At 5, her purple steals all kinds of SAP tiles and turns them into buffed strikes. The reason she is hard on defense is because she has that black that puts out traps that eat all damge to her and clap back with a decent amount. Aside from Sinister, she’s maybe the only other character making trap spam on 2 colors. I think she and Chavez will play up with him pretty well.She is a deliberate, strategic character in a game that rewards speed is her real drawback.
She can be effective against teams that have trouble dislodging trap tiles. If you can get her Ballet of Death trap tile placed in a hard to match position, you'll be dealing damage every turn (possibly augmented by strike tiles), and stealing up to 3 AP. It works quite well against her ninja goons (who were added to the game in her release event: Enemy of the State), who generate the colours she steals.
As her trap tiles do not activate on tile destruction or overwrite, she has lots of counters though. I think many people underestimate her a bit, and it is kind of fun seeing defensive wins when I use her.
[...]She excels at 1v1 matchups, and is strong against strike tile makers. [...]

[...] Just wanted to remind that her purple, with enough covers on it, steals enemy protects and attacks, converting those into buffed strikes as well. I think a lot of people forget about that, it may have been a rebalance at some point. 3* elektra doesnt do that, but 4* does
