Look solid, keep in mind that effect from Parallel Dimensions can stack, result in many good utility, like reserve power gain, armor buff reduction to nothing more than a non-effect buff, and from suffer –20% Duration, so 3 matching stacks seem have 30s, 24s and 18s, still very long.
Also ppl forget her sig ability make her dimension ramp up more, and it's give potency to Dimensional Energy Infusion, which give her +100% atk at 3 , +300% atk at 9.
Look like she's a high sig champ, also i have to see her crit base, if it's too low then i am not sure about damage...

I’m getting She Hulk vibes in terms of value and skill requirements.We shall see but I think she’s going to be solid but require high skill level. People will probably overlook her until they see a YouTuber wreck some content with her. But I do fear her reliance on high signature and high skill won’t be equally rewarded so she’ll sit on the bench.

I’m hoarding for her featured crystal anyway. Hopefully I’ll have a decent amount of shards by then and an get her and mess around. I think with her design aside, she’s got some stuff that’s good and I want her.

I don’t think she’s going to be the craziest champ, that much I can tell from the significant lack of utility. The damage is looking good in buff heavy matchups, and I’m certainly hoping the regen on the SP2 makes her somewhat suicide friendly, although that remains doubtful.

The energy resist looks to take to long to ramp up to allow her to take incinerate, which or coldsnap stuff, which is especially worrying since Aarkus is listed as one of her strengths

However, the ability power gain easily to reduction looks potentially incredible. Within two heavy attacks she can completely shut down and reverse it, and that looks sustainable throughout the rest of the fight afterwards. That’s potentially incredible since it is neither a buff or a debuff. Could make her one of the best Hyperion, Mordo, Dragon Man, Mangog and Spite counters. This alone could give her a definitive place in the game, and is enough to make me interested in her

She could also be really good for stuff like Resistor.

But overall, she just looks like an absolute blast to play. She reminds me of wasp; in a good way, but I think with some better utility and hopefully better damage

Depends on how reliably stackable Dimensions are.

Her utility could be amazing for certain nodes and abilities, particularly the Power Mitigation and Buff Potency Reduction, but only if you can reliably stack Dimensions.

That said, I don't know the mechanics behind Potency Reduction. If you face a +200℅ Fury, does the Fury drop to (200-70) or (200*0.3)? What about passives? Etc.

That's assuming I read it right, where there's nothing saying you can stack these specific effects.

Aside from that, her healing looks potentially nice, but it could just 'look' nice. Especially from my perspective, as she uses specials a ton and I run suicides.

As with most new mystics, the lack of a nullify is concerning, but her potential (as read) utility could make up for it. That'll make or break her for me.

I love Dragon Man to death, for instance, but I haven't ranked him up. Why? Mystic class is full of fairly uncommon utilities, so champs with those utilities get my cats first. As a durable beatdown champ he's great, but that's not exactly a small niche.

@The_Sentry06, btw, all the bonuses that incorporate the dimensions say UNIQUE, which only equates to 3. Not the 9 total that she can acquire

@Hera1d_of_Ga1actus she also gains the bonus for each buff on the opponent

Hercules is way better, not even close

I thought it meant each buff but you also had to have the 3 unique dimensions, still capping it out at 3

All I want to know is Blade gonna get his Danger Sense against her?

yeah but I’m saying she can still get the nine total

If you bring Mephisto or Dormammu!

I’m curious if her buff potency reduction stacks as well. For example, an opponent’s furies essentially become weaknesses, armor ups become armor breaks, etc.

That would be a cool, unique mechanic. Don’t know how frequently it would come up, but imagine fighting a colossus who actually becomes squishier for every armor up he has.

I wondered about this. @Kabam Miike how will this work?

It says on her ability page that she will be able to “invert their effectiveness.” So inverted Fury Buffs will lower Attack while inverted Armor Ups lower Armor Rating instead of increasing it.

If that’s the case, then she definitely has some cool utility. There are all kinds of nodes and matchups that stack armor and fury and she’ll be amazing for them. The bigger the buff, the more detrimental it will become when inverted.

If she's not a "Dimensional Being" after dimension this and dimensional that I'm going to be annoyed.
