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'm just buying time until I rank up and unleash Electro in GC this season.
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.
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
Obviously she took hazard damage that fight so score was in the 40ks instead of 50k, so just depends on the depth of your roster and the trade-offs. But yeah, I agree, not ideal. I would leave her out of my deck too if I had 30 better options.
You probably wouldn't be able to hold that health if that was my 6* redskull. 2 reasons:
3/3 despair
3/3 inequity.
I have r3 redskull tho. Which Im not drafting much. Cosmics like medusa and scream are cooking him.
But, Congrats on the isophene dubs. atleast someone is getting a use out of her.
We want #Decay attackers against #Sugar Pill defenders.
We want debuff-heavy #Decay attackers against non-#Sugar Pill defenders.
Otherwise we want non-#Decay but Poison/Incinerate Immune attackers against any defenders, except that against #Sugar Pill defenders, watch out for unstoppables, and against Mystic #Sugar Pill defenders running MD, we might be running into a lot of power gain?
