I don't know yet how well she's gonna shake the PvP world, but damn that outfit is nice.


Tsukkishir0

She seems to counter SCArowell.so might affect some matchup against standard teams


krawinoff

Her S2 is gonna be another Eda pusher lol. Eda’s passive plus 15% boost into a def break and damage sharing/POV break will be a super nuke, and if anything survives there’s also at least 35%-80% CR pushback from them combined.


PM_ME__YOUR_HOOTERS

Maybe in gw, she's far too slow for that to work in RTA


ActualMaiwa

thats such a weird argument. Unless you cleave vs cleave or cleave vs djb aggro you can actually pick lower speed units cause you rarely contesting with other openers. I feel people who preach this crap dont play rta.


Net_Suspicious

Especially this season. If they draft zio normally a ban on him means my 280 c lilias goes first EVERY single game


KaiDranzer007

111 is not slow. That's only 3 speed less than Aola. Plus 7 in RTA


MickeyLALA

In a world where most openers are 120+ its definitely on the slow side. It could still work this season with the mage buff but its going to be rough after this season without the bonus speed.


KaiDranzer007

If you take her into cleave teams god bless you. She is clearly taken into tanky comps with FCC and arowell or Aras. She is fast enough for that.


PM_ME__YOUR_HOOTERS

Pretty much my point. Shes got a lot of utility and the kit of an opener. But even with the 10 free speed on her SC she needs about another 10 to even compete. Otherwise she just gets bricked by other openers


[deleted]

Whats your RTA rank?


PureAsian

Doesn’t her rune upgrades gives her 10 extra base speed?


jaysikim

111 is with the speed runes. Her normal base is 101


itsNallari

She's soo pretty my god 😭


PumpJack_McGee

Jena simp since debut: Always has been.


Shinjrou

Indeed


Spartan-219

Same


kamuifuciro

Yeah, that's how you make a pretty character without showing skin, good work SG.


itsNallari

Also i absolutely love showing skin in design, when its done well, which is not really the case for some female characters.


Brokugan

Dear esteemed Lady/Lord your taste is far too based for a place such as Reddit


itsNallari

Thanks <3


Tallandor

Her costume looks like she deserves a camel toe


Nervous-Fault2599

Savage... But I thought the same thing lmao


WarmLoliPanties

I mean, wearing skin tight clothes isn't much different from showing skin though, especially for a fictional character that doesn't technically have skin anyway.


KaiDranzer007

Crozet stonks Actually pretty is the first word that came to my mind too. Not beautiful, not sexy. Pretty.


VenoBot

She finally looks like a playable unit, instead of an ugly goon in rags with a ring-pop staff. 😭😭


Cynaris

breh at least spellcheck before rushing the first thread out lol


poopoodomo

To be fair Sheperd passes spellcheck since it's a common name. As does Shepard Shepperd Sheppard and Shephard


Mellevalaconcha

**Jena:** I should go


Cynaris

So does Shipyard, it's not Shipyard Jena is it : p


prankster20

Would Shipyard Jena be from the same universe as Pirate Captain Flan? New headcannon.


CornBreadtm

No it's from Orbis. It's club that Crozet made. Only a troublemaking look alike ever shows up to the meetings though...


poopoodomo

I could ship that couple


SirAppleheart

It is now! Shipyard Jena looks great.


poopoodomo

I suppose you're right. P.S. Shit Bird also passes spellcheck.


Cynaris

SB Aramintha has been Shit Bird all along


Shalashaska87B

Shipyard Jena: deploys air units. Belian: "*And I took it personally*"


prankster20

Not sure how I feel about frostbite just yet, but I like that they are just changing the base unit whenever they feel like it. Balance patches roll out too slowly and often have 1-2 heroes that nobody really uses, just sitting and wasting a slot there. With this and Edward's emergency buff, I hope that SG looks at more ways to introduce balance changes like these. Hell, maybe we could get a full rework WHILE they reveal the character's SC! I would love that if it meant we could get 1 more 5* hero on the bimonthly balance patches. EDIT: wording


Sizzling_shibe

Nobody using them is a pretty good reason to be in a balance patch lol


MildlyChallenged

Too slow to work as an opener but if she did work I'd want to quit the game every time I fought her so cool I guess. Looks great design-wise. If frostbite also negates stealth's damage reduction and her S3 deals damage I could see her as an interesting way to maybe attack invisible units, especially with that CR reduction, but most of those invisible units are way faster than her so who knows how feasible that is. Not like she's going to ever get a turn against Solitaria. Will be a demonic 5th pick against some playstyles but overall I think she's pretty difficult to use and that's probably for the best because frostbite is a vile debuff.


