Overwatch 2 Ramattra Abilities

Overwatch 2 developers have not completely confirmed what abilities Ramattra will have. What we know so far from character art, leaked in-game screenshots, and Ramattra’s reveal at the Overwatch League Grand Finals 2022 with Overwatch 2 developers Alec Dawson and Dion Rogers, is that Ramattra will be the first hero in Overwatch 2 who can transform at will.

Here are some Ramattra abilities we can expect to see from Overwatch 2’s newest tank hero, based on Watchpoint’s interview with developers Alec Dawson and Dion Rogers at the worldwide reveal of Ramattra during the Overwatch League Grand Finals 2022:

• In Ramattra’s Omnic formhe wilds a Staff with primary fire that can do long to mid-range “poke damage”.
• While in Omnic form, Ramattra can summon a Barrier Shield to protect his teammates.
• Ramattra’s Nemesis form transforms him from his smaller Omnic form into a bigger and tougher Omnic.
• In Ramattra’s Nemesis formhe dishes out a Punch melee abilitypotentially capable of piercing through enemy team’s shields.

Nemesis form is an ability Rammatra can toggle. It is unknown whether Nemesis form will have a cooldown timer and how long the ability’s cooldown might last.

In another interview with Alec Dawson, the Overwatch 2 developer confirmed that Ramattra’s Ultimate also transforms him into his Nemesis form and is a part of the Ultimate. It is unconfirmed at this time what else might be included in Ramattra’s Ultimate.

In a leaked screenshot shared by Reddit user SeeOurTea, it appears that Ramattra may have some type of “Vortex” ability while in Omnic form. This ability is not yet confirmed.
