I like to think Paladins world was modern af like now and that every non human like creature like Willow all were in hiding for centuries , but then the Abyss sent everyone back to the dark ages & thats why we see some character have Guns, grenades ect. In short Paladins was like Adventure Time. It became Magical after something huge happened (probably the abyss again before coming back trying to destroy everything).

[@boohoo6326]

Based on my experience of playing her, she feels more of a support character rather than a damage character. Her primary and secondary fire damage is alright, but the inaccuracy of hipfire is really tolling (its good to balance her out, i guess, but as a supposed damage character, that may come across as underwhelming). Even more, her skills are not game-changing, not damage-wise at least (unlike Willo, Drogoz, Tiberius, etc. who have damaging skills that can turn the tables in one way or another), but are good for defending and engaging. What makes her a contributor to matches are definitely not her skills but her unique passive ability. Despite this, however, I feel like she's perfectly balanced, and is either a good backline champion, or a solid support champion imo. These are just my opinions, though, which I really just wanted to share since I'm having a good time playing as her. I don't feel dominating as her nor do I feel useless as her. She maybe is underwhelming for people who're more fond of champions that applies pressure against the enemy team, but all in all, she's a good champ imo. :D

Dunno man, u can deal more than 10k dmg per minute. You just need to aim properly lol.

Oddly enough, Kinessa(and Strix) is pretty much her only counter.

[@XanonGamer47]

For the ultimate, I propose something else: Octavia aims with his finger ONE enemy. There will be 2 bars: a power bar and time. If octavia targets an enemy that does not move and reaches 100%, it shoots with its finger and a ray will fall on the enemy making a one-shot and all enemies that are next to the victim will be hit by a wave that swings rays on the opponents (the size changes depending on the distance of the enemies from the hit target). If the target person hides, the percentage bar blocks and the timer activates. The lower the time, the lower the percentage of power.

That sounds great but it will never happen
