She's fantastic! One of the best characters in the game. Great mix of utility, defensive capabilities and damage.

I fully recognise the fact that she has fantastic damage output and utility, but her playstyle is too complex for me to actually consider her a god tier character.

She's good, but she's very hard to play, and most of her utility and damage is connected to her playstyle, which I consider rather impractical. A good champion nonetheless.

She's decent- not too good but not too bad.

She's a pretty bad character and I absolutely hate her playstyle.

I only use her rn when the quest's not of utmost importance because I know I'll get hit due to spacing and not being able to connect heavies and more.
I have a list of opponents she could work very well for (at least 80), so yeah she's worth at least trying out. It feels so satisfying to heavy miss opponents attacks
And Elsa-level fans.

That makes her impractical. Learning how to counter champs is great and supremely rewarding, but it takes an incredible amount of effort.
As such, I tend to mostly just use her in fights where I have projectiles to avoid since that allows her to build up her power more quickly and therefore access her full potential. You could take her into melee content but there she becomes tricky and your timing really has to be on point.
She's still one of my absolute faves because her kills can feel so clean when everything aligns and you aren't even grazed by an attack, but she's not my main questing champ by any means. She might become when I get a handle on her more and more, but for now I'm perfectly happy with my current usage of her. She solves what she needs to solve for me, and few other champs solve those problems as well as she does.
But once you get her down, she absolutely cleans out everything on a path, faster than most champs can. Not to mention she’s mystic and MD just pushes her to sp2 that much faster.
She's currently the top-option for my next 5r5 Mystic. Was gonna take Hood higher, but his buff leaves me with a bad aftertaste every time I use him. Bleh.
Anyways -- she's very fun to play, has a unique bit of utility, does lots of damage, and can control buffs well enough. Shame the Jabari synergy isn't just a default thing.
Unfortunately, she's really being hurt by this war on Ghost and Quake, so still hesitant on ranking. Not cool, Kabam, not cool.
It’s difficult to play her because you need to learn the spacing between you and the opponents, to know how far the opponent would move forward when they perform any attacks, and for you to adjust your own spacing by moving forward with 1 light attack when needed. The pay off is huge if you can do it consistently, but if you’re either too far forward or too far back, you’ll be hit by combos
