Heck of a defender. Gains power like a madman. Not sure if it was just the node or her kit

I'm sure I wouldn't make a deal with her

Seems like she will do to Dark Phoenix what Galan did to Peni.

All the content creators are already saying she’s the greatest mystic of all time lmao. She wasn’t super tough to fight but a little annoying

NONYABIZZ

Need to see non cosmics first but yes, before the videos I thought she'd be mid with underwhelming damage but the CC'S have convinced me otherwise.

No rush tho, need to see how effective she is outside the cosmic class first but she does seem pretty good and I personally like champs who can heal.

Well from the videos, it looks like she’s great for Serpent, Maestro, DThanos and Dark Phoenix, but how about others? Onslaught, Red Skull, etc

If the non cosmic attacker is poison immune they should be able to counter her pretty easily

NONYABIZZ

Such an overrated defender. Fought her twice blindly in bg without knowing how her defensive kit works and she got decimated both times. One of which was by dazzler(who uses buffs).

All I did was bait sp2's, dex and nuke

You could've swore she was enchantress the way the community were talking bout her defensively.

Dazzler is immune to nullify, so she has that in her favor, but if you are immune to poison or nullify she is not a difficult fight

Nico uses buff immunity not nullify so dazzler doesn't really have an advantage.

So far I've used dazzler and Silk 2 champions who don't gain the dex buff so even while I had buff immunity active, they weren't taking poison damage because they weren't gaining buffs.

With dazzler baiting sp2s and waiting for the buff immunity to fall off is the only thing you have to worry about in the fight and still its an easy 40+ second fight.

Oh yeah, that's right

BigBlueMadness11

Shes too strong offensively. Kabam is going to nerf her.

well that's because they are both very hard counters. Silk especially

The science staples like like spam silk swomen (likely) photon and others can easily do her.

Offensively she is broken easily the best 7* mystic champ for bgs. She can take every cosmic defender with ease and literally any defender with buffs.
