    When I first saw her my mind was spiraling out of control

    She looks OP, so did shathra, but nowadays people don't get "excited" pulling her. So let's give it some time lol

    From the videos it looks like more people seem to be excited about Spiral

    She's a must have for me. Her look...those 6 arms and fighting style are insane. I am both aroused and frightened 😂

    Dazzler has those massive bursts though… but I have been asking for spiral for a while so… 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

    I got excited pulling Shathra🤣. She’s been OP so far. The regen off the sp3 is goated for longer fights. The damage is pretty dang good. Easy rotation. Counters a lot of OP buff gainers. Only thing is trying to time that heavy right sometimes is a little risky

    CCP are always excited about every champ tbh. If there's any hesitation then it's a terrible champ.
    Ccp cant be trused on first impressions as they glazed even Negasonic

    Have you tested her in SoS?

    Are you able to easily keep her rotation against Toad or Adam?

    This feels like a weird question. Why would you use Shathra against SoS Toad or Adam? She gains no buffs so she can’t do Adam without something like Odin prefights (which gets ruined if you intercept once). There’s nothing explicitly preventing her from working against Toad I guess but I don’t rate the strategy of using a non-poison immune against him, especially since her playstyle tends to be aggressive and not leave you room to dash around and remove the poisons.

    She looks fantastic. Watched the gameplay, watched creators who always tell it as it is and she looks like a strong BG champ and general use champ. Tons of utility with great damage

    And most importantly, a fantastic Serpent counter, probably better than Shathra. Serpent’s reign of terror will finally come to an end once she enters the Titan

    Yet they have the tendency to underrate and overlook certain champions who end up becoming really powerful. For example look at Overseer when he was first released,

    I think she looks great - particularly given my affinity for Mystic champs. However, I’m not currently inclined to pull the trigger on the bundle. With Cyberweekend and Banquet around the corner, I think if I’m going to spend I’m going to spend there. I will probably focus some of those investments on Titan heavy offers though to increase my chance of pulling her as a 7* when the titan pool changes over. If i don’t pull her then I’ll just keep banning Serpent.

    Great designs and animations. Good damage too. Seems Kabam really likes making power steal mystic champs?

    All these videos did was showcase spiral against a 200k/300k healtpool with NO NODES and nothing what so ever and just pull the trigger and shoot her up to "AMAZING".

    I thought champs used to be ranked based on versatility on tough nodes and how reliable, consistent and resilient they were when nodes interrupted their basic rotation not just by how easy it is to take out a 200k starlord with a r3. Also how they fared against a lot of various defensive threats and matchups.

    No personal hatred towards spiral or the creators, there's no denying she's going to be a good champion in the game. Lots of utility in her kit by just reading but CC'S should try and EVALUATE a champion further than just that SPECIFIC quest before coming to a CONCLUSION.

    She looks great, but I’m more excited for dazzler

    Good evening, I just got her from the arena. Have a lot of testing to do with her but once I am finished, a Champion review will be posted. Stay tuned
