Overwatch 2 Hero Guide: Ramattra (Abilities, Tips & More)

Punish your enemies in Ranked with Overwatch's first “tempo tank”, Ramattra.

Stand Together

The memories of war have left a scarred world with an underlying hatred for Omnics. Realizing the threat of extinction should his limited kind continue on this path of complacency, Ramattra seeks to unite his kind to revolt against their human counterparts. Threatening the world with another global conflict, few can stand against Ramattra's wrath in his quest to achieve peace for his people — by any means necessary.

The Anubis god-program started the first Omnic crisis in the Overwatch storyline. It reactivated decommissioned Omniums, which were factories that manufactured subservient robots, and repurposed them to unleash deadly war machines that almost brought about human extinction.

In a recently released short story written by Gavin Jurgens Fyhrie titled “Ramattra: Reflections”, we find out that Ramattra has gotten one of the Omniums to start running again. Given Talon's involvement (as seen in “Storm Rising”), things are bound to reach its boiling point soon. As PvE is set to release sometime in 2023, fans are excited to see how the rest of Overwatch's story unfolds.

If you haven't already, here's our guide on how to unlock Ramattra in Overwatch 2.

Punish Them!

The former Shambali monk has shed his robes in exchange for a void accelerator staff he uses to damage heroes from afar. His “tempo tank” kit allows him to crowd control (cc) with his slow ability and devastates adversaries that get too close. Furthermore, his highly dangerous ultimate ability, Annihilation, stands in direct contrast to his brother Zenyatta's.

Knowing oneself is always the first step. Press on to discover all you need to know about Ramattra's hero abilities.

Clever Tactics

Void Accelerator, much like Kiriko's Kunai can be aimed at the enemy's horizontal “head line” to deal more critical damage, charging your ultimate faster. On top of that, you also effectively poke enemies from mid range. Given that damage is consistent from any distance, you may also weaken faraway enemies to give fighting allies a better advantage.

Void Barrier is best reserved for big ults/saving an ally from certain death due to the barrier's short duration and long cooldown. Its utility is understated, giving players a 35m distance range whenever a teammate is trying to escape their pursuers.

Nemesis Form‘s extra armor ups your survivability drastically. Quickly transform and use Block to shield immediate allies from harm. On the other hand, feel free to punish those who come too close or wander too far from the enemy team's sight lines. Playing in a literal “Hulkbuster” is serious fun, but take note of its long cooldown.
