I'm very biased but Storm X is very good. Especially on defense lol people tend to underrate how much she can slow ya down.

People will spam disagree but none of you have Storm X at R3 so I don't want to hear it 😌

OG is undoubtedly the better attacker as she hits a decent bit harder while also handling a couple more matchups. She also has more potential for cheesy matchups based on how she gains her prowess.

PX is definitely the better defender but she’s not gonna hold up at more competitive levels since she has a decent few counters and a pretty small healthpool.

Silly question, but who are her good counters? Her glance always slows me down.

Anyone with power drain removes her tempests which makes her a defensive noodle or just anyone who gets a lot of their damage payout on specials since they can’t be glanced.

For the first category champs like Red skull fantman and peni (and I think HB he has power drain right?) all obliterate her. In the second category some examples are Chavez Hulkling Warlock Galan etc. Then there’s also shocker who even after being changed to not get around glancing will still do enough damage to kill her with his heavy glanced lol.

A tad bit more seriously, Nemesis_17 is correct in that any form of power drain (or power lock) disables her tempests and thus her glancing, which exposes her poor defensive stats. Other suggestions in this category include Prowler and Nimrod. The suggestion of champs that deal big special damage is also good, but I’d personally be a bit wary of champs like Galan and Hulkling who technically deal most of their damage in big specials but have their ramp significantly slowed down by having their basics glanced.

I’d also look out for champs that ignore AAR, which removes a lot of the threat of glancing. Champs like Vox, LDS, Ultron, and SIM can all reasonably take Storm X without too much fear.

Thanks. I've never read her kit and didn't know that power drain removed her tempest. I don't know how y'all keep everything straight. Thanks for the know. I know that it was a noob question too.

Pyramid X was a good defender around the time 7* first came out. Dust is now the new and improved version of her

Both can easily be controlled by prowess removers, so I would go with the better attacker OG Storm.

Nah pyramid x can shoot right up into somewhat meta defender category if people actually ranked her up.
I don't see a lot of pyramid X on BG(thank God) but the few times I face her when I'm off guard I RAGE. She and sersi will SLOW YOU DOWN it's insane how both are slept on.
Back early this year when I started regularly playing BG I would place my r1 storm and she would nearly always bring me the win she stalls so much.

And sersi is just on a whole nother level as her glancing cannot be cheesed by special attacks and have such a low off time. But she can be taken by a tigra, longshot or anyone who has a fateseal or means of preventing her glancing buff as even nullify fails when it's active.

If the community discovered how well both performed on defense they would definitely be staples in the defensive category like how killmonger became one.

After saying this, I've definitely convinced MYSELF and will be r2ing by pyramid X pretty soon and wouldn't mind pulling a 7* sersi as mine is just a r4 asc and was winning me alot of matches last GC meta

Power drain remove her tempest, and she can't glance. Tech champs immune to aar still glances on basics, but they can inflict their abilities (like lady deathstrike). She also gains a lot of prowess so any champ who can utilize it works well (nimrod, iron man, shocker). Finally she can't glance special attacks so huge special nukes can wreck her.

@NONYABIZZ agree with sersi. One will think she's easy to counter until you actually have to fight her. Most mystic champs nullify, stagger and neutralize on basic hits, but if she triggers her glance buff before applying stagger or neutralize you're done.

Nah no worries it’s a pretty niche point of knowledge I didn’t know about it for a while

Ah I forgot about Galan’s mass getting glanced, yea he wouldn’t work. Hulkling is still fine though since his main ramp is from the sp2 so all you really need is 2 pierce to not get glanced which isn’t too unreasonable to get.
