How good is Scream?

I haven’t seen a whole lot of her after her release. I saw Allison’s showcase of her nuking a bunch of meta defenders and a few others where she was cooking from a few months ago, but not much since then. I’ve fought so many people and she hasn’t been in 99% of the decks I’ve seen (tbf she is Titan locked for now) so I haven’t really had an idea of how good she actually is

Anyone here with her ranked who’s been using her in BGs etc and had good results? Don’t have her but I wanted to ask before the Titan resets lol

Very very good. Her ideal rotation is SP1 into SP2 but for BG health pools an R3 can usually kill with one SP2, no need of SP1

Good question. Had expiring stuff yesterday and just rank 2ed her, LOL. Hoping I don't find out that was a mistake.

Scream is awesome once you got her rotations down, I rank 3'ed mine and am not disappointed at all

She's insane. Great damage. Great for your average arcades and red skulls and zolas you see on the bgs (Nowadays FAM too). Sp1 and sp2 nukes out everything, although her rotation is little tight. Just don't use her against sentinel and you'll be fine.

Yeah she's great, any mid health pools (300-700k health) she just absolutely shreds. Like others said you want to do the sp1 sp2 rotation and just try to apply as many armor break and bleeds as possible. Even when fighting bleed immune champs she still smacks because she just applies two armor breaks instead of one. She is one of those champs that is such a nuke you can sort of ignore a lot of aspects of the fight. Not the best for long-term content but I used her a lot in 9.2 and she was incredible.

She's actually quite good for longform. Cycle between sp1 and sp2. Used her in abyss symbiote run, worked really well. Sp3 once and then sp1 and sp2 to nuke things out.

Oh she works well for Zola? That’s awesome, makes her even more valuable. I assume she could nuke champs like Photon and Bullseye too but she’d take some damage

Thanks for the insight everyone!

She's pretty good. She doesn't excel with nodes that require you to wait out certain mechanics or nodes that interrupt her main 5 hti combo rotation as she will lose her debuffs and/or fervor if you wait too long however, when she can be offensive, she SHREDS!!!
Unfortunately she gets overshadowed by medusa, I personally haven't used her as much as I thought i would.

I recently discovered a great and faster rotation for her ( i think I got it from either msd, Allison or DApplChamp on YT)
You start by charging heavy before the fight starts, then M-M into another heavy charge then MM into another heavy charge then MLLLL into sp1 then MLLLL till sp2 ( i know it sounds confusing but its probably her best rotation) This rotation Basically builds up your main buffs for you (including the 2 energizes)
I wish I could explain it simpler but its best shown in a video

I was hyped for her but seen that hardly any higher ranked players in BGs run her . You can only fit 30 champs and the other cosmics have dual use value

I feel like more people would run her in their decks if she had this synergy built into her kit. She feels so much better with it

MaxtheSilent

She’s fantastic. A lot more utility than I first realized. Can do great damage but she’s clutch in a lot of different match ups.

Same I haven’t seen much of her from whales that I’ve fought. They sleep on champs all the time though, but you’re right, she’s not really a dual threat (I know she has some minor defensive abilities tho). Kinda boils down to how good of an attacker she is, seems like she does have the raw damage to take out a lot of threats so I’m interested to see if we see more of her after this Titan reset

Great but is she better than Medusa? Scream has armor breaks and bleed, but Medusa has armor breaks, bleed and armor shatter

Ghostboytjie

Shes good. The rotation I use is :

Autoblock
MLLLL
Autoblock
MM or you can LLLMM
Sp1
Autoblock
LLLML
Autoblock till sp2

Doesn't really matter to most of us. Medusa's a rare 7-star that most people don't have. I certainly don't have her.

Yeah it's tricky but her autoblock buff allow you to autoblock non contacts hits without consuming the autoblock, so eventually he'll throw. A contact hit and gets stunned, so you can throw. A heavy.

Scream isn't an exclusive champ, not to mention she can still deal with opponents that are either bleed or armour break immune. Very few are immune to both. Plus the autoblock with heavy and the oh so satisfying burst damage on SP2

N8buckeye08

She’s actually really good for incursions with buff corn and the non damaging debuff regen hacks

N8buckeye08

Also massively helpful for epoch of pain debuff path

I only have Medusa from the picky picker selector. She's better than Scream in my opinion, but Scream is still great.

Does her dupe help a lot in BGs? Or fine to R3 unduped? Thanks.
