I also don't think her max Mistress of Elements will cost 5. They seem to have been nerfing cheap abilities, e.g. Ragnarok, Spiderman and CMags is in line.

They don't want to have abilities less than 5 AP. So MoE @ 5 is possible

Honestly though, I felt so certain that this character was going to be something like Patch, you know? I was really looking forward to seeing what cool new thing they were going to do with her. I'm glad to see her red on a 3*, but I wanted it in combination with something new.

And the only balancing that they've done and kept pure AP reduction in the ability was IW's Invisibility. Perhaps that was before they had a clear purpose in how ability leveling should work.

Almost perfect rainbow, with the only overlap being black, both of which don't matter as much. Who do you target first? If the AI gets 9 red, 8 purple, or 10 green before you get a kill, it's basically over. And that's with Hood stealing AP. AND if OBW gets 9 blue, you're set back 1228 damage. I can see this team looking like an easy win, but generating a lot of defensive victories.

Lyrian wrote: If she scales linearly, like all of the golds did outside of Daken (for obvious reasons), then we could be looking at a version of Storm whose red and black are 10-12 times as powerful as their 1* incarnation. That is some scary number potential there.
