Where’s my bug repellent?

I'm excited now, she looks very good for Serpent, probably the best.
Edit: She's dual threat too, I think this is already looking better than Gladiator, can't wait to test her.

Looks creepy enough

and those spider totem thingy giving spider verse champs different effects is cool

glad I voted her after Ruby Thursday Lost in round 1

Squidopus

Yep, her wasps are DOT, so Serpent doesn’t reduce the damage. With vulnerabilities to counter his resistance up, she looks to be one of the best Serpent counters. The atrophy is only 70% but that’s still enough to remove most of the threat of death immunity as well, just not quite as well as Mojo but good enough.

She looks pretty good. I take ny statement back. Her damage in right matchups is insane. Her playstyle seems to be bit risky, but highly rewarding.

Her bursts damage shouldn't be reduced by serpent right? Also her power steal combined with atrophy is great against serpent. If her damage can't be reduced, she is probably one of the best counters (like chavez and kush).

best thing is the atrophy refreshes with each special and also removes stand your ground

good for serpent

I think its the strongest atrophy i believe of non stacking versions since enchantress is 30% doubled with sp2

It won't cause it's not burst, it's energy dot so dread does nothing.
Hands down best Serpent counter this year, my faith has been restored, finally a banger attacker.

Wolf911

not that good defender but great attacker

but that's what we needed after soo many dud attackers

Is it fairly easy to pull off the long heavy charge into special ? Also nice seeing an apoc for spider verse champs

ShashankGupta

I would say every summoner choice is very unique from each other but I really want a character whose yellow no. And red no. Both should be high
Yes gladiator yellow no. can be high but he still a dot type of champ and yet another we got summoner choice whose main source is dot
I really want to know when will be getting a champ whose yellow and red no. will be high? 😅

Squidopus

Some of these totem abilities are pretty banger too, here’s three of them I find particularly interesting. Notably Miles no longer needs to complete his blocking mission to get in the zone and easily trigger miss, great for champs that are almost always unblockable. Gwen, punk, and Spidey supreme also have bonuses.

Relic + heavy is the way to go.

Yes as the designer of her mentioned they gave her a long reach heavy so u can connect heavy into sp2 from a distance

For me one i liked most was gwen since having a pause when stunned opponent for trap and hunter thats nice as means even more damage u can get and possibly nice sp2s also

Spiderman and spam bonuses are great as well. The spam bonus is very good against passive defenders.

No bonuses for silk?

DEFINITELY 4.5/5 they got it right this time. That r3 Maestro in the deep dive went down in 35 secs, boy did I miss the nukes.
@Emilia90 it finally happened 🥲 and she counters Serpent so well too cause it is energy dot not burst.

Nope i had to check as i was so hoping there would be one but still she at least gets the cross fight poison immunity

Qs is burst and herc is raw damage + burst.

EdisonLaw

I'm excited now, she looks very good for Serpent, probably the best.
Edit: She's dual threat too, I think this is already looking better than Gladiator, can't wait to test her.

I don’t think she’s a dual threat, only 2/5 on defense

I thought she would be cause of the dot during her special activation it's unavoidable damage, but I guess if you don't get hit she can't place anything on you in the first place.

Doesn't matter though, she looks like an absolute nuke already and she counters Serpent, that's good enough for me.

That's what I said only hercules has that potential to do raw damage with burst waiting for a day when we see another hercules of course without immortality to not make him a god tier champ 😂

Issue is though if people know she counters him u probs wont get a chance to pick as she would be a insta ban

Squidopus

I do sorta wonder why they bothered making her egg build up RNG. Like the numbers are consistent enough that it’s not likely she’s gonna be defined by the RNG but it still feels like an unnecessary design choice. Guess it’s just sorta flavor.

Personally I don't think people will waste bans on her just like people don't waste bans on Sinister even though he turns Bullseye into a joke, but Serpent is a worse defender than Bullseye so that might change, or maybe it won't, we'll see once she's out.

Well the sinister might also change with his 7 and being r3

So how do you guys rate summoner choice champs including Shathra

EdisonLaw

Well Herc is obviously #1 for sure

ItsClobberinTime

So how do you guys rate summoner choice champs including Shathra

Herc > Shathra > QS > Gladiator (pre buff)
Herc > Shathra > Gladiator (post buff) > QS
