2nd Best Mystic Defender?

Polygon

Sassy/Rintrah are the opposite of Kindred, as they arent hard to fight but they have massive health and stall mechanics (for BGs)

Kindred on the other hand, although he can eat at your health if you dont play him properly, he has a very tiny healthpool and no tankiness

Kindred

Sassy is good in both offense and defense but he could be easily encountered by Luke Cage, Sentry, Piggy, Silk and so on. And even skill mistakes happen when fighting against him, there is still place for remedies. He fits those nodes which can provide buffs to attacker or purify debuffs on himself much better.

Rintrah is a weak version of Sassy in defense in my opinion. He needs specific nodes to shine in defense, especially those which have restrictions of knocking down.

Kingdred is like 7* version of Mephisto. He has some utilities in offense while he is more deadly in defense. You can still counter him via Luke, Naferia, Mr. Negative or Piggy, even Jaggy. But there is little place for remedy if you couldn’t control his charges within a proper range. It needs much more concentration and exercise to defeat him. Or you may lost most of your health in his last root phase unless you have enough power or you get degen resistance or you place confusion on him. He fits most of nodes so that you can bring him in your bg team every season.

At last, when it comes to the cost of materials investing, Kindred > Sassy > Rintrah. Kindred needs high sig and Sassy needs duped at least while Rintrah could be used in defense even unawakened. Actually Rintrah doesn’t need high sig if you want to use him in offense sometimes(his power is uncontrollable when he is high sig).

I am curious who you are defining as the best defender? Enchantress?

Based on your list, would go Kindred > Sasquatch > Rintrah but I would rather face Sassy than Rintrah in BGs. Rintrah is too tanky and Sassy goes down faster. Kindred is first due to unavoidable damage.

@Ansh_A enchantress.

Looks like the community is evenly divided between Kindrah and Rintrah.

I’m not sure where people go wrong fighting kindred, he’s never too much trouble for me, I bring silk and she does the job.

she also does most mystics pretty well so who knows

The thing with Kindred is, if you mess up, it’s a 99 percent chance you lose the round.

This is simply not correct, everyone knows Chavez is better on defense than Enchantress

It was almost impossible to not lose health in the power shield meta

Sasquatch

Lets be real, nobody is struggling against a kindred or enchantress with a little matchup knowledge (thanks for the disagrees in advance). Sasquatch and Rintrah are STUPIDLY tanky, hard to nuke even with the best science options available, and in general with any attacker due to how big their healthpools are. They are not by any means difficult to fight, but often times you are forced to bait their specials which they throw on repeat, especially with mystic dispersion. Kindred and Enchantress are good against lower level players/players who refuse to read up on their abilities and find ways to counter (or if they just have really bad AI which we can’t escape), but Sasquatch and Rintrah have deviously large healthpools and resistances that are so annoying to go up against.

Chavez isn’t even relevant on defense with all these op science attackers

Oh believe me ive been preaching that Chavez isnt a dual threat for months. I said that as banter due to the comment having her in the top 4. I expected forum users to have a sense of humor (not targetting you but the people that mass disagreed)

I gotta say i agree with @kvirr And @ChaosMax1012 . If you can punish kindreds special (sp2 is very easy to punish, sp1 has a trick to punishing) and save a relic then you are golden. He would need additional nodes like root or something, but on his own he doesnt pose much threat to me

Most players disagreeing are likely thronebreaker and under so I understand why a defender like enchantress would seem impossible to them, and how America Chavez could beat on them due to them allowing her to push to unblockable special 2. But as they advance and master all these champs (for those capable), they will realize the truth in the end.
