    Interesting kit. Low health but potentially high team damage.

    She seems to be a great second or third. Certainly someone to throw in better than 3May->4.

    Worth chasing for sure.

    I like her. Does a little bit of everything and has a little bit of chaos thrown in. I hope she's good in practice.

    I like her. She seems to be pretty good support character in your hands but the AI will muck her up (IMO that's a good thing). The blue and yellow powers get worse when you fire them, which the AI will do, but in your hands you can just forget about those. I think her purple looks really good too. 3 turn repeaters not the best but does double damage if anyone destroys them. The blue adds some nice randomness but also each one is very useful, put fantasticar on her partner and watch the crazy ensue. And that match damage boost will get ABSOLUTELY INSANE I think.

    I can see firing the blue power to switch to a different effect. Not sure how the purple aspect of it works though.

    Can it only stun 3 enemies and then it's disabled for the rest of the match? If you fire the blue and re-purple, does it reset to max 3 again? Or, is the max 3 regarding the number of turns you can stun with one purple match. Do multiple matches add to the duration, and that's max 3 (up to 5 at higher levels)?

    Either way, looks really nice. Please don't nerf on release lol.

    Looks like a really fun kit on paper, excited to try her out. A darn shame about the healing on the yellow active though. UNLESS...
    @S0kun does her ability damage passive buff apply to her heal also? That would be amazing and I am waiting for the day someone finally actually buffs everything other than just active damage. I know it says damage, but a guy can dream.

    It's actually kinda crazy, there's no cap on that match damage buff? I can already think of a team she would absolutely decimate with.

    Has she changed since she leaked? Curious since I never saw the leaked version.

    Why would you ever want to fire the active component of the Yellow power? The damage and healing isn't that much and the draw back (halving your match and ability damage) isn't worth it since the percentage increase just keeps on going forever and will stack (ie 30% gives you 130% then 30% more gives you 169% and so on).

    She seems like a great team mate for MThor. The Yellow passive will keep on ramping up damage thanks to MThor cascades making matches. Her Purple plays perfectly for MThor too (you want those repeaters destroyed). MThor will even help get you the 6 matches so she can keep the 2nd part of her Blue going forever so you get the free random effects on every match.

    I wonder how many hoards are going to be broken to pair her with MThor?

    You might want to half your opponents match damage? If it does that, it's not immediately clear?

    I don't precisely recall, but she looks the same as she did in the preview. I mostly paid attention to the Yellow, which was definitely that good.

    Purple seems ok -- potentially a lot of damage, but 4- or 3-turn repeaters don't resolve very much. At least they do twice the damage when they're destroyed. It's also very cheap. Ideally you'll be able to get one or two to replicate, but that's not really going to happen on your average match.

    Blue is interesting. It takes a while to "build," but you basically build your own power based on what colors you match. At least that's my read on it. I assume you stop building once you've made six matches, and it becomes "the power" at 6 ap? Even without the rider effects, that damage for 6 blue isn't terrible, but the fact that it takes 6 matches to "build up" is definitely a drawback. Since TUs don't count, it could be as many as 8 or 9 turns, or you could get it in one with a good cascade.

    Also, adding a color to the board for 3 blue does not suck, that will come in handy sometimes.

    Yellow is the money, particularly the passive. Getting 30% more match damage on her teammates is great, and the fact that it builds (by 15%? Or 30%? It's hard to tell,) with every match is also really good. You're probably going to use her active to down someone, but in general she just builds everyone's match power and her own "magical" power.

    Her kit is definitely geared toward building up the team over a long match, which is a drawback to be sure, but definitely the way I prefer to play. She'll be fun, at the very least.

    I’m going to try to get her to 550 as soon as possible. Looks like a fun kit that makes no sense on paper and should wreak havoc in practice.

    The way it reads to me is that matches 1-6 do normal damage.

    Match 7+ does an effect based on which color you match (red = bonus damage, yellow = heal etc). You don't need to match red 6x to get the red power. You get all the powers after 6 matches. Then if you need some immediate damage you can fire the alternate Blue power and go back to 0 count and 0 bonus affects based on match color until you reach 6 matches again. It's another case of why would you ever fire the alternate Blue power to reset the count unless you were desperate (ie about to die).

    Be careful of getting her to 550. The passive part of her Yellow (the best power) requires team mates to make matches. If she starts tanking 3 colors you will lose that passive component. She may be another one of those characters you need to leave just a few levels lower than your other 550s.

    Which is AWESOME! Back to back characters that don't want to tank? We are learning and it's amazing. Definitely something to consider like he said though if most of your other characters aren't already also at 550. Luckily a single match in a color will immediately add 30%, hopefully pushing them higher, supports can help too.

    I can see her being a character you bring unboosted with a boosted character. Kinda like a 4* ironMay but with 146k health and some healing.
