The Stadium game mode for Overwatch 2 offers a fresh take on gameplay, requiring players to commit to a single hero while allowing them to customize that hero's build to their liking. With no counter-swapping, it comes down to the player participating in a series of mini-rounds to earn Stadium Cash. That Stadium Cash is then used to purchase Items, further customizing your build alongside the various Powers that unlock on every other turn.
However, you can not change your choice of Powers after selecting them, and Items can only be purchased or swapped out at the beginning of each round. For this reason, ensuring your build follows a steady progression and synergizes well with the key Powers you have selected is incredibly important. To help get you started on the Support hero, Ana, two of her strongest Overwatch 2 Stadium builds have been outlined in the guide below.
