A founding member of Overwatch and once renowned as the greatest sniper in the world, Ana Amari comes from a long line of decorated military veterans. Though she was thought to have perished in a firefight with Talon, Ana has rejoined the fray to protect her country, family, and closest allies.
Overwatch
As the Omnic Crisis inflicted a heavy toll on Egypt, the country's depleted and undermanned armed forces relied on elite snipers for support. Among them was Ana Amari, who was widely considered to be the world's best. Her superior marksmanship, decision-making, and instincts made her a natural selection to join the Overwatch strike team that would end the war. Following the success of Overwatch's original mission, Ana served for many years as Strike Commander Morrison's second-in-command. Despite her responsibilities in leading the organization, Ana refused to step away from combat operations. She remained on active duty well into her fifties, until she was believed to have been killed during a hostage rescue mission by the Talon operative known as Widowmaker.
Post overwatch
In truth, Ana survived that encounter, despite being gravely wounded and losing her right eye. During her recovery, she wrestled with the weight of a life spent in combat, and she chose to stay out of the world's growing conflicts. However, as time passed, she realized she could not sit on the sidelines while people threatened her city and the innocents around her. Ana rejoined the fight, this time as a healer, and dedicated herself to monitoring global security threats. Prior to disrupting Talon operations in Cairo, she intercepted an unlikely broadcast: the Overwatch Recall from her former friend, Winston.
Recall
Ana remained uncertain about the Recall, but she had decided to help her comrades from the shadows. She sent word to Cole Cassidy, knowing that he had survived the demise of Overwatch and returned as a gunslinger for hire. Ana knew the organization needed new blood—people like Cassidy and her daughter, Pharah—were it to stand a chance, and worried the old guard would only poison the agency’s return. She shared as much with her daughter in an overdue reunion, before embarking on her own mission with Soldier: 76. With no regrets left, Ana travels the world tracking down Talon and the ghosts that haunt her former allies. And while she didn’t rejoin Overwatch, Ana keeps her eye on their exploits just in case.
Reign of talon
After Ana’s travels were suddenly interrupted by Talon’s attack on Gibraltar, she teams up with Overwatch once more to confront the looming global threat—at least until it’s been dealt with.
Ana Tips
- 1Sleep Dart is most punishing when your team can immediately follow up — communicate before throwing so allies are ready to capitalize.
- 2Nano Boost pairs best with ultimates that benefit from extra damage and speed: Genji Blade, Soldier Helix, or Reaper Death Blossom.
- 3Biotic Grenade's anti-heal zone is as valuable as the burst heal — throw it under enemies who are being healed to cut off their sustain.
- 4Ana's long range means you can heal from safety, but always reposition to maintain line of sight as the fight moves forward.
Support Overview
Support heroes are the lifeline of any team composition. While healing is their primary function, modern Overwatch 2 supports are far more than passive healers — many have significant damage potential, strong movement abilities, and fight-altering ultimates. The skill of a great support player lies in constantly prioritizing: who needs healing most right now, when to apply offensive pressure, and when to reposition for survival.
Positioning
Supports thrive in the midrange between the frontline and the team's backline. Too far forward and flankers will pick you; too far back and your healing won't reach your tank. Always maintain line of sight to your highest-priority heal target, use cover to block flanking routes, and position near an escape path when aggressive enemies are nearby.
Strengths
- +Dramatically increases team survivability through sustained healing
- +Fight-turning ultimate abilities that can negate enemy ults or revive the team
- +Boost abilities that amplify allies' damage or speed at critical moments
- +Many modern supports can self-sustain and survive aggressive dives
Weaknesses
- −Primary flanker target — enemy DPS will try to isolate you
- −Healing multiple targets simultaneously creates difficult priority decisions
- −Positioning too far from the frontline means your healing doesn't land
- −Lower damage output compared to tanks and damage heroes in most cases
