Shathra: Champion Spotlight with Context

[@dandann67]

swat by blocking rapidly is hilarious

[@Subviolaceus]

Synergies and team building have always been my favorite part of the game. This champ looks like a lot of fun.

[@vgautamkrishna5197]

Shathra kinda looks like a ghost wife from a certain animated movie

[@NicJ27]

She seems awesome! Gonna hold my saga items for her i think. As someone with both a r3 Antman and Spidey Classic, shes the bridge between those characters + she has the Honeydew Cassie play style vibe which i love Shame she wasnt in the grand opening

[@Lvrd_Drew]

Honestly i wasn't really expecting anything cause i wanted blob but damn i need this champ been saving titan shards since pool changed and gonna keep em till she is in titan

[@spiderman-2416]

The Queen Xenomorph has joined the game

[@joeyb82mcoc80]

I like that the power gain from MD is reduced. It should help avoid situations like when you use Rintrah on attack and keep getting to the SP3 when you really wanted to throw the SP2.

[@jeager343]

Wasp economy made me laugh

[@giantwalrus2828]

She sounds interesting. As for letting you know what i think in the comments, I'm really curious how many times you said the word wasp... 🤪

[@harryatomix]

Honeydew cooked!

[@Josh_DPInfinity]

She looks insanely fun to play. The 2 vengeance gain on bg fight start and then the gaining the 5% base health per vengeance means she can start off with a war boost-like regen effect in bgs attack right? Something to buffer the blocks and parries at the beginning of the fight, or even counteract a bit of iceman’s coldsnap?

[@edisonlaw934]

And don’t forget she can regen energy damage with sp3. Should be great for war and even BGs

[@Daddylonglegs93]

The Regen is only four seconds, as a reminder. You're getting maybe one Hulkling blocked hit out of it haha. But it is something.

[@Josh_DPInfinity]

@@Daddylonglegs93 ooohh yeah, that’s right. I had over extended that in my head. It’s a cool piece of her kit though, going to be great in quests

[@OsFan8]

Score for early access!

[@Khaerys-qn5pf]

Is it me , or her special attack names are inspired by Metal Gear Rising Revengeance ? Great cook by Honeydew

[@Daddylonglegs93]

Knowing Honeydew, probably.

[@anomics3439]

I understand we’ve had a lot of defenders, but I do feel like she has the look of someone who should be a sneakly good defender(dual use defender).

[@waynewayne8419]

Naah that would suck

[@anomics3439]

@@waynewayne8419 Depends on implementation.

[@StephenDolan]

Hope this means Miles is coming as a 7*.

[@godplar]

Good video DLL. Two things, I wanna see Graviton in the game, I feel like his abilities would be insanely fun to design (I know you can’t add champs to the game). Also, with 7* sinister, would the special damage stat focus increase degen damage because the degens are inflicted via special?

[@Daddylonglegs93]

No, special damage is for hits only. No red numbers.

[@syc227]

How many wasps?

[@jonf5679]

Does she have to win a fight first before using the totem cross fight?

[@edisonlaw934]

Yes

[@seregostmcoc]

Would

[@tearsofdenial3796]

That spiderpunk synergy is probably one of if not the worst synergy in the game, not only is Spiderpunk not viable at all for the content you would expect to die on (pretty much just abyss), that content is outdated in terms of rewards so it’s certainly not good for people pulling shathra early, it’s also terrible for players behind the curve because they probably won’t be able to complete that content if they’re beringing suboptimal champs like shathra and spiderpunk, vice actually proven champs in that area. Also the only area where it may come into play is in content that feautures 8 minute long fights, making an effect go from “faster ramp in the beginning” to a very marginal bonus due to how long the fight is already In general, mechanics in the game that reward you for being bad are far less useful than ones that do the opposite and the funny thing about this synergy is that the payoff isn’t even gonna make the difference and actually help players who aren’t very skilled because it’s just not potent enough… now if it stored the crowd and added a cap of 50-100

[@Daddylonglegs93]

...you didn't stick around for the second half of the synergy, did you?
