I Don't Get The Silk Hype

She's kinda cool, but her play style is stressful and unreliable. Her damage is awful unless you can pull off the very stressful ideal rotation, and even then it's nothing crazy. Her slow is unreliable if you don't keep them against the wall. Her heavy cancel into special, that you need for decent damage, is unreliable and dangerous if the opponent has a special ready. Honestly, without synergies, a relic, and cooperative AI, she's pretty awful. Which is a bummer, cause I really wanted to like her. Hope she gets a rework.

    That’s a rank 5, right?

    Yes, she is a ton of fun and I would recommend her as a r5. She is very good in both questing and BGs, the r5 Combat Power Rate is also very nice for questing because you could just have mojo on the team to get to the sp2 after the sp3
    Im thinking to r5 mine but gonna give it time to see if i can pull the 7 from just a few titan crystals

    Nice fight, and sure she has some ideal matchups. To be fair, you have class advantage and the fury from the BG meta, so she's doing close to twice her normal damage there, and the relic plays a substantial role to be able to stack the vulnerabilities. And the fact that it was so quick eliminated the risk of dealing with specials after losing her evade charge.
    Again, she's got some good matchups, and I enjoy her in some fights, but I stand by her play style being stressful. Maybe stressful isn't the word, perhaps disappointing is a better word for it, since all her buffs are so difficult to keep up.
    But that's just my opinion of course, glad y'all enjoy her.

    Stressful? But she is really easy to use, she is not like taskmaster, she is not like Hela, she is just being agressive and You Will get a ton of easy damage

    Everything else is covered here, I ll only say that her gameplay is pretty smooth, along with her animations, if you like using Black Cat, you re gonna love her too. Plus, the stun in the middle of a combo mechanic is pretty useful for a lot of situations/nodes.

    Does she need the dupe? And if so what’s her best sig level?

    Scorpion is still a better addition to the roster right? And Not just since the r5 will go longer since Silk is already in the titan pool.

    Asking cause im missing scorpion and debating going basics for more 7* shards meanwhile featureds can give trash dupes for 5k more shards

    She is amazing. Super ez to use, reliable damage, and you don't even need to do the "ideal" rotation in the deep dive. She's amazing purely with heavy cancel into a special, which isn't difficult at all

    Silk is the easiest champ to play, 5 hits combo into heavy, repeat until you have special ready and see solid damage.

    Not to forget Auto-evade on specials built in, great for mediocre players like me and you 😜

    VS R3 Domino



    VS 200 sig 6R5A Destroyer

    I used to think same

    Unless I used her in AW and EQ, and I ranked her up and she's going to R3 soon as undupe 7 star
  • Toproller89Toproller89 Member Posts: 888 ★★★
    She will be my first R4 and hopefully sig 200 as well soon

    maybe at lower rank but at higher rank she is not that stressful . the playstyle i recommend would be to just get 2.5-3 bar of power and full relic meter rotation= m l l l heavy to relic and m l l l heavy to sp3 after sp3 m m , m m,l l l m h to sp1 (doesnt work for stun immune champions or heavy shrug off champions like kingpin).my rank 5 destroys almost everything with this combo
