Story

"Everyone must find their cause."

One of the founding members of Overwatch, Ana uses her skills and expertise to defend her home and the people she cares for. Hailing from a long line of decorated soldiers, Ana inspired confidence and loyalty in her colleagues and endowed her daughter, Fareeha Amari ⃢₀ₔ Pharah Pharah "I will protect the innocent." Real Name Fareeha Amari Age 32 Nationality Egyptian Occupation Security Chief Base Giza, Egypt Affiliation Egyptian Army (formerly)Helix Security International Relations Ana Amari (mother) Voice Jen Cohn (English) Ethel overwatch , with an intense sense of duty and honor. Like her daughter, she bore a tattoo of an Eye of Horus as a symbol of protection. Likewise, her callsign in the Egyptian Military during the Omnic Crisis was "Horus."

Ana is regarded as one of the world`s deadliest snipers. She originally used a Kinamura Type Sniper rifle Owner Ana Amari (formerly) The Kinamura is a type of sniper rifle. It is equipped with a scope, and can fire .338 rounds. It s accurate up to 2000 meters, with a bullet overwatch rifle, upon which she added a notch for every life she took. Each life weighed heavily on her conscience, and while some snipers preferred to wound targets, in order to lure out more potential targets, she preferred to perform clean kills, disliking causing needless suffering. Her right eye, originally cybernetic, made her vision six times greater than normal, to the extent where she rarely even needed to use the scope.

Ana’s rifle shoots darts that can restore health to her allies or deal ongoing damage to her enemies. She can use the rifle’s scope to zoom in on targets and make highly accurate shots. While Ana does relatively less damage compared to other snipers, the Biotic Rifle allows Ana to switch back and forth from the roles of combatant to healer.

Ana is a Support Each hero fills a different role in Overwatch. Roles in Overwatch are loosely defined, and heroes can fulfill a role not designated for them. Roles, as they exist, are designed to help players identify which overwatch hero See playable characters. For the animated short, see Hero. All of the heroes, as of 2015 There are currently 24 playable hero characters in Overwatch. Each fits into one of four roles overwatch in Overwatch See the in-game organization. For the article about the game, see Overwatch. "Conflict. As the world teetered on the brink of anarchy, a new hope arose. An elite international taskforce charged with overwatch .

Strategy

Ana is a mid to long-range Support sniper, capable of healing at any range while also maintaining a fair level of damage output. Her Biotic Grenade lets her amplify healing effects from not only her own healing darts but also from other Supports and environmental healing, such as Payloads and Health packs. She has a sidearm which will fire a Sleep Dart, which can render the enemy who`s hit with it temporary useless unless someone wakes them up. Nano Boost is a supportive ultimate that is used to provide strong buffs to an ally, allowing them to deal more damage while taking less damage from the enemy. She can also be an anti-healer as her Biotic Grenade will prevent enemies hit by the blast from getting healed in any way, making her an outstanding support. Ana lacks all source of mobility and only has her sidearm to protect herself, making it easy for her to be outflanked by the flankers as well as other mobile heroes.

Weapons & Abilities

  • Biotic Rifle Biotic Rifle Type Sniper rifle Designer Torbjörn Lindholm Owner Ana Amari The article focuses on the lore behind the weapon. For an Ana ability, see here. A prototype biotic rifle was designed by Torbjörn, with overwatch : Ana`s primary weapon. It carries ten rounds in a single clip and is able to affect both teams, healing allies for 75 @@@#@@@HP(hp.com)###@### and dealing 60 damage to enemies. It comes equipped with a scope which increases Ana`s range at the sacrifice of vision of her surroundings. The rounds fired from the Biotic Rifle change behavior depending on the use of the scope. While unscoped, the darts are considered fast-moving projectiles. While scoped, the darts are considered hitscan and reveal a bullet tail.
    • Ana`s rifle is unique in that it deals its damage and heals in rapid segments, rather than all at once. As it deals 4 rapid segment within 1 shot, it is less effective against armored-heroes.
    • The healing segments will continue to heal shortly after a teammate gets shot, allowing for one to fire in anticipation to damage and still heal.
    • Even though it is a sniper-rifle weapon, it can`t deal a critical shot.

