    Why does Neutralize say down or deal damage? Is there a chance she downs an opponent regardless of health?

    No she can't do that. This covers the case where you need to do 17K damage (450, 5 covers) but the opponent you select only has say 3K health.

    It means when an opponent has low health it will be easy to complete this mission.

    Right, I went to double check, and the text used for Silver Sable's power parallels Valkyrie's Bounty Hunter power: "If that enemy is Downed or takes x damage before it expires", so yeah, there's actual consistency in this case of similar powers.

    Ah, got it. Thanks for the clear explanation

    I really like the concept of an ability where I have to complete a mission, but I guess we will see what the actual gameplay will look like.

    Valkyrie has this ability for years with her bounty. The 'Neutralize' mission is essentially her bounty mission.

    Good point, haha. Maybe there should be more varied missions. That might be fun. One for each color to gain something? Probably too complicated.

    With the shards going out today, my SSable is at 4/4/4……

    • purple is cute and limited. You can keep an opponent from getting AP in their strongest color but that will always be pretty limited. Damage is pathetic but because it costs so little I kinda understand it. The chai trap tiles do nothing. Makes you wonder why bother making them at all.

    • yellow hits hard but it’s under a CD and not fortified so good luck I guess. The 2nd CD costs 2 of your own AP but if you choose one of your unused power colors, it’s not a big deal. Also, you can place the CD over pretty much anything as long as it’s not your own. Even abyss tiles.

    • the black is her best power by far though. Pretty much like Valkyrie’s passive but you have to fire it to get it going. It’s really easy to meet either of the conditions and be a battery for another character and exploit this power.

    Overall, she may be a really good battery but nothing else. I have no desire to chase her and I chased to ascend The Maker.

    I think the purple power is set up the way it is to prevent you from just spamming it for damage over and over. 3ap abilities are pretty dangerous, especially when they're in a color like purple with a lot of supports.

    I wonder if this is what I was thinking but somehow misread it as you only get retro rewards if you'd ascended in the past 4 days. Big misunderstanding on my part! Thanks for finding this!

    Why does she look like Greta thunberg?

    What would be wrong with that?

    I will agree that this isn't MPQ's finest art in my personal opinion and perhaps the proportions are a bit strange for what our pre-conceived notions of what a super heroine should look like. But then maybe that is a problem for us and we should be able to embrace interpretations of these characters that deviate from our expectations.

    She doesn’t look like Greta Thunberg imo. He’s trying to get banned from the forum.

    My opinion says she does. Trying to get banned? I'd just quit. Lol

    Yes, the art is terrible. The missing right thumb looks weird, seems unnatural even if its meant to underneath her palm. Also below her torso looks like an armor design and then with the crease at the elbow it makes it look like latex.

    Anyways this is way to long for me to analyze her art over her abilities.

    No expectations here. Just make her look like the comic book. Or at least a little like the book. She looks to be on the spectrum. Let me be clear. I'm not picking on anyone so no need for tears.

    What spectrum does it look like she's on?

    What does someone "on the spectrum" look like?

    This almost seems tailored made for a comment from me but im fairly sure I would get cancelled with whatever I came up with.
    Although someone who does look like is on the spectrum is me.
    Make of that what you will.

    Underwhelming kit. The purple power should be damage with 2 traps out. True healing is nice, but she doesn't do much damage otherwise.

    Very, very weak character. Running her in PVP. Unimpressed. Definitely the worst 5* in quite a while. She would be pretty bad in her current kit as a 4*.

    Perhaps they are now erring on the side of underperforming so they don't have to think about nerfing later.

    I'm being very careful. Lol
