How to play Ash in Overwatch 2 (strategy and tips)

Before diving into her play style and abilities, you need to unlock her first. You can unlock Ash by completing 50 matches. Since every win counts as 2 after Ana is unlocked, you can speed up this process.

So, here are all the important tips and strategies for playing Ash in OW 2:

• As mentioned earlier, Ash is a damage hero with several abilities and weapons up his sleeve. She can dominate mid-range combat with her primary weapon known as the Viper.
• Speaking of his playstyle, Ash can fire his semi-automatic rifle from the hip or aim down.
• Her main weapon is best for finishing off enemies. But, conversely, Ash can be vulnerable in close combat.
• Some of the heroes that can be dangerous in melee are Genji, Widowmaker, Moira, Reaper, and Reinhardt.
• To avoid such close encounters, you can use her Coach Gun ability. When she uses this ability, she can knock back enemies by pushing away from them.
• The Coach Gun can help Ash dodge enemies. You must be close to the enemy when using this ability.
• Also, pay attention when using this ability against heroes like Genji, as they can give you twice as much push as normal. It can also potentially throw you off the map.
• Her Dynamite ability can be a great ability to knock down enemies. As the name suggests, you can throw a bunch of dynamite at enemies.
• This dynamite explodes within 2 seconds when they land, or instantly when shot at them.
• If Ash is in the line of fire, she can deal half damage. You can spam this ability to charge up your ultimate ability.

• Finally, Ash’s ultimate ability summons her assistant butler BOB to help her during the match.
• With his abilities, you can toss an enemy into the air, making it easier for Ash to shoot. In such cases, it can be a guaranteed kill, unless they are tank heroes.
• BOB’s attacks can be combined with buffs from multiple supports. We suggest hoarding and using this ult is quite situational.
