Former second in command of Overwatch, Ana Amari uses her skills and expertise to defend her home and the people she cares for.
Easy to use and reliable, Ana is one of the more beginner-friendly Support heroes. Shooting enemies with her rifle damages them while shooting at allies heals them. Simple point and shoot. Despite the simplicity, Ana can be an incredibly effective support as she can provide heals from afar. She can also immobilize pursuers with her Sleep Dart, leaving them vulnerable to well-placed attacks. One downside to her is that Ana has no escape skill and is not as mobile as other Support heroes in Overwatch 2.
A founding member of Overwatch and once renowned as the greatest sniper in the world, Ana Amari comes from a long line of decorated military veterans. Though she was thought to have perished in a firefight with Talon, Ana has rejoined the fray to protect her country, family, and closest allies.

With her Biotic Rifle, Ana can heal allies from afar. Simply targeting them and shooting heals them a good chunk of health, allowing them to survive longer. Maximize this ranged healing by going to vantage points or positions that can give you a good view of the battlefield. Also, beware of possible points of attacks as enemies are likely to come after you after seeing you healing friends from afar.
As Ana has no means to escape, she can be very vulnerable to mobile heroes. If you have ample distance between you and the fight, you can run away and ask for support whenever you spot an enemy hero running towards you. If you find yourself in close contact with the enemy, utilize the Sleep Dart to escape and immobilize your pursuer.
Nano Boost significantly increases the combat ability of an allied hero. Use it whenever you can and buff damage dealers or tanks. Note that you can use Nano Boost from afar and you don’t need to be directly beside the target to use it.
