D.Va's Strengths & Weaknesses
Strengths
Positioning with Boosters
D.Va's Boosters
is highly maneuverable and has a very short cooldown, so she can easily take high ground and fight while making frequent, fine adjustments to her position.Nullifying powerful abilities with
D.Va can nullify enemy ultimates and other abilities with DM
.Charging in with all abilities.
By using Micro Missiles
, D.Va can deal considerable burst damage at close range. Since she can also use DM while doing Micro Missiles, diving supports who lack mobility, such as Ana or Zenyatta, lets her apply heavy pressure at low risk.
How to Counter
Delay-kill Baby D.Va.
Once D.Va's mech is destroyed, it takes time before she can get back into a mech. Baby D.Va without a mech is very weak, so when you have the opportunity, going for a delay-kill can buy a lot of time.
Fight with a composition that D.Va's dive struggles to get a pick from.
D.Va's dive while deploying Micro Missiles
or DM can easily get a pick on heroes with no mobility, such as Ana or Zenyatta. In general, when the enemy has a D.Va, you need to either avoid using such heroes or fight with a composition that can protect them.Use a hero with attacks that can pierce DM
.Melee attacks, beam-type attacks, and some hero abilities pierce DM
, making them effective.Aim to make DM
run out of charge.DM
has a deploy time of 3 seconds, but takes 6 seconds to reach full charge, so if the enemy D.Va is overusing DM, continuing to shoot her makes it easy to gain an advantage when DM runs out of charge.
