Ana
Role: Support
Summary: Ana is a former army sniper who has recently come out of hiding and rejoined the battle in order to protect her loved ones; including her daughter Pharah. Her Biotic Rifle rounds and Biotic Grenades heal allies and damage or impair enemies; her sidearm tranquilizes targets, and Nano Boost gives one of her comrades a considerable increase in power.
Ana Tips
- Make note of which enemies are on the battlefield and try to save your Sleep Dart for the ones who’s Ults can be interrupted. Of course, you should also use your Sleep Dart if your life is in danger
- The Biotic Grenade doesn’t need to hit an enemy head on to impair them. Say for instance, a Reinhardt is approaching with his Barrier and he has his allies behind him, if there’s a wall or structure behind them you can throw the Biotic Grenade over Reinhardts shield onto the wall; this will cause the Biotic Grenade to splash an successfully impair your enemies
- You Biotic Grenade can be thrown pretty far. Take advantage of it by throwing the grenade from a distance into high traffic areas
- A non-scope shot from Ana’s Biotic Rifle has a slow trail before it hits your enemy. While firing with the scope your shots are hit-scan and don’t need to travel, but you’ll also lose peripheral vision. It’s important for a good Ana player to be able to quick-scope so that they can get the best of both worlds
- When playing as Ana, your allies have a large hitbox than your enemies. Therefore, it’s important to remember that you are a healer first and foremost
- Save your Nano Boost Ult for high damage dealers such as Soldier 76, Genji or Reaper. For maximum effect, Nano Boost them in conjunction with their own Ultimate abilities