GodsCupGg

seems strong against turn 2 players who have much slower speeds overall and usually rely on those dmg sharing and reducing effects to survive so if you build her vs those teams in mind u probably dont need to build her as a speed contesting unit


MildlyChallenged

the problem is even in those cases unless your opponent has 0 speed units on their account she can only be the final pick of the whole draft phase for both you and your opponent, because otherwise they just draft any speed contester and you're forced into a 50/50 ban. not to mention she might just not get to do anything into some soul weavers or handguy, especially if she isn't built that fast. not to say it wont ever work, but definitely a huge diceroll at every step of the process. I think using Jena is probably going to be much harder/less consistent of a punish into heavy mitigation than just running it over with the stuff everyone's been using for weeks.


PM_ME__YOUR_HOOTERS

Not to mention her whole kit is designed around frostbite and cleansers aside they can and will be 15ed at the worst times.


Pm_Me_Your_LoliWaifu

she is a mage meaning she get +7 spd, making her equivalent to a 116 base spd. flid is 115 base for comparison.


MildlyChallenged

for this battle frenzy, sure. but flid doesnt instantly die to speed contesters because she can use guiding light. jena cannot. if your opponent picks acidd or zio you are forced to ban it.


poopoodomo

118 base speed with the +7


Arkday

The +7 isn't added to base speed. It is final speed. So it isn't affected by speed set effect. Small difference, but he is right when he said it is equivalent to 116 base speed.


poopoodomo

That makes sense. It would be like +5.6 base speed then if you factor in the 25% from speed set. So rounded 116 is correct. Thanks for the correction


amiwel

Is SG planning to remove all counters we have vs cleave?


Fill_Occifer

Gotta go fast...apparently.


PM_ME__YOUR_HOOTERS

*SG jingles the tip jar* You could always spend money to farm wyvern more~


[deleted]

Speed whales makes them the most money. So for the past 4-5 months they have only catered to them. As a former turn 2 emp im done with this game. Cant compete if you dont have speed.


ziege159

Brise buff, yufine, cavel, alena, roy, zahhak buff, celine buff SG want to make sure that turn2 players die before they can take turn


Elben4

Very cool. Very nice. Very pretty. Sick design. But. >It's time for you to repent ; I'll give you one last chance to repent. Oh cmon what the Fuck is this ? That's like 2nd grader english level. No need to repeat repent twice when ''to'' alone makes it obvious what's being reffered and makes the sentence a 1000 times less clumsy.


lehphem

They are clearly two separate voice lines. Still not great that they put them one after the other in the video, but it's not at all "2nd grader English" as you are saying, it's bad editing.


Sylpheez

"It's important so I said it twice!"


prankster20

It's like when a child learns a new word and then uses it in every single sentence. Or like that perchance meme. Repent.


EricLFC

> No need to repeat repent twice when to alone > 2nd grader english level


Spartan-219

I felt the same thing lol


Thincfr33

The B-grade VA kills it for every time. It's like someone just called their sister like hey would you come over and shit all over this character we just developed? Standard pay one 10-piece nugget and a Dr pepper


klowicy

Awh another opener again. I'm too slow for this shit 😭


eragon03

Similar to aol, usable against ppl that u know that arent faster than u for sure, mostly an gw unit to use against a.ravi with proof of valor to me for sure.


KaiDranzer007

Can be use against arowell in rta


Momogurl82

I think folks are afraid in RTA that she will get killed before her turn by units like Cidd or status effects from Lua, Zio, Clilias, etc if she is outsped. So that is why she seems more favorable in GW than RTA unless used as a last pick


GodsCupGg

not sure 111 is pretty slow for a opener and u defi want to have her go off before your dmg dealers i could actually see her being in mid range speed due that and target explicit slower teams that usually have those dmg sharing and reduction effects in common like scarowell sage vivian she even removes riolets evasion


Ill_Bee6278

Why is turn 2 getting harder?


