularly useful when dealing with enemies that are difficult to take down, such as tanks or mobile heroes like Tracer. To use the Sleep Dart effectively, make sure they are not moving around too much or use it from behind to guarantee you hit them.

The Biotic Grenade is an area-of-effect ability that can be used to heal allies and damage enemies. When using the Biotic Grenade to heal allies, make sure they are in the area of effect to receive the healing boost. When using the Biotic Grenade to damage enemies, aim for the ground near them to ensure they take maximum damage and most important to block healing on them.

Nano Boost is Ana’s ultimate ability, which can be used to boost an ally’s damage output and reduce damage taken for a short period. When using Nano Boost, it is important to choose the right ally to boost, such as a damage dealer like Genji or Soldier: 76.

Ana Combos

One of the most effective Ana combos is the Sleep Dart combo. This combo involves using the Sleep Dart to put an enemy to sleep and then using the Biotic Grenade and Biotic Rifle to deal damage and finish them off. Another effective combo is using the Nano Boost on an ally and then using the Biotic Grenade and Biotic Rifle to deal massive damage to enemies.

Tips for Playing as Ana

When playing as Ana, it is important to stay behind cover and heal allies from a distance. Ana is a sniper, and her Biotic Rifle has a long-range, so it is important to take advantage of this. Another tip – use Biotic Grenade to help your team finish their target, nullifying healing from their supports. It is also important to communicate with your team and let them know where you are so they can come to you for healing. Additionally, it is important to prioritize healing your tanks, as they will be taking the most damage.

Ana Synergies

Ana has great synergy with heroes like Reinhardt, Winston, and Roadhog. These tanks can draw enemy fire and create space for Ana to heal from a safe distance. Ana also has great synergy with heroes like Genji and Soldier: 76, who can deal massive damage when boosted by Nano Boost.

Ana’s Counter Strategies

Ana’s biggest weakness is her lack of mobility. This makes her vulnerable to flankers like Winston, Tracer, Genji or Sombra, who can easily get behind her and take her out. To counter this, it is important to stay aware of your surroundings and use your Sleep Dart and Biotic Grenade to defend yourself.

How to Get Better at Playing as Ana

To get better at playing as Ana, it is important to practice your aim and positioning. Ana requires precise aiming, and it is important to take advantage of her long-range to stay safe while healing allies. Additionally, it is important to communicate with your team and let them know when you need help or when you are about to use your ultimate.

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Playing as Ana

One of the most common mistakes players make when playing as Ana is using their abilities at the wrong time. It is important to save abilities like Sleep Dart and Biotic Grenade for when they are needed most. Another common mistake is not being aware of your surroundings, leaving you vulnerable to flankers.

Conclusion

Ana is a unique and versatile hero in Overwatch 2, and she can be a valuable asset to any team. By following these tips and strategies, you can become a better Ana player and help your team win.
