I think he could use a little tune up, faster charge gain and/or slower decay in non target matchups wouldn’t be game breaking at all. And personally, I’d like to see the kit have some interaction with crit rate/damage - more armor pen, coldsnap bursts, gain charges, something. Or something on the heavy? Something else to keep the loop interesting while you’re just building charges, hitting the opponent, waiting.

But… with how long it takes now for rebalance, it’s pretty pointless to get excited for a possible update. They’ll review his kit in what, 6 months, so around February 2026? And even if they decide he needs a tune up, it would be another long wait until we get one. It could be a year or more before Solvarch gets any attention. By that time we’d have the last Eidol in game, and time for two or three more Deathless/Eidol-cadence champ releases. It would be like if Deathless Vision was updated in a few months from no- oh, yeah.

Yelena is for NOW!!! She will fall off so hard lol. However, she'll still be relevant on AW and endgame content defense simply because you'd have to deal with the reversal but for BGs as soon as they start releasing more mutants with daunted, she'll die just like that because there's barely anything you have to play around with her. Her biggest threat is that damage cap which (FOR BGS) can be avoidable by giving a mutant good damage and daunted. I haven't read her kit but from the deep dive I saw her combo meter going down as well so it seems Cassandra even has a way of stopping combos.

Bullseye on the other hand is still wrecking and with power gain metas, she's alot more of an issue. Maybe my opinion will change once I get ntw and other Bullseye counters but for now, im still scared of him.

Yelena, bullseye has too many counters now

I feel like a lot of the counters aren't as prominent like Gentle is kinda mid for most matches, Dazzler needs high sig , negasonic is slow, sinister is slow.

Plus the BGs nodes usually cut his counters even more

But all of them have one thing in common, it's an easy fight with full health bar. Time is pretty much irrelevant these days unless you play in Mysterium and above where everyone does every fight with full health 90% of the time and it really does come down to speed. I usually place in Quantum and I still use NTW Sinister and Gentle against him pretty much all the time and still win here and there.

Also, those aren't the only Bullseye counters, there are other options you can use like Onslaught Bastion Cyclops Okoye Odin HM and Nova who can also do it although they do take a little bit more block damage than the first ones you mentioned and they're also a bit harder to use. Whole point tho is Bullseye has a lot of counters these days, Yelena not so much, the only reliable ones are DPX Jean Onslaught Gentle Cassandra and Sinister that's it.

Why doesnt his heavy work ? His charges do absolutely nothing but in yelenas kit (unawake version) it says she caps opponents attack at 60% at the beginning of the fight but your gaining the extra attack during the fight so surely his heavy should be just reduced by 40% ? @DNA3000 any chance you could clear this up for me ? Thanks

“While being attacked, she caps her target’s Attack Rating at 60% of what it was at the start of the fight.”

I’m not sure if this is a translation glitch, but the English description says Yelena caps attack rating to 60% of what attack rating was at the start of the fight, not that she caps attack rating at the start of the fight only.

I am English mate haha, I just didnt know if the description meant you have a 40% reduction at the start of the fight but it means is if your attack is 1000 and she makes it 600 then no matter what happens you cant go above 600
