Is Peni Parker overrated?

Maybe i just haven’t taken her to the right content but I got a 6 star peni Parker and took her to r2 immediately with intention to r3. It could be the rotation or crazy inflated hit counter but she just isn’t my cup of tea.
Anyone swear by her with some tips they’d like to share?

- great defender (even if you don’t play her because you don’t like her just slap her on defense)
- Can get up too some nutty nutty damage on the special 2
- That sig can be really useful (counters Fury’s for example)
there’s a lot more that I’m skipping over but those are a couple things I’ve gathered about her from being on the forums and talking with people that like her. I’m sure someone will come along and write an essay about why you should use her and put this little comment to shame
For her damage: build charges, launch sp2. That's it. Of course, that ramp up depends on the scale of the defender and nodes present.
For utility, when fully unlocked, she has a couple of DoT immunities, power drain, power lock, power burn, and heal block.
For synergies, she has a couple of very useful ones, specifically with Mysterio and the Spider-Verse heroes. She can also gain access to parrying noncontacts and stun immunity.
So yeah. I'd say she's a pretty useful champion in anyone's roster.
Certainly not my most used champ, but she gets the job done. The Mysterio synergy is also really fun to use.
300k HP gone in 57 seconds
She has very good synergies
Monster on both offence and defense
Has incinerate and poison immunity
A very good champ if you ask me
Additionally, y’all sleeping on what she can do for DDHK. I just took my 6* to r3 because of that synergy, it’s very fun to play with!
P.S I don't have her. Everything I know is just by fighting her again and again and again.....
She really relies on a specific rotation to max out her damage, so check out some videos so you’re getting the most out of her.
Aside from Hercules and Kitty Pride, most of the champs from last year don't get brought up that often.
As mention by many on this post, her sp2 is damaging if know how to use her
So no, she not overrated
1. SP2 Insane damage, great for short and long fights.
2. Sync Shield incredible for players who need to tank some fights, or make a mistake, as the charges can be easily regained and spent on autoblock, and also does damage, heal blocks AND power drains with the awakened ability.
3. Double Immunity, and one that isn't that common, with poison AND incinerate immunity.
4. Great defender in war. It's very much 50/50 however, as players who are patient and don't rush her as she has lots of sp1 charges often won't struggle. So long as you bait her to sp2, and don't hit her block if she has lots of charges, she'll die quickly. Simultaneously, however, she will absolutely melt ANYONE who tries to intercept her with charges, unblockable specials, incinerate / poison based damage, or just relies on melting her through abilities she auto-blocks, power drains and then heal blocks. Makes her good for high regen champs too.
5. Easy power control that benefits her as well. Rather than some champs who might lose some charges or abilities to inflict a power drain, peni pretty much does it normally, outside of her auto-block, same with heal blocking, and with an awakened ability will inflict damage for any power drained or healing blocked.
6. Good synergies with mysterio and gwen, adds a lot of playability and fun damage to those champs, without as much of a cost, eg. mysterio no longer losing charges for his insane heavy poisons.
7. A fun, easy champ overall. Her ramp up and playstyle is actually quite easy, and doesn't require a lot of focus. Here's one ramp up I use in pretty much all my fights with her that leads to almost guaranteed death for most enemies. - Sp1 just as enemy reached theirs or is a bit over their next power bar, build to sp2, fire off, GG. For longer fights, go for sp1 2 or 3 times, keep charges up (dont let her autoblock or she loses charges, so you just have to be careful, but its fine if you lose charges because sync shield takes the damage anyways), sp2, GG. Sp3 is applicable in any ramp up, just provides peni more tanky shield to let you take blocked hits easier.
She is the only champ I've ever spent money on to earn and I do not regret it one bit. I love her, and personally would LOVE to get a 6* version of her, as I have a maxed version of every other level other than 3* atm.
use like guardian , sp1 2-3 times and sp2 500k health down