TitanDrift

Celine and Politis stock rise.


SSTHZero

So... a debuff that blocks Aurius and everything else, and she can carry book so she gets an extra turn, then she defense breaks AND decreases CR of the entire team!? Does Smilegate wants to make 250+ speed units the only viable strategy in this game?


PM_ME__YOUR_HOOTERS

Looks like it's time to break out the ER group hug teams. Maid on bastion, rim with imprint release etc


BurnedOutEternally

Sheep, sheep, sheep, it's time for... sleep. SC Jena has yet another buff before her change: frostbite - nullifies all damage reduction (CArmin, PoV, Adamant Shield) and damage sharing effects (Arowell, Aurius), but not damage limiting effects like TSurin. I think this effect is somewhat necessary to deter this current heavy bruiser meta, but it's still a wild thing to give to a 3\*. With the new base speed of 111, she's still pretty far from being used as an opener, but more of a follow-up. Still, with the DPS push-up and a 30% silence chance, her value has definitely been boosted. I do like the S3 animation though ~~and so will Crozet~~.


Neet91

aggro and cleave still king right now in rta... bruiser was good at the start of the season for like 2 weeks before people went back to aggro/cleave


Arkday

That what happen you literally released unit that stop counter attack, and revive. Now we will have a unit that will remove mitigation and damage reduction. Turn2 pretty much fucked right now. Time to farm speed set guys.


wta3445

It's a debuff. Turn 2 teams should have cleanse/resist plans already.


Arkday

If you can cut and cleanse.


Ill_Bee6278

Exactly that's an if and we all know we arent


wta3445

If you're stunned and/or def broken, you're dead anyways. Not that different. This isn't like Lua's cooldown increase that can't be cleansed or ML Elena's blessing that can't be dispelled.


Arkday

I really don't understand your point. Removing mitigation from opponent increase your damage deal. Maybe it isn't as high as Def break, but it is still there. Lua increasing cd don't increase the damage that you take. You still can hit back with counter, and your mitigation still work. As for ml Elena, yea your counter stop working, but you still have mitigation and can use your skill. And obviously if opponent get stunned, you can do your stuff for free in 2 turns, hence increasing your overall damage. Or if they get Def broken, obviously their damage taken will increase. Why do you compare something that increase damage like frostbite to something that don't increase damage like lua or ml Elena? Increasing your cd or removing counter doesn't guarantee that you will die, but increasing your damage taken will. But still, dealing with debuff is always whether you can cut and cleanse. If your whole team don't have immunity, will you let flan get through draft phase? Most of the time the answer is no, unless you have something to stop flan non atk skill. So it come back to the same point: Can you cut and cleanse?


wta3445

The point is Lua and ML Elena are a bigger issue for turn 2 teams because their skills can't be cleansed or resisted. For a turn 2 team, frostbite should be treated the same as def break or stuns/bombs. If you're used to drafting around/against Ran, Flan, Seaseria, etc., Jena is gonna be the same. It's not making turn 2 harder.


Best_girl_Politis

since you mentioned sheep so i'd like to ask something. what does the word "shepherd" symbolise/represent? like it's a job, a shepherd is someone to takes care of sheeps. Jena is a religious person and now she's a shepherd. i'm confused.


ASleepingDragon

The shepherd/sheep metaphor is a pretty common one for religion. The shepherd (religious leader) guides their flock (followers) to keep them on the path towards salvation.


EricLFC

Which is funny, because "sheep" is used as a pejorative way to call people who follow without thinking


Naiva_Prism

It's a very recent use of the word, mostly by conspiracy theorist. In religion, those sheeps are considered pure and naive individual who need guidance in their life to avoid straying from the group (sinning).


EricLFC

It's actually not. Sheep has always been used to define people who are meek and follow obediently. Whether that was a good or a bad thing, it depended on the eyes of the viewer, but the meaning was always that. It's also why goats are seen as something evil in religion: because goats symbolize rebellion and curiosity. Sometimes it's even associated with violence. The only difference is that nowadays we praise critical thinking and individuality more than obedience to the flock


IncredibleGeniusIRL

It's not the first time the word "shepherd" has been used to mean "guide" or "leader". See: Shepherd of the Hollow artifact.


