Not the Skill I Wanted, But…

Fifth failed attempt at Shang, but this was a more interesting result than the first four.

Jabari seems complicated. She may be decent as a ride along synergy partner, but I don’t have enough exposure to her to decide if she’s worth more than a token investment.

Does she solve any problems?

    Congrats, you pulled the built-in masochism champ. She doesn’t look very meta at this point, but her abilities are bound to have nodes that she excels at, including defending

    She’s crazy good for nodes that periodically place debuffs on you. The cav nodes from last month where every few seconds you got a debuff really showed her power. I love her

    You should probably try her out in situations where you get debuffs placed on you...After all cleanse was her most hyped ability when she was released.

    She’s pretty darn cool. I’m debating r2ing and r3ing my six star one. If I awaken her from the featured than I’ll definitely r3 her.

    She's all about managing Evade/Miss. She seems less good at it than Falcon, but with a stronger payoff, at least in short term fights.

    This is from her Spotlight:
    Once Jabari Panther has at least 10 Huntress Charges, remove them and Hunt the Opponent for 9 second(s)....
    While the Hunt is on, the Opponent cannot trigger the Dexterity mastery, Evade, or cause Attacks to Miss... Jabari Panther is Stun Immune and gains a Precision Buff, increasing Critical Rating by +8400...Whenever Jabari Panther Purifies a Debuff, or the Opponent fails a Miss or Evade, Pause the Hunt and all Fury Buffs on Jabari Panther for 2 second(s).

    The highlighted words make me think of the way Falcon works in the Labyrinth. He stacks up Cruelty endlessly because of the Mark of the Labyrinth granting a 6% (I think) Evade chance.

    Has anyone tried Jabari in the Labyrinth? From the wording of her abilities, it sounds like you could pause The Hunt every time you hit the opponent, and stretch it out pretty impressively. It'd eventually Falter because you'll need to bait out Specials, but I reckon should could do some pretty good Damage whilst it was running.
