Tips for playing D.Va

D.Va is known for her aggression among tank characters in the game. The ability to fly is a valuable resource for any team, enabling her to quickly approach and attack enemies from behind.

Being an experienced gamer, I’ve learned that when an enemy’s health is low, it’s the perfect opportunity to unleash my blasters and take them down as quickly as possible. However, there are moments in the heat of battle where things don’t go according to plan and I find myself in a tight spot. In such situations, I rely on my Defense Matrix to shield me from incoming attacks and give me the breathing room I need to regroup and strategize. Trust me, the difference between life and death in this game can be a well-timed use of the Defense Matrix.

An intriguing fact about D.Va is that she has the ability to shove adversaries over the edge with the force of her blaster’s charge. Consequently, she excels at splitting up enemy groups when employed strategically.

As a gamer, I recommend conserving your missile supply. When encountering an enemy from a reasonable distance in the air, approach stealthily and surprise them with a well-timed missile strike.

In the heat of the battle, I recommend using the Fusion Cannons just like your usual strategy when trying to take down weaker opponents. This will increase your chances of securing a victory.

To effectively use D.Va’s ultimate skill, Self-Destruct, try to target a group of enemies and tilt the mech 45 degrees before detonating it, ensuring maximum damage. Once you’ve identified a suitable location, press ahead and then trigger the ability.

During this procedure, you’ll revert back to D.Va’s human form, so please exercise caution. Following the detonation of her mech, which ideally eliminates two to five enemies simultaneously, a new mech can be summoned immediately. Her wealthiness of her family is suggested by this ability.
