Sure, so in a case where the requirement is "be as terrible as possible," she wins. I don't think this is the gotcha you think it is.

I'm just a little sick of this "well, that's not a bad character, you're just not being creative enough! There is definitely a situation where X terrible character is better than Y overpowered character!"

Great, then provide a video demonstration of said situation and we can all figure out if you're right!

It is definitely a gotcha coz he was obviously making a joke!

If I had a dollar for every time I assumed a post like this was a joke and found out it was serious...well, I'd have an awful lot of dollars (mostly due to...uh...that one guy).

I actually think she could be worse because her purple power is only half terrible. Hopefully they can give her a balance pass that makes the slightly OK part of that only work on Limited characters, then she can be a truly balanced bad at everything superstar.

Mod mode off

I think you're being very generous about the purple power - I actually prefer the others. And she is overall, better than Talos, despite his stun; stunning someone for a few turns and not doing anything else until they wake up and beat you up is no way to live.

I hope she's on a list somewhere -- she's become my new go-to example because I think she's actually worse than Talos. That red power has to be one of the worst in the entire game, her purple is a modal thing where somehow both modes are terrible, and her black is overpriced and unreliable.

There is a way to see what your MMR current ranking looks like through team ups received from Alliance members although I can't remember exactly how it works - maybe if a player who has a higher level character than your version sends you that team up you get it at your MMR rank? That could be wrong. Someone on here will know exactly how it works. In my experience that rank is usually slightly higher than your top character but I assume it varies.
Surprised people are not using Morbius - is he not a better counter than Sabretooth to Polaris?

IIRC you can check your MMR bracket by the level of the enemies on sidenodes of boss events. With my handful of level 240s the strongest enemies were lv228 during the most recent boss.

And you'd be surprised at how many people ignore 'Polaris counters' on 4★ tier simply because MT exists. I avoid Pol/MT teams because its not worth it, tho I do use Gorr myself to feast on those Pol/Grocket teams here and there. It consumes a bit more healthpacks but on the flipside they never retaliate, unlike what happens with Pol/MT (they always hit you back). Sadly I came in too late to cash into MT