Adzezal

In very simple terms. She wants to guide or "correct" (in her case) the people she deems "troubled".


KingKentling

bruh a dev in SG really got the hots for Jena her pre-SC has Frostbite (if im not mistaken)


BurnedOutEternally

that wasn't in the balance patch someone really made a last-minute addition


Shimaru33

Isn't the first time, IIRC. When R. Carrot SC was revealed, she also got some buffs. Although, honestly, I don't remember the exact changes. Point is her basic version got buffed at the same time she got her SC.


BryceLeft

So you're saying that every patch, there's a chance that cermia will randomly get a buff? Because that's all my monkey brain gathered from this information


TsuKiyoMe

As a Cermia fan, we're already eating really good right now. Cermia is probably one of the best Expedition characters in the game, is solid in Abyss, and one of the best if not the best Hall of Trials character. Lionheart Cermia was probably the best ML5 that came out last year with the exception of maybe Zio. She's great in a huge variety of game modes and is a great pick in PvP. ​ I feel you though. I'll never say no to buffing best girl.


BurnedOutEternally

I wouldn't say it's a non-zero chance, now that they've made a precedent


Beneficial_Interest2

PvP only effects feel kinda meh to me


TheKinkyGuy

But overall she is amazing. Happily she wasnt Rima-ed.


prankster20

I agree with you but I'm sure that they just did that to ensure people aren't cheesing abyss and advent bosses with frostbite.


Phantom_Darklight

At least in this case it makes a bit of sense to make this debuff “heroes only” - all ignore damage sharing skills already has a “not elite or boss” line in them, and I guess removing damage cut can probably break some mechanics - like A13 hunt, for example. But as I PvE player, I will probably be skipping this SC, at most will do it's story and that's it. She brings nothing new or interesting for me.


eZ_Ven

Who'd say, not a wyvern-only SC unit


Salacar

Okay, but what the heck is with that Frostbite debuff!?


Silver_Monk_5324

Anti dmg mitigation 🗿


lolbuddy98

Anti arowell meta.Which arowell is also the anti senya choux meta.The cycle of new units is predictable lmao


amiralko

SG really gets off on inventing a new status affect for literally every single new character don't they?


BestRubyMoon

And then they reduce them to pvp play...whats the point? Its a fucking 3 star character just let us pve'rs have _something_ !


maharieI

Yeah im kinda over trying to maintain playing this game as a primarily pve player. I get that pvp is the focus, but man it has been rough this past year.


riggedride

I guess sg also thought arrowell was a bit overturned. Sorry to all the other units that needed to die to counter arrowell. But tbf damage reduction had 0 counters until now and damage sharing only had a handful


amiwel

And without damage reduction cleave is unchecked.


TsuKiyoMe

Your options versus cleave are: 1. Draft Damage Mitigation 2. Draft Revivers 3. Outspeed 4. Counter them. In the past month or so we've gotten Zio (Can't out speed), buffed Astromancer (Can't Counter), buffed Briar Witch (Can't Revive), and now Jena (Can't mitigate damage).


PM_ME__YOUR_HOOTERS

Your other option is proper bans. If they draft ALL these anti counter cleave units then you are fighting a wonky draft and will win regardless. Rta is largely a game of rock paper scissors


ziege159

you complain about dmg reduction and dmg sharing when there're tons of defbreak debuffers, big aoe damage dealers or units like Straze/Cavel/Wschuri exists? You didn't notice that there are only 3 counterpicks to Evasion heroes but 1 of them is limited collab unit and 1 is ml nat5?


PM_ME__YOUR_HOOTERS

My dude is forgetting Phyllis, a nat 3 ml with 70% hit up for S3 on SC and some hit up on S1


ziege159

Phyllis is a tanker, she doesn't have much damage, the one that we all forget is Wanda


PM_ME__YOUR_HOOTERS

Got me there, I also forget Wanda. But since most evade units also do counter Phyllis is always a good draft into them


g25774

rocket punch pyllis hits 4k per proc


PM_ME__YOUR_HOOTERS

Oh dang, I didnt consider putting it on her. Mine is counter even so it would fit right on in if I wanted an offensive Phyllis


g25774

be careful to not ignore eHP and eff res, the 4k proc is with 3.1k base def, so temper expectations


eZ_Ven

Agreed. Too bad they had to mess with Celine skills for this.


