    I have the 5* at R3. She’s good, and I’m many ways unique. She’s like Tigra, where there’s a high skill level required. She’ll be great vs champs that have a lot of projectiles.

    She does teeter on the niche though.

    There is a lot to her kit, but to make her a top champ without showing significant end game content being beaten by her (repeatedly) is just hyping her arena score more.

    did you miss the videos? she's already been proven to beat a whole bunch of act 6 and 7 bosses including the grandmaster

    Too early to judge
    But she definately looks like top of the game

    Not so fast.

    She is a great champ , but don’t overhype.

    Didn't read that, but I do consider her a top 5 mutant. Easily, actually.

    It's not about what she can do, but what others can't. It might be different if she was a noodle in exchange, but she's pretty clearly not.

    What about the fact kitty loses prowess if shes hit with a basic combo while phasing? Doesnt this mean you cant juse use the phase to evade specials unlike ghost that can do it without punishment?

    And isn’t it also annoying that after her specials she loses her prowes so you have to re-ramp her and use sp1 again?

    she's easily top3. anyone not wanting to agree is just keeping blindfolds on deliberately. no problem with that..

    I think it takes a bit more time than this to really tell. If all champ hype in the first week or so of their release was true Stryfe would be better than Aegon.

    Kitty is well on the way to becoming a top champ, and my guess is she would. But until we see more of her, and until that initial hype dies down, I think anyone saying definitively that she’s top X is a bit premature.

    Although equally, anyone saying she’s bad, or not top X, is also premature. Like I said, either way it’s too early to say.

    sorry to necro this from a few weeks ago, but it seems that my prediction panned out pretty well. obviously we can't say that she's top 5 mutant yet since it's only been 3 weeks, but i've seen some amazing stuff. also wanted to use this to showcase some great kitty pryde gameplay by a great youtuber, @BitterSteel

    Eh I think it's pretty safe with Kitty. She has something unique to the mutant class unlike Stryfe who really just has massive damage potential once ramped up. While he can miss and go unblockable as well, neither is remotely as easily used or accessed as Kitty's.

    She was quite possibly the fastest awakening and R3 I've ever had after just pulling a champ. I think her defensive potential was overestimated by a lot but that her offensive potential was almost underestimated.

    That’s a fair point, they are different cases. I do agree that it’s safer with Kitty, but regardless of how good a champ seems I think it’s always good to wait and see how they perform in at least the next month or so.

    I’d be very surprised if Kitty didn’t end up being one of the top champs in the game though.

    Is she worth a generic 6* at this point?

    I would in a heart beat

    Think about using Namor with only 80% reduction, it’s not nearly as useful as 100%. You’ll need her duped to deal with Sp3s, massive damage you want to avoid etc

    Also if you’re using her against true focus you’ll need her awakened to pause phasing and get that power gain.

    @udyedagain but Kitty’s abilities are almost perfect for the GM.

    He can’t miss, so she has a safety net with her phase. She can tank his sp2 and take 0 damage, not to mention combos.

    She has a very high crit rate which is perfect for wounded.

    She has an easy intercept mechanic with her phase, meaning low risk for the phase 1 intercepting

    She has a damage over time effect on sp1 for phase 2, usually the most failed challenge. She has a high crit rate for that challenge, and easy intercept for that challenge.

    Phase 3 She is immune to reverse controls with Emma synergy.

    Phase 4 there is no harm here. You intercept him, or he intercepts you and guess what, phase is paused you take no damage and he could hit you all day.

    Yes, anyone can beat the grandmaster, but some champions make it easier to beat the Gm, you must see that? It’s a great showcase of her abilities

    This. While yes a whole host of champs can solo that fight, I don't think any can do so as safely as Kitty can

    Would she also great for Gwenmaster as well?
    Immune to Reverse control for (ironically) Emma phase, Gwenmaster's can't miss plays well with Kitty's phase, easy intercepts to pause the Countdown timer.
    Potentially ignore damage back from Killmonger's Vibranium armor, as well as Coldsnap from Aarkus.

    One potential question would be if you are Phased when the Countdown timer is at zero - would you be stunned and would you ignore the damage if you failed to remove the plot armor?

    It would depend on your roster and who else you already have and need. For me personally I'd have used one on her but I have most champs that need awakening already duped. So depending on what you have already and whether or not you legitimately enjoy and can use her, I'd say so for sure.

    Thank you. This thread helped me re-evaluate her for the better.
