5 Best Damage Heroes in Overwatch 2 [Ranked]

Echo

Echo, the Omnic created for good, is our first pick in this DPS tier list. With her insane mobility and burst, she can swoop in from anywhere and obliterate enemy heroes. If she wants to play safe, she can deal great damage from afar. With her ult, she can take up any role in the game.

Echo is a very good DPS in Overwatch 2, being able to solo carry fights with her burst damage and her ultimate. She truly is versatile and has good carry potential, and is why she is so controversial in the community, and also why Echo is in the list.

Soldier: 76

The most standard character you can get in an FPS shooter. This character has an instant mobility increase, heals to self-peel, and an ultimate that excels in Overwatch 2, where a second tank no longer exists. These abilities in conjunction allow Soldier: 76 to flank and find picks at ease, with no real counterplay.

Soldier is probably the easiest damage hero in the game, and a fantastic one at that. Recommended for any new players to pick him up first when learning the game.

Tracer

The cover star of Overwatch, Tracer. She has always been performing well in Overwatch, with quite a straight-forward but effective kit. Tracer is known for dashing into the sidelines and burst down a support and escaping tight situations at ease.

Tracer is a formidable ally to have, and a scary enemy to face. She is a high-performing but highly-mechanical damage hero in Overwatch 2.

Reaper

Reaper's usage and performance was shoddy in the original Overwatch, as an off-tank could easily peel for one's supports and shut down Reaper. With one less tank in the battle, Reaper can now effectively flank and eliminate enemies, becoming a nightmare to deal with. His kit is also very simple, but keeping damage is very high, making him my favorite pick for almost all maps in Overwatch 2.

Reaper is very strong, and requires little risk for good results. If you want to be riskier, you can reap even better rewards. He is also a great pick to counter to tank heroes in Overwatch 2.

Sojourn

So, Sojourn is sometimes simply unstoppable. She doesn't really have any downsides, and her mobility is disgusting; it's a nightmare for even the best sniper heroes in Overwatch 2. Sojourn can flank, deal a ton of damage, one shot someone, and escape in under 5 seconds. Her ultimate adds to her one shot capabilities, and turns her into the scariest character in the game when used by a professional.

Sojourn may require getting used to, but she is the best damage hero in the game, and maybe the best hero overall in the game. Master her, and you will see excellent results, being able to pick off any support hero in Overwatch.
