Ana Support Sniper and Skills in "Overwatch"
Ana's Biotic Rifle abilities allow her to shoot darts that can provide damage to enemies but heal her group members. Just as a real rifle, she can use the scope to make an accurate shot.
The Sleep Dart is fairly straightforward as any dart that lands on the enemy will make them unconscious. However, if they get hit again by Ana or any of her team members, they will wake up.
For Biotic Grenade, it can damage enemies and heal allies in the area where the bomb was dropped. For its effects, allies will receive more heals while enemies cannot be healed by their teammates for a few seconds.
The Nano Boost is for her allies. Anyone who gets hit with this will make them move faster, give them more attacks and blocks from the enemy.
Ana – Pharah's Mother
Ana is reportedly Pharah's mother. Pharah or Fareeha Amari, 32, is a mobile offense type hero and she along with her mom both operate in Egypt. Ana's unveiling was reportedly spoiled by netizens as Blizzard had planned to reveal their new "Overwatch" character at the San Diego Comic Con 2016 (SDCC 2016).
Game Zone reported that Ana was expected to be a surprise reveal at the "Behind the Scenes of Overwatch's Newest Hero" panel by Blizzard. It is unclear why the company decided to reveal and put the details online about Ana when the SDCC 2016 is only a week away.