General Strategies

  • While Ana has reasonable to outstanding damage capabilities like other damage dealers, she is unable to deal any critical shots and suffers from low mobility. You must focus on healing your allies rather than playing like DPS-heroes; you can`t act like them well on your own.
  • Even Ana can provide more healing than other supports due to her fast fire-rate and Biotic Grenade. Playing her as a sole support will lead the enemy to prioritize you as the first target. So pairing with the other supports should be recommended.
  • Ana is a sniper class, which is deadly at attacking the enemy from extreme range. You can kite the enemy that your teammates can`t attack back like rivaled snipers or airborne targets with ease. Keep in mind that you can`t deal a critical shot nor heavy damage that will put them in lethal levels instantly, so try to stay in cover or a friendly`s barrier.
  • Biotic Grenade is a strong counter to all healing effects; such as Roadhog`s Take a Breather, Zenyatta`s Transcendence or even an opposing Ana`s Biotic Grenade. You can throw the grenade directly to the enemy and contact your teammates to gang up on the effected target as they can`t be healed.
  • Missing a Sleep Dart to flankers will result in your disadvantage. Try to practice your aim and adjusting the dart`s speed.
  • Ana has a combo on her own with Sleep Dart. If you can hit the enemy with Sleep Dart, shoot the enemy with dart and throw a Biotic Grenade and then melee attack. Even if the enemy survives, you will have an upper hand in any subsequent match.
  • A target under the effect from Sleep Dart will be rendered useless and unable to make any actions. If your combo can`t finish the target, communicate your team to do so. Reinhardt`s Charge is a great choice to finish the target if he doesn`t need to cover your team with barrier at that time.
  • Don`t let the other teammates interfere in your line-of-sight while activating Nano Boost on the target. You have to communicate with your teammates to whom you will give the ultimate and always have space in your line-of-sight, so you can avoid giving Nano Boost to a wrong target that can`t bring your ultimate to any usefulness, such as Lℂ⅟cio or Mercy.
  • The common targets for your Nano Boost should be damage dealers rather than tanks. While boosting tanks will give them a better chance of surviving and greatly increase their damage, you will force them to move out of their position to attack the enemy, in order to not waste the damage buff gains from Nano Boost.
  • Even though the Nano Boosted-hero will take less damage by 50%, the effected hero can still die if the enemies are focusing on the boosted-hero. Try to heal the boosted-hero continuously, so that they won`t die in the most important engagement.
  • As Ana can both heal allies and damage enemies, along with Biotic Grenade`s amplifying healing; she can gain the ultimate charge quickly, so you can use the Nano Boost on your target to push or to defend depending on the situations much faster than other healers.

It was all the time Widowmaker needed to take her own shot, shooting Ana through the scope of her rifle and into her right eye. It was believed that the shot killed her.

In truth, Ana survived that encounter, despite being gravely wounded and losing the eye. The world believed that she was dead. 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. Be that as it may, as time passed, she realized she could not sit on the sidelines while people threatened her city and the innocents around her.

Development

Ana was the first hero added to the game after its launch. Her development grew from a prototype support character called the Alchemist, who could heal allies and damage enemies by throwing potion vials. When it was decided that Ana Amari would be a playable character, the team took to the idea of her being a support sniper in order to distinguish her from Widowmaker Widowmaker "One shot, one kill." Real Name Amélie Lacroix Age 33 Nationality French Occupation Assassin Base Annecy, France Affiliation Talon Relations Gérard Lacroix (husband, deceased) Voice Chloe Hollings (English and French) Francesca Perilli (Italian)Shizuka Itô overwatch and incorporated elements of the Alchemist`s kit into her design, building upon the biotic technology used by Mercy and Soldier: 76.citation⃂needed Prior to being revealed, it was widely speculated that Ana and Sombra were the same character, resulting from the photographs of her Shrike mask being misidentified as Sombra.

Several PR assets on Blizzard`s press center website for Ana are labeled "Shrike" instead of "Ana", suggesting that her placeholder name during development was Shrike. The name Shrike was used for one of her epic skins, in which she wears a mask previously seen in pre-release easter eggs.

Ana was teased on Temple of Anubis, with an opened document picturing her wearing her Shrike mask. Her scope could be seen being worked on in a GameSpot video. Also in the video was an early prototype with a modified Widowmaker model seen in the character selection screen, in the support section.

The increased speed from Ana’s Nano Boost made the ability feel unstoppable and forced Ana players to select targets that could really take advantage of the speed boost. Removing the speed boost means that Ana has a reason to apply Nano Boost to a larger variety of heroes, and enemies can fend off the attack more easily.
