Overwatch’s Season 4 is here, bringing a new Hero: D.Mon. Fans have eagerly waited for years to see another MEKA squad member join as a player character alongside D.Va. D.Mon is a highly mobile melee Tank that can shake up the meta. To help you understand how this Hero works, here’s a complete guide on Overwatch’s latest addition, D.Va.
All D.Mon Skills & Abilities in Overwatch Season 4
D.Mon’s gameplay is totally different from D.Va’s ballistic-heavy style. Instead, D.Mon brings an agile sword and shield to the Tank role. Since she pilots a mech, she shares the same Pilot Form mechanic with D.Va, allowing her to stay in the fight even if her mech is destroyed. Here’s a complete list of D.Mon’s abilities in the game.

Team Comps and Counters for D.Mon in Overwatch Season 4
D.Mon thrives in closing the distance and taking space; she’s incredibly effective in rush compositions. You’ll want her to be paired with speed-boosting supports like Lúcio or Juno, alongside mobile flankers such as Tracer, Genji, or Shion. She can easily bully low-mobility heroes who can’t escape her shielded dashes. Her ultimate pairs well with damage hero ultimates due to the damage amplification debuff it applies to enemies.
Despite her agility, D.Mon doesn’t have it easy against everyone. She’ll struggle heavily against poke-oriented or highly vertical team comps. Heroes like Pharah, Echo, and Wrecking Ball can effortlessly evade her plasma saber. She lacks the vertical mobility to contest flying Heroes in matches. Managing her Propulsor fuel cooldown is also vital, as being caught without fuel leaves her vulnerable. Despite her weaknesses, once you understand her gameplay and abilities, you can wreak havoc in matches.
