How to Play Ashe in Overwatch 2 (Strategies & Tips)

Before delving into her playstyle and abilities, you need to unlock her first. You can unlock Ashe by completing 50 matches. As each of the wins counts as 2 after you unlock Ana, you can speed up this process.

So, here are all the important tips and strategies to play Ashe in OW 2:

  • As mentioned before, Ashe is a damage hero that has several abilities and weapons up her sleeves. She can dominate mid-ranged combat with her primary weapon known as Viper.
  • Speaking about her playstyle, Ashe can fire her semi-automatic rifle from her hip or Aim-down sight.
  • Her primary weapon is best suited for finishing off her enemies. But on the contrary, Ashe can be vulnerable in close-range combat.
  • Some of the heroes that can be dangerous in close-ranged battles are Genji, Widowmaker, Moira, Reaper, and Reinhardt.
  • To avoid such close encounters, you can use her Coach Gun ability. As she uses this ability, she can cause knockback damage to her enemies while she propels away from them.
  • Coach Gun can help Ashe evade her enemies. You need to be closer to the enemy as you use this ability.
  • Also, make a note while using this ability against heroes like Genji as they can propel you twice than normal. This can also potentially throw you off the map.
  • Her Dynamite ability can be a great ability to knock away her enemies. As the name suggests, you can throw a bundle of dynamites at your enemies.
  • This dynamite explodes within 2 seconds as they land or instantly by shooting them.
  • If Ashe gets in the line of fire, she can deal with half of the damage. You can spam this ability to charge your Ultimate ability.

  • Lastly, Ashe’s ult ability summons her sidekick butler B.O.B to help her out during the match.
  • With his powers, you can throw an enemy in the air making it easy for Ashe to take a shot. During such cases, it can be a guaranteed kill unless they are Tank heroes.
  • B.O.B’s attacks can be combined with the buffs of several Support heroes. We suggest saving up and using this ult quite situationally.
