Potential Delay to v44.1 Launch
We are currently working through some issues that may affect the release window of v44.1. This means that the update may not release on Monday as it usually does. We are working to resolve the issue holding us up as quickly as possible, but will keep you all updated, especially if the delay results in any changes to the content release schedule.

Ps, when does the change go live? Just so I can use her a little in her original state before she gets filed away.
Not impressed with the Guilly update. But I will reserve judgment until I see her in game.

I expected a higher level buff from a community vote. I know, it wasn't promised, but all the forum voting and arena ballots set my expectations higher than what I consider a side-step. A side-step if I'm being generous, as I'm including everybody's time involved and what was lost in the rework.
Damage-heavy utility-light champs are gonna be unpopular outside of YouTube videos. That's just the meta. She'd need to be Horseman Wolverine to get looks, and I don't see that.
I certainly prefer a more utility-forward approach. Doesn't matter how cool a champ is if Act 5 is their peak content.
Infact it's actually easier to NOT take away parts of her kit than it is to take them away.
That may be a wrong impression, but based on the written description, I would think you could see how experienced players might conclude there aren’t many situations where she outshines other champs.
Add the fact she was part of an event that allowed the community to vote on which champ got buffed, and it isn’t unreasonable for people to express disappointment when she doesn’t appear to be a significantly improved champ.
Then there’s the past few months. Apart from SoP, it hasn’t been great.
So if you think about it, it isn’t tough to understand where players are coming from when they balk at the details of the release.

Again, the past few months cannot be repeatedly brought up with everything that comes along. It's getting old, TBH. We're all aware the game has had issues.
I think it's incredibly shortsighted and biased to form these judgements sight-unseen. Further to that, that's not at all going into it with an open mind. That's forming the prejudice that it will suck. People do that far too often here. They're already coming into things with the attitude that they will be dissatisfied.
Sp3 no longer takes 2 percent off per soul charge but instead does 1737 degen damage per soul charge...
She now needs the opponent to have buffs to help her chance to bleed, if they made it per debuff instead of buff i would be more optimistic......
I hope she turns out to be great im just not seeing it though
I like that the first 10 souls don’t expire but why cap at 15. The bonus attack is tiny per soul even at a lot of souls it won’t make much difference. You get a soul 35% of the time if you crit, if you crit .25% percent of hits you only get a soul at best 8% of the time
Sp1 now costs 10 souls.
Sp2 used to reverse all regen now only 200%
And can also cost souls.
Sp3 took away the really cool and fun part of the possible crazy damage and gives a smaller damage that also consumes souls.
I like that she got a rupture for bleed immune.
Regen looks meh, especially when we just got king groot and diablo who can have incredible regen with just as or more damage than the new guillotine. Not sure how the regen compares to current regen but I doubt it’s better
Couldn’t you have focused on either beefing her damage and regen like king groot and diablo OR taken the path of decent damage and regen but also added some standard mystic utility?
I’ll hold off on final judgement until I play her post buff but as of right now I’m really disappointed how it’s looking.
No synergy with Purgatory ?
- No useful base utility - No immunities, no power control, no nullify, no AAR, healing is miniscule.
- No role in the game - Where are players gonna use her? Even if she does good damage she offers nothing else.
- Sp1 "share pain" is not usable in any high level content since it doesn't reduce the incoming damage. Any DOT worth countering is gonna kill you ages before the opponent.
- Specials remove your Soul Charges whether you want the bonus utility or not, losing your attack bonus from the charges. Should've been a choice between either keeping the utility active or trading in the charges for a big Sp3.
- Basically zero benefit when fighting buff heavy champs (ie. Cosmic) - 5% more bleed chance per buff is a joke.
So we're left with her only actual utility being her Sp2 heal reversal and you have to give up your attack increase from your soul charges to make it last a decent amount of time.
I just don't see the point of this rework, it brings nothing to the table that she didn't already have. For a Kabam original character that the community voted to get reworked I expected a lot more.
Cavalier EQ rewards class archetypes.
As she doesn't satisfy either of the above is her damage better be Nick Fury level otherwise she will have no purpose.
Also it's getting really annoying when they continue to add unnecessary steps to Preexisting Abilities especially when it's unwarranted with already fairly balanced Abilities like this, before she has a 50% Chance to Bleed on Crit. Now it's 35% Chance but increases by 5% per Buff on the Opponent, as well the Damage has been Reduced but Soul Charges now Increase Attack instead of Crit Damage to make up for it...
All they did there was make her Bleeds More Complicated and removed her Crit Damage Bonus, which would also Weaken that Critical Bleed Synergy she has with Purgatory if it remains unchanged.
At least we didn’t have to be strung along for months with voting and grinding arena for more votes… oh wait.
But we should all be happy that our overflow is full of AQ revives.
