Season 2 of Overwatch 2 is out! Bringing a fresh new map and a fresh new hero called Ramattra. The new hero falls in the Tank category and while many players are still trying to unlock it some are trying to master his abilities and the best way to play with this hero. This how to play Ramattra guide in Overwatch 2 will help all the players still struggling to figure this hero out.
Ramattra has been described as the first “tempo tank” by developers. This name accurately represents this hero due to the flow that players must keep track of when using Ramattra’s dual forms.
Ramattra’s Abilities
- Void Accelerator – Omnic Form. Fire a stream of projectiles in a fixed pattern.
- Void Barrier – Omnic Form. Create a barrier at the targeted location.
- Pummel – Nemesis Form. Punch forward, creating a wave of piercing energy with every swing.
- Ravenous Vortex – Fire a nano ball, which explodes when it hits the ground, spreading a damaging field. Affected enemies are slowed and pulled downward.
- Annihilation – Type: Ultimate. Enter Nemesis Form and create an energy swarm surrounding yourself. This swarm will lash out towards nearby enemies, dealing damage and pausing the duration when damage is dealt.
How to Unlock Ramattra?
The process of unlocking Ramattra is straightforward. There’s two ways of doing this. For the free-to-play players you will have to grind the battle pass to Tier 45, and you will have access to Ramattra. If you’re inpatient and you want this hero right away, you can purchase the battle pass Tiers with overwatch coins. It will cost 1000 Overwatch coins which is about 10 euros. This will grant you access to Ramattra right away.
What’s your role as Ramattra?
Ramattra being a tank means you need to be the anchor of the team. You will need to play the objective but also be aggressive and control the pace of your team. You will want to put pressure on the enemy team from a distance in the Omnic form. Throw your barrier shield to defend your team.
If your team is being aggressive you will want to back them up by throwing your Ravenous Vortex and turn into Nemesis form and start pummelling away.
Activate your Nemesis form when you’re pushing in. It gives you extra health and the piercing punch attacks are very effective breaking through the enemy line.
When using Annihilation steer clear of enemy shields since this ultimate is fully blocked by barriers which will prevent you from keeping it active.
