You need to prioritize protecting the team from flankers and snipers, potentially by rushing them down at close range. Snipers are your first target since they are vulnerable at close range followed by other damage dealers depending on the situation and their position. Micro Missiles: When activated, D.Va's mech will launch a volley of missiles after a short cast time. The missiles will travel in a straight line and hit the first solid target. The ability can be activated in all actions and can't be stopped until D.Va is stunned or the mech is destroyed. The missiles can damage the D.Va who fired them. The stylization of her name is reminiscent of Korean pop idols, who often adopt pseudonyms to stand out. In the Korean version of the game, D.Va's name is the only name not in Hangul, reflective of the romanization of these idols' names. This makes sense considering D.Va is a Korean idol through her fame as a pro-gamer. D.Va's high damage in her mech is useful against Tanks. Due to their large size and slow speed, the burst damage of Micro Missiles and Fusion Cannons can chew through a lot of health. If some hero rushes into a group of enemies, use Defense Matrix to cover your allies when needed. For example, cover Winston when he jumps in or cover Pharah when she is using her ultimate. You can protect your teammates with Defense Matrix without needing to be right next to them thanks to its long range. Keep its short duration in mind; try not to spend all of its charge and leaving yourself as the enemy's main target.

Defense Matrix can only negate Doomfists primary fire, and his consistent stunning moves can make escaping him excessively difficult. Choosing to fight him head-on alone will also end badly, as his ability to generate overhealth means he'll always be able to outlast you until your mech is destroyed, at which point you're as good as gone. Keep your distance, and only engage when you have teammates to help you. Hana is a fan of Lúcio's music, and has apparently bought his album. He in turn also knows enough of the pro-gaming scene to be a fan of hers. Latest 'Overwatch' Controversy Gives New Meaning To The Phrase Police Drama. Forbes, accessed on 2022-11-29 When a friendly Lifeweaver uses Tree of Life, use it as cover so you can recharge your Defense Matrix. Fighting near it can also allow you to last longer in long close-range fights, which are your specialty.

Fusion Cannons have 11 bullets per shot and large spreading; position yourself to the closest of the targets so that they won't be able to escape from you while firing. You excel at taking down snipers, and Ashe is no exception. Defense Matrix can negate most of Ashe's abilities; if you fly towards Ashe point blank while she's isolated, you can take her out and retreat before her teammates show up to avenge her.

D.Va is a unique tank with some mobility. With very high health and Boosters, she can close a gap to the enemy with ease. She has high damage output at close-range, making her a strong fighter in a 1-on-1 match. Her Defense Matrix is useful against all incoming projectiles regardless of DPS, protecting her teammates from enemy fire. The Micro Missiles deal high amount of damage when used in close range. She is a dangerous flanker in the Tank class, dealing consistent damage to the enemy. Self-Destruct will wipe all opponents within the blast area. However, she doesn't have an extended barrier to properly protect her team like Reinhardt. She is also slow while firing, allowing the enemy to outrun her to disengage or move around her to distract her aiming. Both Fusion Cannons and Micro Missiles are ineffective against anything further than medium-range, meaning she can be outranged by the enemy before she even has a chance to close a gap with Boosters. Ana is both a Support hero and a sniper, making her one of your highest-priority targets. With Defense Matrix, you can negate her Biotic Grenade, Sleep Dart and Biotic Rifle shots. Once her abilities are on cooldown, the fight is yours. Just keep in mind that if Ana aims her grenade at the ground and not you, you'll take damage from the grenade's splash. Also be careful not to be caught off guard, as her Sleep Dart is capable of hitting D.Va's sizeable hitbox, taking her out of the fight for a potentially significant amount of time. Symmetra can create a teleporter through which D.Va can send her mech during Self-Destruct. When done right, this can catch an enemy team completely off guard and potentially wipe them out.As time went on, the cost of defending South Korea from the Gwishin began to take its toll on Song. In one battle in Busan during a thunder storm, the squad barely managed to defeat the omnics, but the other mechs were put out of commision due to serious damage and their pilots sustained some injuries; only Song came out of it relatively unscathed. While the rest of the squad went on leave and the media reporting that Song was celebrating the victory by schmoozing with celebrities, Song had actually chosen to remain on active duty and spent time over the next week fixing and fine-tuning her mech alongside Dae-hyun, who had also joined MEKA as her assigned mechanic. As she stated that the squad and the rest of Busan were counting on her to keep the city safe, and any mistakes on her part could cost them everything, Dae-hyun recognized the emotional weight Song was carrying. He tried to convince her that she needed a break and that it was okay to ask for help, not needing to bear it alone, but she assured him that she had things under control. The way her name has a prefix "D." is reminiscent of the way esports players have an abbreviated team tag before their names. This is supported by how she and D.Mon played on the same team. Using Boosters in combination with Fusion Cannons can guarantee a kill on injured enemies who are trying to retreat. D.Va's given name Hana (하나) is the same as the Korean number 1. This parallels her personality, as she is a world champion and self-proclaimed "Number One."

Defense Matrix is especially strong against most damage dealers. It can even negate a dangerous bullet from Cassidy's Deadeye or even Pharah's Barrage. When out of the suit, D.Va's primary goal is to score as many headshots as possible, as fast as possible, to call her next mech. You may want to target a distant, large enemy such as Roadhog or an enemy D.Va to regain your ultimate charge. While D.Va is considered a Tank, a lot of successful D.Va players use her like Reaper. Flanking and harassing are some of D.Va's strong suits. Her high damage output at close range coupled with her Boosters movement ability makes it easy for her to get "shotgun-like" damage in and escape with ease. D.Va's suit has sponsors all over it, which is a reference to the same advertising style of sponsors in Korean esports. D.Va is the fifth playable Overwatch character in Heroes of the Storm, [18] and is a purchasable announcer, along with Genji.D.Va's Police Officer skin was released in 2017, leading a number of players to vow to never play D.Va, linking the skin with police brutality. [21] With a friendly Sigma on your team, you'll have an incredibly easy time negating incoming projectiles and covering each other's bases. That being said, you'll have a much greater difficulty against beam weapons such as those of Zarya and Symmetra. Try to do your fair share of absorbing projectiles and don't put the burden of protection on your friendly Sigma; if his Experimental Barrier goes down, both he and your team will be far more fragile. D.Va and other Overwatch members arrived in Toronto when the city was invaded by Null Sector. [16] Achievements Name
