    Lets face it, C2 just sucks. icon_e_sad.gif Someone show me a deck that is good? I certainly havent played against one. They are "gimmie" wins. Nothing works together, it's like you are constantly fighting yourself for energy. Compared to every other PW I have, she's by far the worst.

    She's perfectly fine as an alternate to Koth and Nahiri for speed objectives or QB. I use her for the 1.1 in Fateful Showdown.

    Meh... but play those cards with any other red PW and you will have a better overall deck because their abilities actually work well.

    Her mana gain makes a six round win less risky if you're red-starved.

    I might as well play Saheeli if you really want to talk about mana gains. all positive mana gains across the board.

    skills wise, c2 sucks.

    mana gains wise, saheeli and Koth are better. Koth can also try to gen his own gem matches with his cheaper 1st.

    hp wise, again, Koth and Saheeli are better.

    why play c2 except forced to by an event pw locked node?

    That's why they gotta adjust her abilities. Make her energy creation more efficient, as is her first abilities can destroy energized gems without triggering overload.

    Also give her abilities that give her better longevity. Like what I suggested that removes the every requirement from her third ability.

    Exactly. And guess what they're likely to do for the next inventors fair....

    let me guess the final result now: the same alleged cheater account will get a perfect score in platinum and be in first place in the next Inventors Fair.

    Her mana distribution makes her more consistent than Koth when you're on a short timer. Koth has more explosion and raw power, but also more turns he sits there and twiddles his thumbs generating 2 mana.

    Look, I'm just playing devil's advocate here. From the new players' perspective, C2 is less risky for that fight. Relying on Koth's first for a 6 round win is a questionable tactic, at best.

    We are the 1% (less, actually). The VAST majority of players do not currently have access to Saheeli.

    Overall? Yes, Koth and Saheeli are _clearly_ better than C2. But my basis was for 1.1 in Fateful Showdown only, as that was the context of my reply.

    Right, Octal expressed my point much better than I did.

    Saying C2 has uses is far different than saying she is incredible, or even good.

    That's definitely a great write-up! I've actually gone ahead and taken that thread, as well as this one, and passed it along to the developers to get their thoughts on the subject. I'll let you all know if they have any information to provide.

    Thank you Brigby! Your proactiveness (I dunno if that's a word icon_lol.gif) is astonishing and very pleasant!
