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."

I think EA and Respawn have released Conduit to change the current meta. That's why I'm positive about Conduit.(Of course, if she's on the enemy team, her ULT is annoying.)

And there are opinions among the pros that her performance is still ambiguous, so I hope she can be studied a little more.

Plus I still remember that shock and horror when Seer was released before, so I don't think her performance is the performance that will shake the game.

I'm rather hoping that the meta of the game will become more diverse with a new legend, so I'm welcoming the release of Conduit, and I hope that more diverse legends will be released!

@DrWizardo She's awesome to have as a teammate in 3 strikes because this means you can keep pushing and finish the other team.

@DrWizardo

"So if the games stagnates completely will you like it?"

I guess what I mean is that it isn't the new legends or weapons or even maps that make the game interesting for me, and their absence isn't what would cause stagnation. For me.

For me the most interesting aspect of the game is player behavior. My own teammates are the players I get to observe most closely, but enemies are almost as interesting. And they all keep surprising me in virtually every match I play. Even after 25k matches. Sometimes they surprise with the idiocy of their antics, sometimes with their borderline pro-level gameplay, sometimes with their attitudes, both good and bad. All the other stuff in the game is just something new to learn (or learn to deal with) when I feel like I could easily double my current match count and still not have mastered the basics. So new stuff doesn't really help me as much as it gets in the way.

Not saying everything was already perfect. Just that sometimes change is just change for its own sake. Like most of the newer legends. They all feel to me like devices to encourage new purchases rather than worthwhile additions to gameplay. Even the rare new maps. One may look different than the last, but they all play more or less the same no matter what some people say about newer maps playing slower because they're too big.

Sorry for the ramble.

I took a little deeper look at my season stats, and discovered that my kdr with Conduit is ~30% higher than my season kdr overall. This is the first time I've ever dove straight into a newly released legend, especially one without a movement ability to get out of trouble,. She really works for me.

Undoubtedly some nerfs will be incoming, I just hope she doesn't get gutted completely.

Well her passive seems meh to me. I mean this speed boost is kind of nice, but also not the best passive you can have. It is of limited use occasionally only.
Her tactical has quite a long range, and since it's got 20 seconds cooldown also with chargeup time on the recipient you need to time it. But the fact it works through walls makes it quite long range and easy to use. I don't know if this can be a tide turner in a heavy match, but for sure it has its good uses as life saver.
Her ultimate has also quite the long range at which it can be deployed, which can be interesting. The batteries, which do create her ultimate, do have way too much hitpoints until one is destroyed. I do expect a nerf to them coming in the future.
So her kit is quite straightforward to me, nothing to complicated actually.
Personality wise she's annoying as hell. It's like you've put a chipmunk into the game, or one of these positive life coaches spreading fake wisdoms around the internet on crack.

@reconzero I get what you mean. I do appreciate quality, and as the meta changes and players evolve trends and knowledge spread to make new combos of already existing features. Personally I just don't see that as something that will stop happening if you keep experimenting with new legends and map features.

Lets say you have a map on an asteroid and periodically it passes through higher and lower gravity. Other maps may have "collectors" that sweep around outside the ring to pick up and drop of people that camp in the ring and send them to an arena. Yet another may have portals that you can pick from a set of end locations, while the last has a focus on vehicles or natural disasters.

Anyway, this is off topic so I'll stop here.

@Zerogravitiy27 I tried her out a bit more and I like her a bit more now. Her face is weird, I'll give you that, and the claw-toes.

@pandareno1999 I guess we'll see what happens, I'm starting to see her uses even though I feel like sometimes the tactical is very strong.

@Vruhag Been using her to get the revives in normal br (not a fan of 3 strikes) and it helps to have those extra shields. Also as I solo queue the passive is very nice. There is often some dude just yoloing it across the map while the other lingers at another location for ages. At least with this you can pick the one that is most responsive and try to go there.

The balls are pretty good for griefing banner grabs xD Not sure if they hurt the Crypto drone, but they are a pain at times.

There are a ton of lines with her that are annoying for sure. GG GG, the ones about bugs, the long rants in what ever language she uses with no translation... You'd think the devs would learn.
