Does an Ana boosted Mech deal more damage during self-destruct? [duplicate]

Solution 1:

D.Va's ultimate does 1000 damage to any targets within the 20m radius. The downside to having such a high damage AoE ability is that other players can block the damage by placing themselves behind a barrier of some kind. Typically this is something like a wall or a car, but Reinhardt/Orisa/Winston shields also work (and take no damage from the explosion), as does Mei's Ice Wall.

Ana's ult gives the affected player 50% damage amplification. If you use it on the D.Va mech and the D.Va ults afterward, the mech retains the damage boost and yes, it will do a total of 1500 damage. However, it does not gain any other properties - it is still blocked by map obstacles and player-made barriers. The only advantage of nanoboosting a D.Va mech is if the enemy has a Roadhog - when he uses his Take A Breather (E), he gains 50% damage reduction for the duration, meaning that if he's at full health he can theoretically tank through a regular mech explosion, but a nanoboosted explosion will kill him regardless. However, this is an extremely niche use, and I would not recommend using the nano-mech explosion in most cases. It's just a waste of an Ana ult.
