5 best heroes to duo with Ana in Overwatch 2 

Ana in Overwatch 2 Season 15 remains one of the most popular, if not, the most popular support hero in the game. She has been considered one of the best in her role on account of her extremely versatile kit, and the amount of utility she offers to the team on the field. Ana is considered the game's resident healer, however, if you've only been healing as Ana, you're definitely not playing it right.

Ana, a sniper in her previous life, is much more than just a healbot in the game. Her abilities provide her the power to deal anti-heal to enemy players, incapacitate using her sleep dart, and of course, her Biotic Rifle by itself can deal 75HP damage per shot. That makes her a tremendous asset to any team. She fits into most comps in the game, however, if the enemy players are diving, you need to have a set of heroes to help protect her from them.

This article will provide you with a list of the the 5 best heroes to duo with Ana in Overwatch 2. All of these heroes synergize extremely well with the resident support hero, and you will find their ability-combinations to be extremely powerful as well. Read below to know more.

Here are some great heroes that pair well with Ana's kit in Overwatch 2

5) Kiriko

The brand new Support introduced in Overwatch 2, Kiriko, is a versatile unit despite being an off-hand healer. Her main mode of movement is a teleport ability, allowing her to get to an ally instantly.

This is useful for fellow sniper Support in a pinch. Her Suzu orb is also key in cleansing negative effects (such as from opponent Anas) and bypassing opponents' attacks and even Ultimates if timed correctly.

4) Genji

A solid DPS pick in Overwatch 2, Genji is a good balance of speed and damage. Primarily a flanker for harassing opponents and even parrying attacks, Ana's long-range healing can sustain him when away from the rest of the team.

Genji's Dragonblade Ultimate also pairs extremely well with Ana's Nano. His Ultimate allows him to use his sword to rack up kills due to high damage, and his Swift Strike resets allow him to dash around to get to opponents faster.

Throw in Nano's perks, and both his attack and survivability receive a notable jump in effectiveness, ensuring he can finish off foes without hesitation.

3) Reaper

Reaper is one of the most dangerous DPS heroes in Overwatch 2. He only possesses dual shotguns, but they do lethal damage at point-blank range. His teleportation abilities can also be important to getting around, including fending off flankers trying to kill your support.

In turn, Ana can heal him from a distance. This comes on top of his shotgun healing per damage done. When Nanoed, Reaper can become a powerful force to be reckoned with and wipe out entire teams.

2) Reinhardt

One of the strongest Tanks in Overwatch 2, Reinhardt is a vastly different beast from most other heroes. Instead of a gun, he wields a massive hammer for offense and a large energy shield for defense.

This makes him an ideal target for pressure from multiple foes, so Ana's ranged healing is handy here. In scenarios where Ana cannot maintain distance, Reinhardt's shield should provide enough cover to avoid incoming attacks while healing him.

1) Pharah

At the top spot is Ana's daughter Pharah. One of the only three heroes in Overwatch 2 capable of flying, she can be a menace if played right. She comes equipped with a rocket launcher whose projectiles explode on impact.

Since Ana's healing projectiles become hitscan when scoped, she is the best Support unit to pick for healing flying heroes. That goes without even mentioning Pharah's further power boost when Nanoed.

This list is absolutely not exhaustive, and you should definitely experiment by pairing Illari with heroes in the game. Overwatch 2 rewards players for creatively executing unique hero synergies and team-play, and with a roster featuring over 40 heroes, the sky's the limit when it comes to trying out hero combos. As more and more heroes join the title, the possibility of expanding this list only grows bigger.