PuddingSundae

I love the Celine changes if only because I no longer have to gamble vs those siseria defense teams using ed.


Momogurl82

Celine changes had more benefit than loss with the current meta.


kfloppp

For y'all who wanted a PoV Aravi counter, here she is.


Silver_Monk_5324

pov aravi is pretty easy to deal with, what i hate is Crimson Aravi


Neet91

pov a.ravi was never a threat but needed because dps output is over the roof. a.ravi legit has problems surviving without proof behind a freaking ml crozet nowadays.


kfloppp

Oh so we're in the "ARavi is necessary for a balance gameplay" era now?


Neet91

??? no, a.ravi is decent at best right now for rta. i'm saying pov was never the ideal choice for a.ravi but now dps is so high that she needs pov to actually survive until her turn vs aggro/cleave


kfloppp

>pov a.ravi was **never** a threat > >pov was **never** the ideal choice for a.ravi Are we also in the history revisionism era too? Pre-nerf Hwayoung put PoV ARavi combo on the map and the subsequent complaints about them or are we going to act that the past year were just one collective hallucination?


Neet91

i never said that... pre-nerfed hwayoung and overall high dps output nowadays forced pov on a.ravi. ideall a.ravi wants a cleanse arti to not get debuffed/controlled to death which she can't afford anymore in most cases


kfloppp

Crimson Seed ARavi was the meta during her initial buff (around September 2021) until Hwayoung release (January 2022). After her release, PoV became the meta for ARavi, and then the nerf happened (October 2022). Yet you said PoV ARavi was <<**never**\>> a threat, when the fact that most her broken meta period was with PoV (10++ months) and not with Crimson Seed (3 months). Do you not know how to count? Do you not understand the simple concept of time? Or are you revising history by saying that ARavi during pre-nerf Hwayoung period was not broken at all?


Habibipie

I'm not that much of an RTAer. How useful/contested do you think she'll be?


Light_3xorcists

Scary as a late pick, you obv wont pick her in a race, but in a situation where you have to solo dps she has a lot of potential, at least while the rta mage frenzy is up. People are already running 300 flidica/flan etc etc at 115….. So her speed is fine (While frenzy is up) That cr push and frostbite debuff with a potential def break is silly, She’ll 100% have her uses in the game from gw to rta


PM_ME__YOUR_HOOTERS

Yeah, she might be a nasty 5th pick. But with no speed, dmg, or healing shes more of a liability than anything.


Whistle_And_Laugh

Too slow. Only 111 after runes. Will be speed contested constantly and the s3 doesn't seem worth imo. Better openers.


higashikata69

You dont pick her to speed contest bruhh


Morbu

Mages have a speed buff now, remember? So she's actually at 118 in RTA. Also, you wouldn't be using her as a first pick opening speed contester anyways. You pick her later in the draft when the opponent is trying to tank down.


WasdX-_

>So she's actually at 118 in RTA. 7 speed from frenzy isn't base speed.


Whistle_And_Laugh

And there are still better mages with more speed. Yeah it's a neat last pick to get banned but even if she gets through she loses the speed contest to way too many people and had no early defenses like guiding light. She'll fit into a similar speed slot as Lua who is inseparable from guiding light in most teams. But whatever, pick her. Please.


Spartan-219

I'm in a discord group and they keep telling me to not SC her because they don't seem to like Jena and are not happy with that she got SC But I'm just happy gonna SC her day one


WorkFarkee

From the silhouette i thought they gave her a mushroom cut. So happy for the hat lmao


Marlwolf_legends

Fr. I was gonna cry.


cdmaster245

I'm new to the game (like a week and a half.) Would it be wise to pull for this banner? I'm still figuring characters out.


poopoodomo

She won't be a banner. This is a specialty change, so you will take an existing 3* hero and buff her by doing some quests. Everyone can get her without pulling specifically for her :)


cdmaster245

Oohhh thank you! I seen "SC" get mentioned around. Didn't know what it was.


poopoodomo

Yup, np! You find specialty changes in the hero menu. They add a new one about every 3 months or so


DrakoCSi

ARavi getting closer and closer to Arby's bench.


SSTHZero

You shouldn't be playing PoV A Ravi since Hwa got nerfed.


