    Best Tank Characters and Heroes

However, there are players who prefer both, characters that can absorb more damage and work as lone warrior works well for them. So for those players, here are some of the best tank characters in overwatch 2 that can absorb a significant amount of damage as well as deliver heavy damage.

    D.Va

    Overwatch 2 Best Tank Characters

    Firstly, let’s talk about D. Va’s defense mechanism which is more than enough for you to choose her. D. Va uses the Defense Matrix shield, which allows her to multi-task, she can block the shots and projects from her enemies, and at the same time, she can wander around the area using her mech. D. Va is undeniably one of the best damage dealers and better than any other tank character for obvious reasons

    However, that’s just not it, D. Va is equipped with Micro Missiles and she also has the ability to self-destruct which delivers a heavy amount of damage to its enemies.

    Orisa

    Orisa is one of those characters that have gone through quite a few changes in overwatch 2. Orisa’s cooldown-based ammo system allows it to hit headshots more accurately and can even deliver bonus damage at close range. Orisa is also equipped with The Energy Javelin, which can pierce into enemies and push them back while trapping them to a wall and causing added damage.

    Additionally, you can also lower the amount of damage dealt and even increase your attack rate by using fortify, which will automatically help you and your teammates with some health.

    Roadhog

    Roadhog is the only tank character that can heal itself by using his bonus ability Take A Breather. His chain hook and scrap gun combine to draw enemies in and blast them in the face. Additionally, by using his Ultimate Whole Dog you can transform his shotgun into one mighty chain gun that allows you to burst out in the whole area in front of you at once, dealing some heavy damages, especially in packed situations.

    Sigma

    From Kinetic Grasp that works as a shield to an Experimental Barrier that extends in front of you to deflect projectiles, Sigma has almost everything that is needed to complete the defensive needs of a player. However, Sigma’s great defense did not stop him from having some remarkable attack equipment as well.

    Be it his Hyperspheres that act as dual grenades or Gravitic Flux that allows Sigma to throw his enemies in the air and then smash them into the ground as well, Sigma also has everything that an aggressive player needs making him one of the finest tank characters in overwatch 2.
