We tell you which are the best Heroes of the Overwatch 2 Damage class, and why they are at the top of their category. Full list and details.
Best Characters and Heroes of Overwatch 2: Damage and DPS
Overwatch 2 puts at our disposal more than thirty different characters or Heroes , divided into three different classes. In this Overwatch 2 guide we are going to focus on Damage and DPS . What are the best DPS in Overwatch 2? Read on to find out:
1: Genji
Genji
Genji is the best DPS Hero in Overwatch 2 . His mobility and damage dealing still make him extremely dangerous. Also, the fact that certain Heroes that were typically countering him like Cassidy have lost the ability to stun him makes him even more dangerous.
With Genji you have to take advantage of his high mobility to sneak through any corner that the map allows, penetrate the enemy defenses and liquidate weak Heroes of the rival team. Being a nuisance, in general. Yes, he’s still low on health, but his Ultimate Dragon Blade makes him even more lethal , and slicing through it is a real pain when he has such high agility.
2: Sombra
Sombra
Sombra is one of the best DPS Heroes in Overwatch 2 due to his great ability to deal damage to enemies . That 40% bonus damage to targets that have been hacked makes her a force to be reckoned with. It does not end there; Being able to see enemies through walls also allows him to both effectively finish off dying enemies that retreat and coordinate precise attacks with the rest of the team.
With the changes since its release, Sombra focuses less on harassing enemies with indirect hacks and more on dealing damage and finishing them directly . Plus, she paired with Kiriko, one of Overwatch 2’s new Heroes, they’re a deadly couple. Her ease in penetrating enemy defenses coupled with support from Kiriko can help us win games.
3: Soldier: 76
Soldier: 76
Soldier: 76 remains one of the best DPS in Overwatch 2 for several reasons: his fairly reliable set of abilities, good damage output, and good mobility and versatility.
The Heavy Pulse Rifle deals moderate damage at medium ranges and can be effective even at long ranges if you have good aim and fire short controlled bursts. His sprint allows him to get where he’s needed sooner than most other Heroes , plus his Biotic Field makes him a pretty decent DPS/Support/healer hybrid . His Ultimate, the mythical Tactical Visor allows him to take care of especially mobile and annoying Heroes like Genji with ease.
4: Sojourn
Sojourn
Sojourn is a new character introduced in Season 1 of Overwatch 2, and she has already established herself as one of the best DPS out there . The reason for this is his main weapon gimmick , the Railgun; the primary shot generates energy when hitting enemies, and the secondary allows us to release all that accumulated energy in a single high-power shot that can do 130 damage per shot.
She is also versatile as her two Skills focus on movement either gaining it herself or preventing enemies from doing so: Evasive Maneuver is a glide across the ground that can culminate in a huge jump, and Immobilizing Shot launches a burst of energy that traps and deals damage to enemies it hits. To round out her set, her Ultimate, ÜberCharge, makes her Railgun auto-charge for a short period of time, plus the shots go through enemies.
5: Tracer
Tracer
The “pet” of the Overwatch saga is still one of the best DPS in Overwatch 2 . Tracer’s main role is still to make the enemy team dizzy and ultimately give them a lot of slack . For this he relies on his Translation and Regression Skills From him; the first of them allows us to teleport a short distance in the direction in which we are looking, and the second makes us travel back in time, with the secondary effect of “healing” us by “removing” the recent damage we have received.
Tracer is a glass cannon-type character ; His main weapons, the Pulse Pistols, are dual pistols that deal a high amount of damage but empty quickly. His main weak point is his low health, so we have to be constantly moving and teleporting to play effectively. His Ultimate, the Pulse Bomb, is a sticky explosive that isn’t particularly good or the most attractive thing in his arsenal, so we can’t rely on it, although it can get us out of a jam sometimes.
