D.Va is one of the few dive tanks offered in the game, and she is quite popular among players for all the right reasons. Possessing some of the most unique pieces of utility in her kit, D.Va aboslutely excels at her job as a tank especially when used right.

As stated above, she is a dive-centered tank, and finding value with her is absolutely reliant on the player using her. She doesn't fulfill the traditional tank role on account of how her kit functions. She possesses extremely high mobility, an ability that can nullify enemy projectiles and bullets, and the combination of her primary and secondary fire can easily shred low-HP heroes.

Overwatch 2 guide: Ana and 4 other heroes to pair with D.Va

D.Va is among the most popular heroes in Overwatch 2, and players can't be blamed for picking her often. While she might seem quite easy to use on the surface, it's not quite the case. This beefy tank requires players to properly strategize and make use of her kit. When it comes to raw power, other tanks can easily overpower her. That's where you need to figure out how you will disrupt enemy gameplay, and ensure success for your team.

1) Mei

Mei is one of the least popular damage heroes in Overwatch 2, given how her kit specializes more in supporting her team. However, some of you forget the fact that her abilities can prove useful in team fight situations. Her Ice Wall and Blizzard are two of the best skills to use when engaging in battle. Ice Wall basically traps enemies, while the ultimate Blizzard freezes everyone.

D.Va's ultimate ability, Self-Destruct, is a one-hit delete explosive skill that enemies can only avoid if they move far away. Combining Self-Destruct with Mei's Blizzard is the best way to secure eliminations.

Mei's Ice Wall can also be an alternative way to trap enemies in a corner. D.Va can just throw her mech suit inside the trap.

2) Ana

Ana is one of the most lethal support heroes in Overwatch 2. Her Biotic Rifle can heal her allies from long distances while also having the ability to deal damage to her enemies from afar.

However, the ability that's truly a perfect match for D.Va is Ana's Nano Boost. The ultimate ability increases an ally's damage while reducing the damage taken.

Considering how D.Va's Fusion Canons have infinite ammo, they don't deal heavy damage to her foes. However, if Ana uses her Nano boost on the mech pilot, D.Va will become a more formidable tank for a short period of time. Her Fusion Canons will deal more damage while making her an even tankier frontliner.

3) Pharah

Pharah is one of the trickiest heroes to use or go up against in Overwatch 2. Taking her on is like battling a bird since she tends to fight from the skies.

However, Pharah is a reliable ally, especially when synergizing with D.Va. One of the abilities in her kit is Concussive Blast, which knocks back enemies via an explosive blast. Timing will be key when using Concussive Blast to combo with D.Va's Self-Destruct.

As we mentioned a while ago, enemies have a few seconds to run away from D.Va's explosive mech suit. This is where Pharah's knock-back skill comes into play. As their foes try to escape their inevitable death, you can use Concussive Blast to send them back within the radius of the mech suit's explosion.

4) Sombra

Sombra is easily the sneakiest hero in Overwatch 2. She can become invisible while disabling her foes' abilities from the shadows.

With that in mind, Sombra is a great initiator in team fights. Her ultimate ability, EMP, deals damage to enemies within the radius while disabling their abilities in the process.

Disabling the enemy team's abilities means they have no chance of making an easy escape. This makes it the perfect opportunity for D.Va to drop her self-destructing mech suit.

5) Symmetra

Symmetra is a trap specialist in Overwatch 2, thanks to her Sentry Turrets. However, her most useful ability for team play is the Teleporter.

Symmetra can set up two teleporters that allow her team to travel from point A to point B. However, did you know that she's also capable of sending D.Va's explosive mech suit toward the enemy team?

We're pretty sure that OG Overwatch players are aware of this combo and have abused it on many occasions already. Luckily, Blizzard Entertainment kept this combo, and it is still useable in Overwatch 2.
