D.Va is a Tank hero in Overwatch.

Summary

D.Va’s mech is nimble and powerful — its twin Fusion Cannons blast away with autofire at short range, and she can use its Boosters to barrel over enemies and obstacles, or deflect attacks with her projectile-dismantling Defense Matrix.

Abilities

Ability Icon Description
Fusion Cannons Ability-dva1 D.Va's mech is equipped with twin short-range rotating cannons. They lay down continuous, high-damage fire without needing to reload, but slow D.Va’s movement while they’re active.
Boosters Ability-dva2 D.Va’s mech launches into the air, her momentum carrying her forward. She can turn and change directions or barrel through her enemies, knocking them back.
Defense Matrix Ability-dva3 D.Va can activate this forward-facing targeting array to shoot incoming projectiles out of the air.
Self-Destruct
(Ultimate ability)
Ability-dva4 D.Va ejects from her mech and sets its reactor to explode, dealing massive damage to nearby opponents.
Light Gun Ability-dva5 While outside of her mech, D.Va can continue the fight with a mid-range automatic blaster.
Call Mech
(Ultimate ability)
Ability-dva6 If her armored battle suit is destroyed, D.Va can call down a fresh mech and return to the fray.

Strategy

If you activate D.Va's Booster ability and move into an enemy player, you will deal damage in addition to knocking them back.

While D.Va is considered a Tank, a lot of successful D.Va players use her like a Reaper.

Ganking 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.

At mid- and high-level play, due to its long casting time and large radius, her ultimate is more useful for forcing the enemy to scatter rather than killing anyone.

Using Boosters before using Self-Destruct will allow D.Va to propel the mech forward before it explodes.

Story

Icon-dva

D.Va is a former professional gamer who now uses her skills to pilot a state-of-the-art mech in defense of her homeland.[2]

Background

Hana "D.Va" Song was once a pro-gamer.[3] She became a professional StarCraft player, who participated in the WCS Korea Code S League. At the age of 16, Song became the #1 ranked player in the world and proceeded to go undefeated for the next three years in all competitions. She became an international star, beloved by her fans at home and abroad, and toured in exhibitions around the world.[4] A fierce competitor, Song played to win at any cost, and gained a well-earned reputation for showing no mercy to her opponents.

Song pilots her mech

At home, however, not all was well, as MEKA struggled to maintain its defense against the omnic that repeatedly attacked the nation. As the omnic continued to adapt, it eventually disrupted MEKA's drone-control networks, forcing the military to place pilots in the mechs. Scrambling to find suitable candidates, the government turned to the country's professional gamers, who possessed the necessary reflexes and instincts to operate the mechs' advanced weapons systems. Top stars were drafted, including Song. Seeing her new mission as a game, Song now fearlessly charges into battle alongside the rest of her MEKA unit, ready to spring to her nation's defense at a moment's notice. Recently, she has begun to stream combat operations to her adoring fans, and her growing following has turned her into a global icon.[2]
