I haven't touched her more than tried her abilities in the firing range. Her tactical seems borderline OP to me. On herself it's ok, but when there are people spawning in in red armor and she just gets them to full.... yeah what genious decided that should be a thing?Her passive is ok i guess, only seen it, never used it.Ult seems somewhat ok too, although I don't know if the ticks stack, if so it's OP.

@DrWizardo There will be some tweaking coming but so far she doesn't feel OP.

Doesn't feel overly op. I need some visual cue though when I'm fighting a teammate she's tac'ed. Maybe there is one and I don't know what to look for though. At least with a Rev I know when I'm fighting an uphill battle with someone who's cringin' it up.

@reconzeroI think Conduit is pretty decent. The temporary shields Tactical is good, her Passive is very helpful (especially for newer players who lose track of their teammates a lot), and the Ultimate can be really good when used in the right situation.What ability set haven't they done enough with yet? All of them are based on some aspect of or activity in the game - weapons, ordinance, movement, vision, looting, healing, shields, etc. I'm personally struggling with new ideas at this point with 25 legends already in the game. Just not sure what they're going to come up with.

So far, I like her. She's not complicated or cumbersome, like I find Vantage with her movement or Seer. It'll take time for people to learn and use her right. Her passive is nice in catching up to teammates. It's not abusive as it's a short speed burst, per teammate targeted, who are out of range.I see people using her Tactical proactively instead of reactively. It's the same principle as Lifeline - you're not healing anyone who hasn't taken damage. It only works if you or your party lost shield bars, up to 3 bars worth, for 12 sec., regenerated while not taking damage, then goes away. Which means, it's going to be clutch shielding in combat. Faster than 3 shield cells and save on shield resources carried.Her Ultimate is interesting. At a 1st glance, it's a straight line zone of control. BUT, if you position yourself within the ground targeting circle, standing close to the inner part of the circle, you can bend the direction of her Ultimate to something like a 45 degree arc. Otherwise, it can be used indoor, with less batteries depending on size of the room, BUT you'll get stacking damage, 10 points per sec., spherical - meaning that it goes through walls and floors that it can target. Basically, it'll take out a knocked opponent. And her Ultimate will do a better job at ring gate keeping people with the slow and ticking damage. The only bane will be a Crypto EMPing the batteries. But then her Ultimate isn't permanent like Controller abilities. Just takes time to be creative.

@HappyHourSumwur Impossible for a kit to be 100% original at this point for apex imo. Personally want a subtle territory based recon "closest to this is planting Crypto drone on a wall - not always effective, or Seer ult - too third party inviting" but I think Seer made devs too afraid of making a general recon instead of slapping it into a passive, almost anticipating Gibby rework to give his ult a scan.Edit: scratch the first part a bit, I remember a leaked character named digger "maybe thats the name" that could potentially breach areas with portals though a wall - for the many complaints I seen about camping, devs have down a poor job of making a dedicated breacher character "brought this up awhile back when devs turned Husara kit into Mad Maggie, that season also had me stop watching apex youtubers over their copium of why wondering her kit was bad."

@Auntyentity Good points! I thought the shield-heal was pretty much infinate over time? I.e it would heal 125 on red, and if you get damaged again, you get more if you take a step back to not get shot. Like when people are peak-shooting.

So the ult does stack?
Also yeah! Blocking people from getting out of zone is a big one. Especially when zone ends behind Command center on SP (which is completely broken and needs fixing).

"The addition of legends, guns and maps/map changes is what keeps the game going for me."

Funny. I keep going despite these things which I often find far more frustrating than interesting. Go figure people.

@hayhor Her ult feels a tad OP. If you get down by her ult it kills you in like 10 seconds or less. But obviously it can be destroyed. I think they will dial down the damage on it. She'd be a great legend to have when pushing with Ballistic lol.

I like her overall. She's a good support Legend. I'd rank her above avg.

@reconzero So if the games stagnates completely will you like it?
While I get frustrated too, it is often due to things working poorly. New stuff isn't necessarily always progress in "the right direction" (noone should ever come back with red shields...sigh). New stuff does offer new ways to combine and experience the game tho.

A game that does not att or remove gets boring pretty quick unless it is perfect, which no game will likelye ever be.

@Lord_Scorpion34 I can see it being usefull for taking out downed players in some situations, the damage isn't all that high otherwise tho'.

@DrWizardo

What I don't care for is when there is very little change in balance. With a couple exceptions, this season provides very little change over the last for the average player. But I'm finding the matchmaking improved, so I'm enjoying it nonetheless. I don't absolutely require a bunch of new content, but it sure does help. The latest weapon (Nemesis) and legend (Conduit) additions have both been very compelling IMO.

Starting to enjoy her more and more tbh. The people who play her well are a big help to me as Wraith, when I'm out doing Wraithy things in TDM and Gun Run. She might be my newest favy teammate since Loba (on BR).

@pandareno1999I'm still waiting for the Energy pistol! I'm thinking something that could counter the Wingman with a little less damage but a higher fire rate.
@DrWizardoif her ult is placed well it can def cause problems for you especially if used while pushing. It'll be interesting to see how people who decide to Main/Master her use her & some of the team combos used with her.

@pandareno1999 Good point. If it feels new that does help. I am looking forward to the potential "augment system" like in fortnite. Hopefully they'll do something interesting.
I'd also like if they added more badges to be honest, that should be quite simple.

When it come to legends, weapons and items I get that it might be hard to not overlap existing things, but I think it makes the most impact so far.

@Lord_Scorpion34 Watched people playing her, Newcastle and Lifeline in the three strikes mode, seemed VERY strong.
Her ult is almost like some hybrid of fences and Valkyries tactical. Although it is fairly slow to deploy.
