    She got two big advantages, by countering serpent and maestro.

    He said Shathra is a really good counter to Serpent and Maestro, but outside of that she is alright.

    She's the first 6* I've used catalysts on to take to r5 in probably over a year.

    I think shes kinda ass tbh

    Havent had much excitement using her. Power steal seems average at best.
    She does okay damage

    She’s far from ass lmao. Good damage and a pretty good counter to some annoying cosmics

    I like mine. Appears currently to be a niche cosmic destroyer, but definitely doesn’t disappoint there against some of the most nettlesome cosmics.

    Other applications may pop up once she gets more use. But for now, satisfied customer.

    Really stuck with deciding on getting her early-access or saving the coin and waiting until Titan pool swaps over since I’ll have a few to open, including a Nexus.

    I already have the saga resources to max her out and take to r5, but I feel my luck will be pulling her as a 7* when pool changes and the 6* will have no more use. Nick’s review stated she was actually just as viable without her awakened ability since it’s questing focused, so an unawakened 7* with stat focus at r3 would obviously be ideal, and I wasted $100 for nothing lol

    Personally, I’d wait. I don’t think she’s that earth shattering, especially if you already have Serpent/Maestro counters like SymSup, Chavez.

    Counter point: One thing that gets played down is her synergies, which look to be great for some of the Spider champs. But probably not enough to justify early access vs. end of year stuff.

    Personally I think I’m going to pick her up. My 7* mystic roster is my weakest, I’m somewhat lacking in Serptent/Maestro counters, the synergies with my R3 ham, and a few (admittedly low probability) shots at her as a 7* plus the guaranteed 6*. Also a bit putting my money where my mouth is as I voted for her from the start. Heck, the SGwen synergy might make me thinking about R2’ng her. A 7* team of Shatra, SpiderHam, SGwen, Peni, and Mysterio would be kind of fun.

    Going to wait as few more days / watch a few more videos before I make the final call.

    That’s what I think is slept on—effects on “good” spider champs like Gwen and—if his buff comes through—Punk.

    Her synergies and wasp totems do look useful in like war and such. Poison immunity for hazard shift especially

    I think she's already very underrated, can take alot of cosmic defenders and alot of other defenders and fast. Also very easy to use just throw an sp1 and you're already at an Sp2. Definitely a BG champion. Literally WAYY better than white tiger.
    What exactly is the community even looking for at this point.

    I'm assuming it's because she's still new and only people who bought her Pre-Release have her. I did expect a huge debut from her in praises but the CC'S aren't doing her justice because most of the videos they've shown is just 200k HP drax and the comments seem to be saying she's not good enough.

    CGR and Herc levels of damage of course, that’s why people love BRB, Count Nefaria and Superior Iron Man, and hate Leader, Arcade and Negasonic Teenage Warhead

    Yeah because as a 7* she has damage of 6*
    Maybe that's the reason, throw her against fat r3 mystic defenders and she struggles.
    Kabam can't make attackers anymore

    I decided to pull the trigger and so far I like her. Just a couple of fights and I wouldn’t say I’m any good at her yet, but a R4/Max sig with no boosts or synergies is taking down WS in 52ish hits, which isn’t bad at all (admittedly with suicides on but she definitely is not suicides friendly given her rotation). Going to play around with the synergies next but at this stage I would say I’m hoping I pull her as a 7* in a few weeks.

    The synergies are definitely nice. That said, I was having trouble getting the passively unblockable specials to actually be unblockable. Got the icon to come up but then when I triggered the special it was not unblockable. Anyone else play with it? Not sure if is bugged or was just operator error.

    She needs to gain weight. a few good hits from a heavy damage dealer and she’s toast.
