Sombra is one of the Overwatch franchise’s most enduring characters. She made a splash when she launched after an extended ARG in 2016 and she’s still turning the tide of battle with her support-adjacent damage abilities and stealthy demeanor. Even in the face of Overwatch 2‘s powerful heroes, the famed hacker can easily hold her own and can be an important part of a strong team composition.
While Sombra can be a powerful asset to most teams, this also means she can be a pain to play against. She can be especially annoying to play against if you’re using a support character; she specializes in tracking down and taking out weak backline heroes. If you’re struggling to counter a Sombra on the enemy team or if your team is doing nothing to stop her from running rampant, it’s important to learn about who and what counters her.
