Overwatch 2 D.va

D.va gave up her life as a professional gamer to put her skills to use piloting her mech to keep her country safe. Her Boosters give her a massive advantage with mobility, and her Defense Matrix takes any incoming projectiles completely out of the equation.

Overwatch 2 D.va Tips

Be mindful not to use your Boosters to fly too far into the enemy backline before the end of the boost duration. Press Boosters a second time while the ability is active to cancel the effect.
Using boosters to knock supports out of position is a great way to neutralize the enemy support line without diving in too deep.
Save your Defense Matrix not just for enemy projectiles but use it to absorb powerful enemy abilities such as grenades. Some enemy Ultimates can even be “eaten” with Defense Matrix, such as Mei’s Blizzard or Zarya’s Graviton Surge if timed correctly.
