Shouldn't she be a punching bag on defense? But she's 5-0 this season, and I have no clue what's happening. Isophyne god-tier defender, lol?

    I mean she is kinda new and I’ve never played against played her so if you threw her on defense I would have no idea what her specials are or how to counter her lol.

    Sam obviously isn't immune to incenerate Or poison, and not tactic, so he'll die even to a iron Fist.

    Shathra isn't immune or tactic either, but she's still been ok so far.

    Certified Diamond V moment.

    Probably.
    I'm just buying time until I rank up and unleash Electro in GC this season.

    We all have her though.
    I did practice just now fighting her just to see, and it seems like they gave her the Blade playbook. She literally just stands holding block until you do something. You can't bait her to do anything.

    Deadpool inflicts a lot less debuffs natively to keep up the reduced damage from decay tactic, so he sucks against non tactic defenders. Sam obviously isn't immune to incenerate Or poison, and not tactic, so he'll die even to a iron Fist.

    Can you explain what you mean by "non tactic defenders"? Don't both sugar pill and hazard shift apply to all defenders in this BG season? I'm genuinely confused (and likely missing something).

    Maybe the fractured power bar is catching them off guard? Don’t know which special she will throw

    Hazard Shift does apply to all defenders this season, but Sugar Pill only applies to defenders with the Sugar Pill tag

    Tactic defenders place Placebo buffs on the attacker. Decay attackers are immune to Placebo buffs, and whenever a Buff immunity triggers they place a Wither debuff on the opponent. These Wither debuffs allow all Decay attackers to mitigate the damage from Hazard Shift, but they can only place these debuffs if their Placebo Buff Immunity triggers, which can only happen if the defender has the Sugar Pill tag. Decay attackers can still reduce the damage from Hazard Shift when facing a non-tactic defender if they place a lot of personal debuffs on the opponent, but DPX doesn’t do that very well

    Thanks, that makes sense, but shouldn't the BG node specify that Sugar Pill applies only to Sugar Pill tagged defenders, the way #Decay is laid out for attackers?