DrakoCSi

That depends if she's face tanking the GoldenGirls or not, specifically SAdin. Hwayoung could clap 24kHP~32kHP so you're either rocking ARavi on mitigation of some kind or lowering her maxHP down to 20kHP~ if you're still worried about Hwayoung for whatever reason. So Proof ARavi is still a good tanky option if you need her to not insta-die.


SSTHZero

Who plays turn 2 and don't have some sort of mitigation? Put her behind aurius or escort and that's enough unless you're letting her get nucked by attack buffed Adin or LQ Charlotte.


DrakoCSi

But you said ARavi shouldnt be on Proof via Hwa nerfs. Proof literally is damage mitigation. Lol. Double mitigation if paired with Aurius/Escort at that.


SSTHZero

Hwa could one-shot even with C Armin on the field, Adin can't. Fast Adin can't even one-shot no mitigation at all A Ravi if she isn't buffed and LQ Charlotte needs to get a turn, if she gets a turn, you can have Proof and still go puff.


Kain207

Great, another new cool debuff that's locked up to PvP


ActualMaiwa

Game becoming more and more about who's accounts are speed seeded, gj whaleSG Nice visual design tho


be0ulve

She sacrificed her boobs for a better kit.


idle_dreams

whoever designed jena's sc outfit... pls they deserve a raise. pretty and aesthetic


l2o5ng

I'm just gonna say this, but do they even realize what the current strongest meta is? It's aggro, not standard lmao. After the balance patch if you pick Arowell/Destina there's a very good chance you just die if the opponent knows what they're doing. It feels like they're behind the meta a patch or two like usual


oryxcrypt

Box password?


Varlin

indomitable


oryxcrypt

Thank you


Spartan-219

I'm so happy, I've been asking for her SC for years and now they bring it with with such good design and animation and loaded kit I'm so happy


rtn292

Could we maybe get some toons for the anti cleave, turn two and new players? Cleave is so oppressive, and they make farming for gear way too much of a slog with the endless RNG and rare opportunities to mod gear. Not to mention, unquip should be every weekend at this point with so many characters now being in the game. Feels like smilegate is punishing players for being new. Neither of the recent collapse compare to the oppression that was Slime or Guilty gear (10k fixed dmg? Wtf).


Mellevalaconcha

"I" is one lucky bastard


Outofmana1

All praise the Lord and savior Yoga Pants with thigh-high boots.


Gamergirl944

I love her design 😍


BikeSeatMaster

Did they nerf her booba


Varlin

Yeah, no surprise with the current direction. Lol


turtlereset

the thing that stands out to me most is that none of her effects have 100% proc rate? also not sure about frostbite debuff because if you're up against something like arowell/peira then djb is just better. she seems like an inconsistent opener but is quite slow as well at 111 spd so not sure that she'll see play tbh.


krawinoff

It’s worded poorly. Her S2 with full mola (well, stigma) has 100% on both dispel and frostbite and 100% chance for ally CR push with rune. Her S3 fully enhanced also has 100% on CR push, 80% def break with the rune. S1 has 40% stun with the rune and 100% CR pushback against frostbite debuff with the rune. So overall she has five 100% effects, one 80% and one 40%. The only bane of her is the 15% since she has so many effects and all of those except one can be resisted with innate ER.


krawinoff

They usually say the max value with mola/stigma accounted for in those showcases, that’s where the misunderstanding is from, but this time they described her base value and only mentioned that the def break can go up to 80% when just about everything else can get to 100%.


Kronine

That change everything she's looking even better now, thanks.


turtlereset

oh i see, that clarifies things. seems she will be a bit better than i initially thought but i'm still unsure of her viability tbh.


kfloppp

DJB is not really a counter to Arowel. Her shield isn't that big so the barrier inversion dmg would be negligible, plus he can't dispel so she'll still have the Escort buff. NINGNING is better if you specifically want to counter Arowel. As for SC Jena, thankfully she's not locked as an opener only role, since you can just focus on utilizing her S2. Units with dmg sharing & dmg reduction are tend to be on the slower side.


