Ramattra General Tips

Ramattra has a lot of similarities to Reinhardt's playstyle, as you want to get in close with the enemies and apply pressure with Nemesis Form. Ramattra's barrier has a very short duration; without Nemesis Form, Ramattra can die very quickly. The best tips for Ramattra are:

• Rely on corners and natural cover rather than Ramattra's barrier for protection.
• Nemesis Form is Ramattra's strongest ability.
  • Place the barrier before entering Nemesis Form as it cannot be placed during.
  • Pummel pierces enemy barriers.
  • You can Quick Melee while in Nemesis Form for additional melee damage.
• Annihilation will last indefinitely while it's latched on to an enemy. It's best used on the objective where enemies want to get to.
  • Ravenous Vortex can help lock enemies in place during Annihilation.
• Ravenous Vortex can pull Pharah and Echo to the ground. Use this to your advantage.
