Balance Update: Kate Bishop and Viv Vision

Hey all,

Balance Team here again with an update on the latest round of Champions up for review, Viv Vision and Kate Bishop!

Viv Vision

Viv’s design has a specific vision: by sacrificing Ease of Use, Survivability, and sustainable damage, she brings exceptional control and fast damage in short fights like Battlegrounds! We wanted players to feel they have to execute her gameplay skillfully, but also that the payoff is rewarding and achievable in a fairly broad range of matchups.

So far, we’ve seen Viv shine in matchups where her Utility is most relevant and her primary damage loop has enough reach, like a same-rank Sauron, for example. However, against defensive threats she can’t completely solve, her performance lags behind the pack of Tech attackers. Additionally, even when played masterfully Viv is finding her loop’s damage is just barely too short against more Champions than we wanted, especially the extra stats of 7-Stars.

We’ll be making changes with the target of increasing how comfortable Viv is to play, as well as increasing her loop’s damage reach. We want players to feel they have the room to experiment with her abilities while still feeling a burden of execution, but without a single mistake meaning the fight is lost simply because it takes too long or is too dangerous to close out that final 8% of the opponent’s health bar.

Because our overall goal is to add reliability when playing as Viv, we’re looking at a larger number of smaller changes. Some key areas we’re looking at so far include:

• Making her transition from Phase into a counter attacking combo safer
• Reducing the number of taps during Sp2 necessary to reach 15 Solar Energy
• Increasing the damage of Sp2 tap burst
• Adding more reliability to her Energy Vulnerabilities
• Expanding the 125% Ability Accuracy on her Phase to more abilities (sorry not sorry, Domino) Again, our goal is that skilled Viv players should find themselves better equipped to utilize Viv’s unique playstyle across a broader range of matchups.

Kate Bishop

Trick Arrows + the return of the Perfect Release mechanic adds up to an attacker with plenty of Utility to choose from! We wanted players to customize their playstyle in order to adapt to a wide variety of encounters. As an attacker, Kate’s damage output wasn’t meant to be flashy in her day to day fights, but she comes equipped with high damage potential in fights where she can ramp her effects up. So far we’re happy with what we’re seeing in both scenarios!

On defense, Kate was meant to be an average defender with a few tricks to remember (be careful with her Special 2 Trick Arrow!) and so far we’re seeing her perform in range with other defenders of this type.

Slowly building her up. Seen some decent videos of her doing extremely well in Speed EAB. Anyone have any hands on experience with jer at T2?

I'm still building her, but apparently people have used her to clear floor 25 of Shadowlands, so she can't be awful

When darkness falls, will we be found worthy of the precious light the legend speaks of?

I've got her at T2 and she's amazing. I've got maxed crit rate, 180% crit damage, three of her skills cause stun plus a couple with DOT, and she's got at least one if not two skills with iframes. Plus high dodge and natural 45% ignore dodge. Easily my favourite speed character.

she rocks, even with stun immune the WB's drop like flies, she solo'd SuGi today for me, ive got SB iso on her and a recovery set Obelisk, all skills 6,

what makes her so effective is she dances around like silk and elsa and her dodge is unreal, better than anything else ive seen which puts her a level above other speed, id say the only other speed that comes close is elsa and thats T2 also with her immunity

Success is not final, failure is not fatal, it is the courage to continue that counts History will be kind to me for i intend to write it

So she to you is the best speed?

Do you also have Gwenpool at T2?

Making that decision now.

Gwenpool at T2 can solo my Speed Alliance Battle

Almost any t2 speed character can solo normal speed AB. The question should be how well they fare in speed xab. My t2 silk can get me 50k in speed xab.
