The cast of Blizzard’s MOBA,Heroes of the Storm, continues to grow and characters from every Blizzard game are starting to add up. An upcoming patch will bring yet anotherOverwatchfan-favorite to theHotSlineup with the addition of D.Va. The character is available on the public test realm through the first half of May, which means we now know a lot more about how she will play and what players new skills players will have to master.
Like the rest of theOverwatchcharacters who have made their way intoHeroes of the Storm, D.Va plays very similarly in the MOBA as she does in the competitive shooter. Many of her skills are built around her mech, but she also has the ability to bail on the gear and run around on foot after she has taken too much damage to go on.
This breakdown of D.Va’s skills and abilities can help players get started whenever they have a chance to take the new brawler for a spin…
Basic Abilities
Heroic Abilities
When playing as (or against) D.Va, it’s important to keep in mind that players will only get 50% of a kill for taking her out in her mech or out of her mech. In order to get full credit, the enemy will need to take down D.Va in both her play modes. Another exciting change that makes D.Va stand out from most otherHotScharacters is that she can move while firing in Mech mode. The player will move 15% slower when using this perk, but it is still a very exciting bonus over other players who must remain stationary when attacking.
What do you think of D. Va’s skillset? Do you think you’ll be adding her to yourHeroes of the Stormplay rotation? Let us know in the comments.
