How good is sersi, is she worth r3?

Reisthetic

I just got a 6 star sersi is she good in any way?

MiniMF

have her r3 for some defense utility in BG but not use her that much, didn't take the time to try her as an attacker but i've had few good feedback on her, i'd recommend checking on youtube how to play her etc

Good in defence and pretty damage with amazing utility... worth for rankup

I think she is worth the rankup. I'll save the writeup because i see Pikolu has been tagged and they will give a much better reason than i can

Sersi is well worth the rankup. Here's a few reasons why:

1. Glancing is OP. People tend to just think of the defensive value of glancing while also ignoring the fact that glancing also reduces opponent Offensive ability rate by 100%. This means while you have glancing up, Hulkling doesn't get pierce buffs for hitting your block.
2. Sersi is a nightmare on defense if the opponent doesn't have 1 of the 50 champions that hard counters her. It is always glorious when the opponent doesn't have a counter for sersi because that is basically a free win in BGs.
3. Sersi is insanely good on offense. I got an easy guide on how to use sersi which can be found here. I've commonly had 40-60 second NF fights in the VT meta of BGs. Also, once again, glancing is OP with her sig ability because you can tactically activate glancing during NFs sp1 and lose almost none of your health.
4. Sersi can use the CPR increase. All 6* and lower champions have a secret ability called Combat Power Rate, and this rate is dependent on the rank of the champion. A r1 has 100% CPR, and it goes up by 5% per rank, up to 120% at r5. So a r3 Sersi would have 110% CPR, which you'll really start to feel after using her for awhile. While it isn't too important how fast she gets to sp2, it does help end fights much sooner.
5. Sersi is great against opponents with armor ups, or incursion nodes that give you armor ups. She gets a transmutation buff everytime an armor is gotten on either champion and increases special damage per armor up on either opponent.
6. If you like herc, then you'll probably enjoy having Sersi on the team too. Herc ramps up faster by getting a free feat every 10 hits, no intercept or heavies required. Sersi also gets a nice benefit of having guaranteed crits on specials that hit the opponent through block. This allows you to do some pretty insane things, especially against champions like iron man who have armor for days.
7. She's fun.


Hope you learned something helpful.

Have you had a chance to analyse the 8.3 Iron man boss ,Cerastes? Sersi might be great against him. Even Knull and dare I say VTD...

You're going to just have to wait and see. People thought abs man would be good against bahamet, so it is important to actually see the fight before you come to a conclusion.
