D.va Tips

  • Don’t be afraid to rush a Reinhardt that is holding your team back with his Barrier Field
  • Remember that Defense Matrix only negates damage from projectiles. Any damage that is channeled (such as Zarya’s Particle Cannon or Symetra’s Photon Projector) can’t be blocked
  • Combine D.va’s Self Destruct with her Boosters for maximum effect
  • When you lose D.va’s mech, get out of close range and try to shoot from a distance. If you are being fired at then run from side to side while shooting back to make D.va harder to hit
  • When you lose your mech, never run and hide to wait for your mech to be ready again. Doing so will keep you out of the action for too long and your team will suffer. Hitting targets with the Light Gun will build your mech-meter faster
  • An enemy Mercy can undo your Self-Destruct kills with her Resurrection. So when possible, try to reserve your Self-Destruct until right after she uses Resurrection.