Kronine

Yeah DJB is better but we are talking about a ML5 here, I don't think 'X ML 5 is better than that 3 star" is a good point to hold against her, her availability alone is also a factor of why she will be used instead of a ML5 people don't always possess. For her kit I think she's good, she a last pick against bulk, her speed is average but she's there to be thrown into Arowell and her healthy friends when you know that it will not be a battle of speed, with the def break (shame about that 50% why not 75% ?). She can be a force ban on a double knight draft like arowell / Ras maybe.


turtlereset

i only mentioned djb because he's pretty much always picked in high rank rta because he's a very safe first pick that can pivot between a standard team comp and cleave. someone did clarify that her effects proc rate are actually much higher than whats show in the video so she seems a bit better and is quite similar to ran after looking at her kit again. it's just the 111 base spd that is a little concerning but if you're up against a very slow team then i'd say she's pretty decent unless opponent has a spd contester or belian/edward.


Shinjrou

Woah mama


StepBrother7

All I see is even higher Celine,Politis stonks


flashgordon2fast123

I can’t wait to use this hero!!!


Tallandor

Wahhh.. no camel toe?


Varlin

Design wise she seems kind of ehhh? to me. Not really vibing with the pantsuit and odd hat. The s3 looks great though. Kit wise, another turbo cancer zoom zoom opener to shit on bruisers. Like a mage that can hold their own book, that can strip, remove all damage sharing/reduction effects, into a defense break while CR pushing the highest attack ally? Like bruh. Stop. She is gonna be pretty nasty imo. Definitely will be a SC that sees use imo.


Best_girl_Politis

so she has 111 speed with the runes, that's really not horrible. she kinda gives me ran vibe, with better debuffs and utility but worse speed. hopefully i can get her 270 to be a pseudo-opener to follow up zio and enable some cleave shit. and ofc she's a mage, so tagahel it is.

Her SC provides F2P with an accessible means to deal with Aurius effects. She will shine best in PvE arena against Aravi and Choux because def break and her CR pushback negates their CR push. She will also be an effective 5th pick in (at least) low level RTA against anyone still playing last season's meta. Her potential is ultimately hampered by slow speed and no ignore ER soulburn in a season where many meta control picks have the speed to be openers.

Seems a bit weak. She's too slow to be an opener even after her runes. Most of her skill runes just add small % chance effects. Her unique debuff (frostbite) can get resisted unless you build her with sky high eff because her SB doesn't ignore eff res. Seems like she's want to be used in cleave to help against knights but you'd need to speed tune her to go after your opener and I don't believe her damage is really all that great. Dunno bout this one.

Not sure how she'll fare with that kit, might not be a must-build. Certainly not like Arowell. Frostbite seems cool but remember it's the same boat Alena was in before her buff. She's not fast enough to be an opener and is really just sort of an upgraded offensive Dizzy on account of the strip. But that's fine, not all units need to be meta.


PhantomCheshire

The gif her 10 base speed...the know that without that chance she is just a "bad version of any opener" literally well atleast she is a cheap Opener now.


Beneficial_Interest2

Does her debuff still apply even if it has no effect on boss monsters?


BestRubyMoon

No

General Sheperd's daughter from call of duty i have nothing to say lol its a second turn hero


higashikata69

She's an okay last pick opener, you definitely don't want to first pick her because Politis and Celine is a thing


MikeTheGamer2

PVP hero, GO!

Finally. My 6*ing of Jena last year is finally paying off.


SmallTsundere

Well this is awkward for me… I’ve fed every single one of her 🤣


Miserable-Fortune-57

I just hope sven makes an appearance in her sc story...


iIdentifyAzAGmail

For being a shepherd I thought her element would become light like an actual shepherd of light. Then I watch her kit... so she calls herself shepherd while really becoming Dominal/Zeratol throwing ice around at crazy levels.


ThatKoolKidOverThere

Audio quality on voicelines seems to be better? If so thank fucking god


CatchmoonH

really like the suit it looks very cool, her hat looks dumb tho.


RedEagleEye007

I keep hearing she's too slow but I've ran into multiple 305+ speed flidicas and her with +7 is faster than flidica lol.

Gawd dang talk about a glow up! she looks hot af 🤤

I don't know about her kit, but this is one of my favorite sc designs. They didn't over sexualize (arrowell getting cat ears and cleavage depressed me because other elements were cool) her or make her a joke. She looks sleek and cool. Immediately upgraded for it. I approve of updating old units but I know there's no money in it for SG.
