Glad to see silk is staying the same, but I would’ve liked to see kindred get a slight tune up offensively. Red Guardian is finally getting a rework! I thought they scrapped this completely (if he was the champ) but this is cool. I kinda forgot he was in the game

    He's not getting a rework, it's a tune-up and they already confirmed that they did scrap that original buff because it was to coincide with a meta shift for war that ended up getting scrapped as well. So they are just making tweaks to his kit for better sustainability.

    They’re a great defender and it looks like they’ll be great against Maestro as well

    Kindred is really fun to play in Mystic TB EQ during months where the nodes are when you heal, you power drain and gain a fury (Occult Equilibrium + Siphoning Strength). You get to one outbreak, and you basically shoot to 10 fury and spam power drain and you can just beat them to death in the corner and fights are like 30-40 seconds.

    Outside of that...I haven't found much use for him offensively. I've had to use him in BGs offensively a few times and it was just too slow. I feel like he needs something that punishes buffs falling off to complement his Atrophy, either some Degen like Mojo or maybe outbreak is paused for 2 seconds if active, or they gain 2 infestation charges.

    Tbh I'm a little surprised he wasn't tuned down on defense but no complaints as I got him from a lucky Cav on release and R4'd him immediately, and he's a been a menace in War and BGs.

    You should try Guillotine. She does the same thing from her first hit. When that set of Mystic nodes are on, you can clear a path in Thronebreaker EQ with a 4/55 Guilly.

    It's a shame there's not much else she's good for, unless you run Recoil and want to throw it at your opponent.

    I’m surprised Kindred isn’t getting a tune up on attack, guess he was meant to be a defender overall. I just wished that he did a little more degen damage on offense. However I’m glad Silk is staying the same though, she’s such a powerhouse.

    I’m guessing for RG they plan to increase the duration of his debuffs so it’s less stressful to play. Keeping up those traumas actually gives us trauma
