5 best Overwatch 2 heroes to pair with Ramattra

The relentless leader of the Null Sector, Ramattra, has been part of Overwatch 2's roster for the better part of a year now. This unique tempo-based Tank has found his foothold in the game, and can ideally be understood as a Hero who excels at brawling in close-quarters against other heroes.

His abilities are extremely unique and provide fantastic utility when used right. Ramattra's kit provides him with the ability to pierce through shields in his Nemesis form, which by itself, seems quite overpowered in the right circumstances. It makes him a direct counter to shield-bearing heroes like Sigma, Reinhardt, and even Brigitte.

That said, this article will provide you with a detailed brief on the 5 best Overwatch 2 heroes to pair with Ramattra. To know more, read below.

Ana and 4 other amazing heroes to use alongside Ramattra in Overwatch 2

Ramattra, in his Omnic Form, is equipped with the Void Accelerator, a staff-like weapon that he uses to protect his team. He also gets access to the Void Barrier exclusively in Omnic Form, using which he can create a 1000 HP barrier at a targeted location that holds up for four seconds.

Ramattra's Nemesis Form transforms him into a formidable force. Upon activation, he instantly gains a chunk of armor in addition to his health, making him more durable. His primary fire transforms into a melee attack that punches forward and generates waves of energy, dealing high damage to enemies. Additionally, his alternate fire in Nemesis Form allows him to block incoming projectiles, reducing damage by 75%, although he moves at a slower pace with a 50% movement penalty.

Ravenous Vortex, available in both forms, is a projectile thrown at the ground that can spread a damaging field. Anyone caught in it is instantly slowed down and grounded if flying.

Ramattra's ultimate ability, Annihilation, is one of the most feared abilities in Overwatch 2. When activated, Ramattra transforms into his Nemesis Form and emits an aura of energy that damages enemies within a certain radius and drains their health. What makes it even more terrifying is that if Ramattra activates Annihilation while he is already in Nemesis Form, he regains the armor bonus from entering Nemesis Form, making him even harder to take down.

Here are five heroes that complement this powerhouse of a Tank in Overwatch 2.

1) Ana

Ana is one of the founding members of the Overwatch team and is one of the best heroes that you can pair with Ramattra in the game. Her primary weapon is a Biotic Sniper Rifle which can deal 75 HP damage against foes, and simultaneously heal her teammates for the same amount. With the ability to scope in, Ana is best played by being positioned far away from the main zones of battle.

Her secondary abilities include a Sleep Dart and a Biotic Grenade. Sleep Dart can be used to render enemies unconscious. You can either use it to knock flankers out cold or assist Ramattra by dazing the Tank that is up against him. You can pair this ability with the Biotic Grenade, which will inflict anti-heal on any enemies affected by it. A combination of these abilities and Ramattra's sheer power can easily eliminate enemies.

Lastly, Nano Boost can be used on Ramattra to provide him with 50% additional damage, and 50% damage reduction. It can be paired with his ultimate, Annihilation to absolutely wreak havoc on the enemy team.

2) Lucio

Lucio is one of the most versatile support heroes in Overwatch 2, providing not just healing but also speed buffs for his team.

His ability, Crossfade, creates a permanent AoE (Area of Effect) where allies are either gently being healed or receive a speed boost. His ultimate, Sound Barrier, temporarily grants him and his allies 750 Overhealing as temporary HP.

The duo excels at controlling the pace of the game since they can create a fearless frontline, bashing through enemy defenses effortlessly. Amp It Up with Speed Boost allows Ramattra to quickly switch to his Nemesis Form and easily decimate the enemy team.

3) Echo

Echo is another fantastic addition to Ramattra's team. She is a highly versatile hero, capable of shredding enemies into pieces without much effort. She has high mobility and is perfect for pairing with Ramattra because of it. Her high burst-damage kit, paired with her mobility, gives her immense power to put pressure on enemies from off-angles.

Furthermore, her ultimate ability, Duplicate, allows her to copy an enemy hero and transform into it for a temporary duration. Echo can choose the most powerful hero from the enemy roster and swap into them to wreak havoc on the battlefield alongside Ramattra.

4) Sojourn

Sojourn remains a strong hero in Overwatch 2, despite receiving consistent nerfs. She synergizes well with Ramattra, as her artillery-heavy kit allows her to deal massive damage. Ramattra's ability to create space allows Sojourn to take advantage of the enemy team's positioning and deal significant damage.

Additionally, both heroes have crowd control abilities, such as Disruptor Shot and Ravenous Vortex, that can slow down and eliminate enemies efficiently.

5) Kiriko

Much like Ramattra, Kiriko is another new hero added to the Support roster on Overwatch 2. When paired with Kiriko's ultimate, Kitsune Rush, Ramattra's Annihilation becomes even more devastating. Kiriko’s ultimate also synergizes well with his Nemesis Form.

Kiriko's Protection Suzu ability can save Ramattra from danger during his ultimate or when he overextends. The small window of invincibility provided by Protection Suzu allows Kiriko to quickly heal Ramattra.
