KGB said: Now that the numbers are up we can see her Purple will hit quite hard against an already stunned opponent (6100 when champed). It also means the 1 turn stun (at 5 covers) will obviously hit already stunned characters so there is a reasonable chance you won't stun the enemy Polaris until you match quite a few specials and manage to have the CD's resolve. As someone who uses Polaris/Grocket on offense, she won't really scare me since her low health means she can be killed on turn 2-3 in most matches.I still don't get the reason you ever want to use her Green. Yes, you get an initial 3 turn stun (5 covers) but if the CD/repeater goes off, you give an enemy a free heal (along with the stun) and if the CD/repeater gets matched your Mantis gets stunned and damaged. Not such a great power so I think that 3 covers max and hope you have a better Green outlet.In Shield Training Valkyrie won't be useful since her strongest color is a passive so it will be 4/5* Carnage as your 3rd character and match those enemy specials for stuns and damage.Now for the really important question. Is there anyone obvious that she could feed?KGB

Because you would have BRB generating Blue and Green AP to fire off 2 different stuns and that isn't counting the passive on her purple that can trigger off of Polaris firing her Blue. By the time the enemy comes back on line you are ready to fire off more stuns.

By the time the enemy comes back on line you are ready to fire off more stuns. Obviously your speaking of pick 3 (Shield Sim) where you can run BRB/Polaris/Mantis. But in pick 2, you can't do that.Also the more you stun the enemy the fewer special tiles they will have for you to match for her Purple.KGB
Bad said: Having a stun on green increases the value of that power. Actually is a permastun, if no one matches that tile. Healing him is a minor effect if the partner is gathering AP for to stomp him later.His yellow is super cheap and she can give special tiles just before matching them.This is another 4* really funny to play and a must have because of that.The art is another time good. She could feed Ego, if we continue at this pace.

KGB said: I guess all of you planning to run BRB/Polaris/Mantis are thinking of using this team for the Challenge Node in PvE?In 4* land you definitely don't need that team to reach 2K in Shield Sim (the only real place to run them in PvP) and there are much better partners for Polaris than Mantis in pick 2 PvP that most 4* players will already have champed and potentially at L300+.If she had come out a year or two ago she'd have been much more valuable in the 4* tier than she will be now minus the stunlock Challenge Node team aspect.KGB
