Overwatch 2 has been in the news for many reasons. It’s a FPS title developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment and will be the successor to the popular 2016 release, Overwatch. 

It is known that Overwatch 2 will feature a similar environment for its PvP modes with regard to the first installment in the franchise while bringing in a few changes. One of them being reducing the team size in PvP from 6 per team to 5 players. This also resulted in a lot of playable characters being tweaked or reworked.

Orisa

  • Weapon: Augmented Fusion Driver
  • Ability one: Energy Javelin
  • Ability two: Javelin Spin
  • Ability three: Fortify
  • Ultimate: Terra Surge

This character is a solid solo tank that teams can depend on. The character comes in handy since the solo tank format that many player follow is very popular. Orisa’s abilities like Fortify completely reduces all incoming damage. This enables her to effectively negate most of the damage.

Zarya

  • Weapon: Particle Cannon
  • Passive: Energy
  • Ability one: Particle Barrier
  • Ability two: Projected Barrier
  • Ultimate: Graviton Surge

Zarya has always been popular among players in the first entry of the franchise and now as well. The character has been reworked with slight tweaks to make her better than before. She has received the biggest change in the buffs to her barrier abilities. 

D.Va

  • Weapon: Fusion Cannons
  • Passive: Eject!
  • Ability one: Defense Matrix
  • Ability two: Boosters
  • Ultimate one: Self-Destruct
  • Ultimate two: Call Mech

The most powerful tank hero in Overwatch 2 is undoubtedly D.Va. The character was very popular in the first game. While she comes packed with highly rewarding playstyle, she is also infamous for having one of the highest skill ceilings. It makes mastering the character a tough task for new players. But once players reach that point, the character pays for all of that time spent practicing.
