Nope, no idea at all

3

I’ve read the purple passive seven times and lose brain cells every time I read it.

4

So the purple deals damage to the enemy and then immediately heals them for said damage? What’s the point?

Edit: appears to deal with the green power

5

The point seems to be her green, which does damage equal to what she has healed. If she just healed the enemy, they’d end up with more health. By hurting them and then healing them, they don’t lose or gain health, but she adds damage counted to her green

Yea I updated my post once I got down to it. 10 ap for her green is pretty steep.

7

What

Huh

8

Yeah it’s a bit of a weird setup. Net neutral damage from the extra hit she deals. But it’s all to fuel her green by giving enemies burst health, so she’s not a total dud and relying on enemy team compositions that burst heal.

Who knows how much the green might cost when at 5 covers, maybe 4 AP? Makes you wonder why they costed it at 10 to begin with, as nobody is running her at only 1 green cover…

9

So this means we’re not getting a new 6-star release to replace the 4-star release? Wasn’t that the intended rollout for 6-stars? A quick set of 3 releases to build a team, followed by quarterly-ish releases?

10

She looks so happy!

11

The next two 6-stars will replace every other 4-star:

Galactus
Red Skull
Viper
5-star
6-star
5-star
4-star
5-star
6-star

12

I’m pretty sure their plan is to get 3 6s out on a 4 week cycle which is on an off week from normal releases. Then later slot them into the normal cycle but only every few months.

13

No it does damage and then does additional damage that heals so it’s only the second instance of damage that heals which fuels her other ability (and would also be good with Mephisto I think)

If you pair her with Mephisto she will be doing extra damage because he will reduce the healing

She’s the perfect support to skull and zemo. More so than Zola.

16

Did they update the green active with cost reduction? It looks like it’s going down to 4AP at 5 covers, which makes her pretty strong against anybody who does burst heal.

17

Another set of unnecessarily complicated powers, making this another ‘use when necessary’ type. Oh well… :expressionless:

18

She seems neat, wish she was a 5 or 6 however with these kind of abilities.

19

I wonder if her purple passive will always heal the same damage, or if strike/may/whatever will put it ahead.

20

She’ll be a 5* soon enough!
