    Everybody knew it, I think.

    Steal is much better than burn, IMO. Harder to come by and if your goal is to completely shut down their power, stealing some to help cycle your specials is preferable to the additional damage. I don’t need any more damage dealers, they’re a dime a dozen. But lock down power control? That is something else entirely and we don’t see it much these days.

    Seemingly hardly anyone knew. Lots of posters talking up his new power control prowess when that hadn't changed.

    Anyway, I'd rather have Power Burn + something for Cosmics. Now he can get too much power too easily, between the nullify with MD and the Power Steal. It's harder to keep the power and combo in just the right spot without having to waste time with the heavy. I wish DLL had kept it the same Power Burn, but added "If opponent is Cosmic, place 2% Power Dissolve instead". Easy peasy.

    I think being at rank 3 or 4 with the right relic and stat focus will bring more damage everywhere, so more damage overall, with the same power control.
    Power dissolve is useless without power steal/power burn. It only deals damage when you reduce power.

    Power steal seems to be better than power burn for "power control" as a lot already said. Great against cosmics .
    The only issue I find is, they should have changed power dissolve to 15 secs and base chance to 100, since we always get power dissolve on odd combo so even at high sig we wouldn't benefit from the increased ability accuracy.

    Wow you switched up really fast from it looks like trash to it's great lol glad someone tested it already and confirmed it really was just the wording that made it sound mid.

    I always had hopes but you're right they worded it bad but the buff is solid I'll say. Both effects are easy to maintain although I wish power dissolve also last for 15 secs instead of 10. He is still heavily nullify reliant for applying all his effects, but in matches he can nullify he is really fun. Power dissolve damage is decent as well


    Yeah I just tested him myself and the buff is great, you get that sp2 off and you get into an infinte loop of heavy to apply a loa and steal power, then sp1 spam and stack a ton of poisons, they'll never get another special off once you fire that sp2. Best buff by far and my favorite, even more than Cull and that's the buff I cared about the most.
    Dude.... You are giving too many details that could make them nerf him 😭

    Mike this is supposed to be 65% right? But the description still reads only 50% chance.Please pass this to the game team.

    Just one more thing they need to do to make him God Tier again, Give a Pre-fight ability, similiar to Scorpion, Poison, Shock and Neuroshock, Activating one give immunity to the other 2, and he will be God-Tier

    Or even like Nico where she turns poison into acid burn (for poison immune cosmics) or incinerate

    He doesn't need that at all, he's already strong as is.

    I think I saw in his post buff kit is they removed the power gain buff you get when sp3 power steal debuff on nds for any reason not saying we needed it absolutely but why they removed it for now reason
    And don't you guys think he should have higher chance to inflict loa buff unless opponent has a lot of buff sp1 is useless because it will consume buffs and you will not able to get buffs and debuffs on sp2 because it only consumes loa buffs not the other buffs

    I messed that up in the post. I was thinking Essence Steal (Omega Red) or Siphon Burn (Vulture) or something. I'm not sure now. I think I was half-asleep. πŸ˜‚

    He still gets it. It's still godly. It's just a mistake in the abilities. They still have Power Burn in the side bullet list and the percentages in the text are wrong, too.

    Once you have the power steal up you can get into a loop of heavy sp1 spam and get over 15 poisons easily, he doesn't need it the heavy thing is more than enough.
