How Tall is D.Va Overwatch?
The question of how tall is D.Va, one of the most iconic characters in the popular multiplayer battle arena game Overwatch is often met with confusion and misconceptions. Is she a standard, run-of-the-mill robotic person in a mech suit like Mercy? Is she a towering metal monolith like Reinhardt’s Castle? Or does she exist at a height that can’t even be measured? takes deep breath Let me attempt to answer this question once and for all.
Direct Answer to the Question
After careful analysis of the games, Blizzard, the developer, has not given us a direct answer to D.Va’s height. However, it can be surmised, though inferentially, in this case. In the World of Warcraft raid, Ruthless Gladiator’s Legacy Gear achievement, D.Va stands relatively close to the players during a dramatic cutscene. *Note: When an Overwatch hero gains too much power, they become unworthy, and the players should prevent the villains from gaining power. Spoiler Alert*
A notable part of this scene lies with its camera angles: both shots include the players’ viewpoints while aiming at D.Va from chest-level. This setup and framing suggest that we’re to assume D.Va stands within a reasonable height range above or even with the players; i.e., around average adult human height. Think: in the real world. But are we sure.
Height Comparison Charts: For Better Understanding (Height Estimates)

| D.Va | **1.59 m ± 0.05 ** |
| Mercy | **1.65 ± 0.01 ** |
| Reindeer | **6.12 ± 0.24 ** |
| Soldier : 76 | **1.60 ± 0.02 ** |
**We** assume D.Va roughly resembles adult human height, although I might have been able to squeeze D.Va among adults ranging from 1.46m up to 1.58m)**. This falls closer to the average height worldwide (<[https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat-statistics-explain/average-height-individuals-eu-population>]: 1.7029±0.00125)[7]. **Why am I so sure here, you ask ** Well **think about it when I describe the scene above or you ask yourself: What really indicates they are so unusual*. Height may only work as a reference indicator due to many factors**. Think; are we sure their ‘Mech suits are consistent among others? **Some answers just aren’t there – only interpretations**.
