Tips for playing Ramattra
While in his Omnic Form, Ramattra uses his Void Accelerator to pepper opponents with a stream of projectiles. This is a great way to attack foes from a distance. When paired with his Void Barrier, he can shield his allies and himself from harm.
When in his Nemesis Form, Ramattra can pummel foes with heavy attacks. These pummels will also pierce through shields, meaning he can be a great counter-pick to heroes like Reinhardt, Sigma and Brigitte.
Along with this, you can also mix in Ramattra's abilities. The most notable is the Ravenous Vortex, which is great in objective-based modes. You can use Ravenous Vortex to create a circular area, which will slow down and damage enemies within it.
Finally, we have Ramattra's Ultimate known as Annihilation. This is great for when you're looking to play more offensively and tank some damage for your team.
When used, a swamp of energy will circle you and deal damage to nearby foes, but what makes it most useful is the fact it pauses its usage when you're taking fire, meaning it can effectively be used indefinitely. Enemies will have to weigh up fighting you or letting your Ultimate run its course.
How to unlock Ramattra in Overwatch 2
Ramattra is unlocked by winning 35 games and finishing his Hero Challenges in practice. For owners of the OG Overwatch, he'll unlock automatically.
