Ana Hero Guide
Ana is an off support who uses her various utility abilities to heal and boost her allies while shutting down hostile efforts from afar.
Ana is a "sniper" in her own right, as her Biotic Rifle Icon Biotic Rifle has a scope that lets Ana take shots at range (similar to Widowmaker. However, her sniper rifle can heal allies or damage enemies depending on who she shoots. Therefore, Biotic Rifle is a versatile weapon that lets Ana accomplish her goals no matter the situation.
Biotic Rifle is Ana's primary weapon, but is less of a weapon and more of a "syringe launcher." These syringes are filled with biotic fluid, a substance known to harm enemies and heal allies. Therefore, Biotic Rifle has two uses, healing team members and killing enemies.
Healing shots give allies 75 health over 0.85 seconds from the shot's impact. Therefore, enemies can kill an ally in the middle of the heal if the damage threshold surpasses the healing effects of the shot. Each shot only affects one ally, but if Ana shoots an ally who is full health, the bullet will travel through the ally and impact another target behind him or her.
Damage shots deal 70 damage over 0.85 seconds from the shot's impact. Therefore, Ana will need to land three shots in order to kill most damage heroes in the game
Sleep Dart is an extremely straightforward ability, but one of the hardest to land. Sleep Dart uses the projectile dps mechanic to fire a projectile that causes an enemy to become incapacitated for a full 5.5 seconds. During this nap, the enemy will be roused by any damage he or she takes. If an enemy is roused, it takes 0.5 seconds for an enemy to get up after he or she awakes from his or her slumber. Therefore, if an enemy is shot immediately after Sleep Dart lands, he or she will wake up 0.5 seconds after falling asleep.
The projectile travels at 60 meters a second, deals 5 damage to the enemy, travels through allies, and cannot deal headshot damage. Additionally, there is a short casting animation before Sleep Dart goes off, which is the main reason it can be so difficult to land. Its 12-second cooldown begins at the end of Sleep Dart's firing animation
Biotic Grenade is an area of effect projectile that, when thrown, travels in an arc 40 meters a second to its point of contact. Once the grenade makes contact with a solid object (ally, enemy, in-game scenery), it breaks open and damages all enemies within a 4 meter radius of its impact for 60 points, and similarly heals all allies for 100 points..
Ana's utility ultimate is called Nano Boost Icon Nano Boost, and it is arguably the best ally-friendly buff in the game. The boost is a single target ability that instantly restores 300 health, increases his or her damage output by 50%, and decreases incoming damage by 50% for eight seconds.
Ana must be in line of sight of her target to give them Nano Boost, and the cast is instant, making its effects instantaneous as well.
It is important to note that the damage reduction does not stack with other damage reduction abilities. Therefore, Nano Boost does not increase damage reduction for an Orisa using Fortify Icon Fortify..
