I have my 6* Misty at r3. She isn't the flashiest champion but her access to constant unblockable attacks and guaranteed crits is amazing. I tend to use her as a counter to a lot of annoying auto-blocking champions such as Peni or Modok. She was great against them in EOP and she's been putting in a fair amount of work in BG as well. Whenever someone has a beefy Peni, they tend to ban the most obvious options (Galan and Hulkling) but they forget that she is a superb counter as well. She has also netted me quite a few wins on defense as well since she can be a bit tricky to fight with her random shrug-offs and evades (plus unblockable, guaranteed crits).

Who s better, Misty or Black Cat? It's a somewhat tricky question since they solve different problems. I've personally found a lot more use for Black Cat than I have for Misty in Battlegrounds (which is the only thing I've really played recently). Then again, Misty has proven herself in the EOP in a way that Black Cat hasn't (yet).All of that being said, I will probably r4 Black Cat next. I have no immediate plans to r4 Misty. I might in the future - the thought has certainly crossed my mind since I do like her - but Black Cat is just so dominant in BG that it's a no-brainer for me at the moment.
She reduces the opponent's defensive ability accuracy, similarly to Falcon. While she starts at 0% reduction, it goes up by 2% for every hit in her combo (or 4% when fighting Science champs), up to 60%. So the ramp-up is 30 hits against non-Science champions and 15 hits against Science champions (which is just over two combos, since she has a 6 or 7-hit combo). The main thing about her after that is her Heist. It has a 45-second timer and when it ends (either by the timer running out or by you throwing an SP2), it can do one of two things. Either it gives her a Vicious passive that increases her DOT damage by 50%, or it places a Sabotage debuff on the opponent that grants her another 40% DAA reduction. I use her for the latter unless I somehow find myself in a situation where the opponent doesn't have anything that I want to shut off. When that Sabotage debuff is up, it 1) is paused every time an effect fails to trigger, and 2) deals direct damage every time an effect fails to trigger. It is similar to how Falcon gains increased critical rating/more damage every time an evade fails to trigger while his lock-on is active, but useful in more situations.For example:* She's my go-to Hulkling counter since she shuts off his regens/indestructibility after a while.* She's an amazing Thing counter since she turns off his rock stacks.* She is great at keeping Rintrah's mystical charges at bay.* She can be a great iBom counter unless you get really bad RNG and end up with a bunch of poisons on you before you shut those down. That has happened to me once or twice, but she's usually pretty safe.* She's great at countering Nick Fury since she prevents him from gaining his charges (other than from his SP1).* She shuts down shrug-off abilities so she can be a great counter to Mole Man, Kingpin, Agent Venom etc.* She shuts down annoying evade champions.* She shuts down Electro.I'm constantly finding more and more uses for her. What's so great about is that, while her main debuff is bleed, she's great against bleed immune champion as well since she does so much direct damage with every failed effect on them (assuming they have those kinds of effects to begin with). That's why she's such a great Thing counter. She punishes him and deals extra damage with every strike. As soon as you've thrown your SP2, he just melts.
