Thoughts? The sun mechanic reminds me of Leader’s Green Door and Lotan’s storm mechanic

Much more excited for her than Nico personally, she looks incredibly fun to play and I could use a Zola counter

Eh, not my type but ok,i think she has a good synergies ,4 star for one of my mains but thats kind of it

her design and Nico are good i guess simple casual designs (except they tought it would be a good idea to change Nico Hair for a Punk wannabe)

for gameplay i already have problem with spacing due to Zola and Leader,i don't want another even more with the state of the game algorithm aka AI

I really dont like her design.

The sun mechanic is interesting but would be curious to see how random it is. If it keep jumping from corner to corner then it will be distracting and rng based. If it stays in the middle, she woule be fun to play. Liking the damage.

It said it’ll appear throughout the arena so it could be random

The "sun rays" are an interesting thing ,Kabam is doing for the 1st time.

Despite some stages at night haha, but for Karolina to be stronger is very plausible...

This shows Kabam can do a fun mode with "items on stage" ,or try in an event to see if works and the player base likes

Loved all Sp animations.

Dll said it is fairly controlled and designed to be played into and not going from one end of the map to the other

The light thing is 100% after the testing from the storm in the Lotan fight.

What rotation are you using? I have my way of playing her I'm just curious since a lot of people seem to use the sp3 which I find to be a huge waste

I didn't realize it, but now I'm on a quest to get a full team of glance on block champions. Dust, Ironheart, and now Karolina. Will just need 3 more classes to complete the wheel.

If you're counting IronHeart, then Proxima too. And Ant-Man although his glancing is for all hits.

Proxima and Ironheart don’t glance on block but rather reduce offensive ability accuracy. Glancing also reduces attack rating by 50%

Please don’t, we have armor break immune tech champs, then pulverize immune champs? What’s next?

Neither of those three glance on block, though they do have other effects

KT1s rotation, 2 sp1s, 1 sp2, get to 1.5 bars of power then spam sp2, you get at 9 cosmic flame auras, never use heavy after wards until they are Abt to fall off

I read glance or block, and given the inclusion of Ironheart i assumed they just meant block champions

Yeah that's the one. The amount of people I see using the heavy after the sp2 is annoying given that it basically cuts her damage to a quarter lmao

They don't give out the new champs until just before their release
