D.Va Counter

Summary & Playstyle

D.Va is a versatile tank with strong mobility and burst potential. Thanks to her high health pool and Boosters, she can quickly engage or disengage fights, making her highly effective at diving into the backline. At close range, her Fusion Cannons provide consistent damage, while Micro Missiles add strong burst pressure that can shred through enemies. Her Defense Matrix is invaluable for blocking incoming projectiles, neutralizing key abilities, and shielding teammates from critical damage. Her ultimate, Self-Destruct, can instantly turn the tide of a fight, punishing poorly positioned enemies with a devastating explosion. However, unlike barrier tanks such as Reinhardt or Sigma, D.Va lacks sustained team protection. Her Fusion Cannons also slow her movement while firing, which can make her vulnerable if she fails to secure a quick elimination. Additionally, her effectiveness drops at longer ranges, as both her Fusion Cannons and Micro Missiles lose impact beyond medium distance. Overall, D.Va excels as a disruptive, high-pressure tank who thrives in mobility-based strategies and coordinated dives, but she struggles against teams that can maintain distance and control her space.
