When Lady D entered the contest in like oh alright she's pretty dope. You use her and your natural instinct is to rank her up, but in doing so you're technically making her far less superior to a lower rarity. Please make that make sense. An alliance mate and I did multiple test against WS his being R3 and mine being R4 both Sig 80 and his kept coming out on top. Yes I do realize that masteries play a part in this but ours are pretty similar. I also did this test with a max 3* and the difference was only 40 hits. I'm just trying to understand outside of basic attacks why would a champ get weaker in a sense after ranking them up.

    Because her ruptures scale with armour rating and not base attack. As you rank her up, her base attack increases but her armour rating does not.

    CR affects armor rating, so ranking up does increase armor. Ascension doesn't increase CR so her ruptures won't go up if she is ascended

    A 6* R3 armor rating is 607 while a 6* R4 armor rating is 658.

    I'm guessing the simplest reason is because she'd be broken if she scaled properly. Instead of reworking/balancing her, let the players have fun with the lower rarities while the higher ones are performing within the expectations Kabam had in mind.

    I have the 6* at r3 and don't intend to rank her up past that since the rank-up materials are needed to scale up other champs who'd benefit more. If she can take the fights she's designed for at that level, then it's a win in my book.

    That’s terrible design.

    She's honestly a big letdown, I was hoping she'd get little tune up but Kabam only made joke of, "haha 3* more damage lol lol" and called it a day.
